You want to talk about a messed up day, I will tell you about mine today.
I headed up to work today and it was raining, which isn't that bad but it was only 32 degrees. Well I finally made my 40 minute drive up the mountain to work only to get up there and have it start snowing. I was dressed for the cold but this sucked because I was planning on doing my inventory. My warehouse is actually some storage containers with my parts in it, well I went into my office and got ready for our morning meeting and this is where it gets really messed up. I got told i could use a few of the guys to help with my inventory, and I was like hell ya.

Well the meeting starting and then I found out why I could use the guys, we were on a windfarm lock down. Everyone looked around when finally the boss explained to us that last night at another windfarm about 10 miles away had an incident. They went on to explain that a tech was up on top of a 300 ft wind mill and was shot at. He was missed by 1 foot and the police tracked down that the sniper was 678 yards away. They went on to tell us the police found out there is a militia group that is against the wind mill industry and then told us they found the groups website and it was specific about destroying our companies turbines in specific.

So now we are on high alert and even have been advised to carry a gun if we have a permit, we are going to start having armed guards watching the gates.

And to top it all off I went to start my inventory and we had 3 inches of wet snow which later turned to sleet and had winds of 20 mph.

I will let you guys know more when we find out.


So as the song says "So you had a bad day" think of what we get to go through now everyday and wondering if we are going to have snipers trying to pick us off when we are up in the towers or even driving down the road.


Peace out and everyone thats against guns I will say this " FUCK YOU" I am carrying mine because of a non law abiding citizen wants to start shit.

That is some scary stuff, Dave.

Anti-windmill groups? I bet they're not Dutch. Is it one of those Greenpeace type of organizations that hates windmills, coalplants and every single other way of getting electricity?

Well here in Pa we still have alot of coal mines. People are thinking it is the wind farms that will raise the cost of electricity, when in fact we sell our electricity to the electric companies and they set the prices to the consumers.

ya thats wierd ... take out windmills they are the root of all evil ... they cause a ton of polution etc ...

ya dave dont go get shot on us now ... we need our devils advocate when it comes to the packers ...

Maybe one in the leg. :icon_smile:

And you guys think I'm surrounded by a bunch of inbred rednecks.

I had a bad day too Dave. My oldest daughter had her adenoids and tonsils removed plus her nose tissues repacked. Something about watching you flesh and blood suffer gets to a guy.

Anyway Dave, sorry your company is under siege by stupidity.

Crazy.. Be careful Hazer.. Despite your Packer fandom, you help balance the logic for the rest of these cheeseheads.. Keep safe man.

Damn, dhazer. That's some crazy ass shit. Stay safe bro.

If you want to hire me to try and pick them off with a .50 cal and thermal scope, I'd be more than willing to. I have zero experience, but I'm a quick learner. 😃

just a kinda stupid question, but what gun are you willing to keep yourself protected with??

anyway, keep safe and not stupid, thats what my mom used to say
