Still trying to find one . . . assuming it's warm enough (say 40°F) I'll ride up into the mountains this weekend or early next week and use one of the wind turbines as my "windmill".

Was it this one, InhouseBob?

A Texas farmer, on a tour Down Under, was talking to a bloke about his ranch back home. “It’s so big”, he said, “that I can start driving from one side at sun rise and not have reached the other at nightfall.”

The bloke took a a sip from his beer, nodded, and said, “I had a car like that once.”

On the matter of farm sizes, it is, of course, the Chinese, who now lay claim to the largest farm on the planet. The Mudanjiang City Mega Farm in Heilongjiang, China, manages an astounding 22,500,000 acres. Australia’s largest, Anna Creek Stationacres.

Ah ...

Until his death in 2005, Kerry Francis Bullmore Packer was Australia's richest person. Aside from being a very successful business man, he was a prodigious gambler and is said both to have made and broken casinos. He owned a couple as well.

The story goes that Kerry was playing the tables in Las Vegas one night when he was approached by a Texan who started making a nuisance of himself. When asked to go away, the Texan is said to have asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"No", said Packer.

"I happen to be worth $100 million", said the Texan.

"Toss you for it", replied Packer.

Got 'em! It was 43°F at 6:00 AM when I left home, so with a Roadcrafter 1-piece suit, long underwear, and Gerbing's heated jacket liner and gloves I was quite comfortable. This is the Mill Run Wind Farm Project, located near Normalville, PA.

I think it was more like 35°F when I was up on the mountain, because after I parked the bike and took my gloves off, I darn near froze . . .

Two photos, because one shows the bike more clearly (always like to look at it!), but the more distant shot is needed to illustrate the enormity of these turbines. It actually sends chills up my spine to be so close to these things; they are eerie. If they "drone" (which they are criticized for doing), I could not hear them, and I was very close.

Nice shots cookiemech. Never been close to one of those. They look huge!

Recently had the opportunity to walk around one laying on the ground at a dock, they really are bigger than they look.
