Mike the Windmill Whisper

Meet Mike - The Windmill Whisper.

Oh,Wait....here he is!!

Mike came over to solve one of our Wind Mill woes. It was squeaky!! Last Thursday night at class several people mentioned how loud the windmill was. I guess since I live there, I didn't really notice. Once it was pointed out however, I had to agree. I set the brake so it would no longer spin, but that just 'masked' the problem. Carrie said she'd ask her wonderful spouse who sets signs for a living to come out if the winds were low. So, Thursday night ....here comes MIKE!

Now, our windmill is not the little garden variety and it's not the huge industrial turbines you see in many parts of the state. It's probably considered moderate in height, but TALL to me. The tower is 58' and with an 8' wheel on top. Making it a total of approximately 63'. Um...NO THANKS!!!!

He's going UP!!!

Let me tell you, this was quite distracting as you're trying to conduct class out front. I kept wanting to see what Mike was doing....then again,
I didn't want to look!

Still going up!!

At the TOP!!!

Yep, it's really HIM up there!!!!

He went up TWICE!!!!

Oh thank goodness, he's coming DOWN!!!!

He made it safely to the bottom!!!

THANKS MIKE!!!!
