“There are a variety of cold weather and anti-icing technologies that are used on wind turbines in the coldest regions,” she said. “These technologies help prevent the buildup of ice on turbine blades, detect ice when it cannot be prevented, and remove ice safely when it is detected.”

The ol spike top window makers. When we were kids we'd shake those trees, trying to get the tops to break off. Old man would give us shit, rightfully so.
Fuck we were dumb!
I used to get yelled at for climbing 15'-20' younger trees as far as I could to the top and I'd "parachute" down safely to the ground as the tree bent over because it couldn't hold my weight.

I was like 12. Mom busted me doing it by the campsite and scolded me good. After that I made sure to do it outside of her watchful eye. Some kids snuck cigs and booze into the woods - and I'd do that too - but I'd also sneak off to get my parachute fix on.

Did the same thing on young alder trees. Had one snap on me about 15' up. Knocked the wind out of me when I hit the ground

I always liked climbing crab apple trees and launching the little apples at people.

Boil order has been lifted. Praise Odin.
I'd be boiling all water for at least 2 more weeks.
If this entire ordeal has proved anything, it's that the people in charge don't have your best interests at heart.

Onetrickpony @Onetrickpony is right to preach respect for that machine

I'm not licensed but I run saws quite often and have learned from the pros to not be cocky in that line of work
