Wind farms in Ellenburg..

Today we went to see the windmills in Ellenburg. My Uncle drives the escort vehicle that transports the pieces of these 300 foot high windmills. I’ll post lots of pictures from my phone when I get home. The blades (3) are 110 feet long and attach to three pole pieces that total 300 feet. With the part the blades attach to it takes 7 separate truckloads to get one windmill to a loaction. There are over 100 up here and thousands come from here to North Texas and other areas of the country. I got a lot of good pictures that will be up here some time tomorrow.

Edit 4/8/08: Picture added.

Big fantasy baseball day..

Today I have 5 pitchers starting and I’m tied this week so far. I don’t get a chance to check my team that often and only the next day after it’s all been updated. At home there’s a stat tracker but it uses java and my phone doesn’t have java yet. I’m sure the folks at Apple will bring it out soon but for now all I can do is keep an eye on the games to see how my players are doing. Not sure if there are any games on tv but I’m sure we’re going somewhere today. We’re leaving tomorrow but I don’t know exactly when. If it was up to my Mom we would leave early. I don’t know why but she doesn’t like to stay very long. I guess she gets bored and usually she has work to get back to but not this time. I don’t like to overstay my welcome either so we stay a few days and go home. I’ll write more later today.
