Damnit.

Not that many actually. Or atleast that I find.
My site in located on top of a mountain in northern VT. So you can imagine the amount of wildlife that it has; and predators to birds. Yes, that's right folks, believe it or not the wildlife couldn't care less that the turbines are there. I've seen bears eating at the base of turbines many times (no, not birds). But in my 3 years of working at the site I've only found 2 birds. Maybe there was 1 or 2 more that I didn't find myself.
Although, other sites across the US (I've heard at least) do take out more birds. Though, some less. I'm pretty sure there's studies that show house cats kill more than wind turbines do.

 

I've flown over your wind turbines on a flight I made up to Montreal. Or Quebec.. I can't remember. I just flew the plane so someone could take a look at it and see if they wanted to buy it. Northwest of Burlington?

 

I think it would be Northeast of BTV

I like the cap idea. I always lay the helmet down and get some sort of crap like oil or grease on the headband.

I am professional fun sucker.

Actually, I don't. We have about 800 Chromebooks and 350 iPads and between the two I only see maybe 3-4 broken screens or otherwise significantly damaged devices per year. Desktops are never an issue, and there are very few full size student laptops.

What they do like to do is pry keys off the keyboards. I almost get more upset with the adults for that because it only happens under about three different teachers' supervision. Never anywhere else. I don't think that is a coincidence.

 

I'm sure if I were stuck in a few teachers classrooms, I would pull all of the keys off my Chromebook too. After listening to my wife, sister, cousin's wife (they work in different school districts), there's always one or two teachers at each school who should just hang it up...

 

Agreed. My wife is a kindergarten teacher, in a multi-family housing area basically. She complains about stuff like that all the time too. And also says "white" families are not as appreciative as others.

 

Morning all. I am locked out of my OSHA final cause I went to quick. It days you have to have 0 hours of seat time to take the final. Now I am just sitting here waiting. Why doesn't the final get included in my seat time. WTF

 

Done

 

You learn how to properly sit in your chair? I remember back when I took it, we had a whole section on work place ergonomics.....

 

It was silly what they went over

 

Billy, scan the certificate with the scanner set to high quality & send it to js312. This way he can create a new certificate with a fill in the blank for our names so that we don't have to sit through the class...

 

I'm guessing there were only 4 turbines? Northeast of Burlington, would be my site along with another.

Correct sir.

 

I'll refrain from typing an essay about my opinions on teacher's unions...

 

Damn... two officers shot last night in Boston... that hits way too close to home for me.

 

Just read an article on that, actually. People sure do suck. Guy was wearing body armor and shit. Terrible.

 

What company? You and I may have crossed paths if it's commercial. I've worked as a Project Manager in commercial drywall for 17 years. Firm I'm with now is called Redstar Building Systems. We do a lot of big steel stud/drywall jobs, open shop though, not union.

 

Chances are we, or our companies, have crossed paths. I work for Skanska, so generally large scale commercial construction although we will go after small projects as well.
