It was with great anticipation that I awaited the turbine repair folks arrival from Weatherford this morning. Weatherford is about 120 northwest (I think) of here, I think it is west of Fort Worth (although it could be east of Fort Worth, but I think Dallas is east of Fort Worth). They said they would arrive at about 9 o'clock and they actually called and said they would be a few minutes late (they already were). The showed up, and a goodly portion of the morning was trying to see exactly HOW MANY vehicles we could get stuck in the mud. Who knew that a truck with a cherry picker on it weighed 35,000 pounds? Not me. I put in a call to Hubert to see if, just in case, we got this truck stuck in the mud if he had anything that would get it un-stuck. He did, so away we went, and it only took five minutes before the truck was stuck. Hubert to the rescue, and it was at that point that I bothered to even ask Hubert if he had any other plans for the day. It seems he did not. So, Hubert pushed the truck even further into the muck with his big tractor, and they proceeded to lower the turbine nearest to the house. That turbine needed brush wires replace and the bearing case replaced. It is not operating as intended for the first time in MONTHS...maybe even a year. The other turning quit running about two weeks ago when we had some really strong winds, and all it needed was brush wires replaced. The real challenge is finding someone to come out here and repair them. They went out of warranty about two or three years ago, but they are both working now and it is (really) music to my ears!Otherwise it was a day of quickly completed chores around the house, and all is good!
Deeds, Actions, Changes, TURBINES, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
