In Enid, Oklahoma GE has a huge yard with hundreds of wind energy blades, nacelles, and hubs. I was there at 7 am CDT to load. They had me position next to the crane. And there I sat.
Just before 11 am CDT they came back and started to load the hub on my trailer.
After it was on my trailer and chained down came the "fun" part, tarping the thing.
When that was done I left with my Oklahoma escort car. To make a long (a very long) story short we had to stop 12 times to add more bungie cords to keep the damn thing from flapping. And that still didn't work. When I got to Kansas my escort car dropped off and I continued on. Had to stop again on the north side of Wichita because the entire back half of the tarp flung all the bungies off and was flapping like a huge flag. Re-secured the damn thing again. Continued on to a truck stop in Newell, Kansas. My back is so sore tonight it is hard to walk. Took a long hot shower and that didn't help. Sleeping on my heating pad again. Good night. By the way, this thing is going to a wind farm project in Goff, Kansas.
