George and I got up early and had a pleasant breakfast. We talked and decided he would work today at OtherPower and then drive down and spend the night at his son Troy's in Fort Collins. That is where I was staying in Fort Collins. He had to be at the airport at 6 am and we thought it best he went down that night and I would stay up at the Buckhorn so he could use my bed and get to the airport on time.
We drove over to OtherPower.com's shop and we I spent the day watching George work... I spent time with Dan Bartmann the head honcho designer and web master. Several other friends stopped and we drank Black & Tans and I shot some photos for Dan of his windmill parts and the general operation up there.
These folks have quite and operation up there. They live off the grid and have satelite internet Service. They build their own homemade windmills that are very simple but very powerful. And, very strong because they survive incrediable winds up there.
I'll get another post up in a couple days.
