Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Sure has been quiet around here the last couple days. Everyone must be taking advantage of the great weather here in the midwest and catching up on outdoor chores.

I was thinking the same thing last night.

I thought the site was broke and wouldn't let me see who was posting.

I got out and was trimming my mesquite trees so I can get up closer while mowing. They love to spread. Found out you not only have to watch were you step for fire ant mounds you also need to look up for the Air Force. Felt a big hurt above my left boob a wasp had got me. Looked up and there was a big nest in the tree. Thankful they all didn't come calling. Got my spray and they are no more. I don't know as I knew they would build nest in trees until I came over here. Have seen other nest in the trees. Plus got me some of my dead mesquite wood and cooked me a steak over it and boy was that good eating. Won't be buying anymore charcoal.

HAha glad you made it through alive. Wait till you climb a tower and find a nest or two in the tower crown. OR...on the tower leg. Yes, they make em there too.

Sorry to say I've been there too. That's when you need one of the escape cables like they have on the crows nest of oil derricks for a fast decent.

Paul what did you decide about that big mill in texas

I was interested, but the owner was not willing to budge on the asking price.

Probably doesn't need the money so he figures I'll just set here and watch it deteriorate if no one wants to pay my price.

Buy it at the estate sale. lol
