~and the best part about that is that it means it will soon be over! Personally I do not care for Halloween, in a way, shape or form. With that said, my next-door business neighbors, The Sharon Pharmacy, is known as Halloween Headquarters. Today, while minding my biz, I looked out front and two really strange characters were out roaming about. If they show up at your house in the coming days, I'd lock the door for sure...... :)
Maybe the snowstorm tomorrow will drive the monsters back into their caves for another year!
August 23rd and October 23rd..........just a wee bit of difference, wouldn't ya say?
First things first...hopefully, I am now back on schedule. Sorry for the mix-up to those who are kind enough to follow daily. I found numerous subjects yesterday morning so I think I'm good to go again for a bit.
Second. Today's post. It is a crane, which was just raised and is being used this week at the early stages of the construction of the new "green energy" heating plant, now under construction at The Hotchkiss School in nearby Lakeville, Ct. Kind-of a guy thing, I know. It has all kinds of counter-balance, as can be witnessed in this picture. The crane is operated by a guy walking around with a little joy stick on the job. The power is from an electric motor, which is run by a very small, quiet Honda generator. How cool is that? No big monstrosity of a diesel fume-throwing machine thus far, other than the excavators which dug the hole.
I am told the plant will burn wood chips for its energy source, and burn them so cleanly that it truly will be amazing. A case of Hotchkiss investing their money, and doing something really good for the environment, and for all of us.
Applause, applause!
So last night I had a monthly church meeting which ran extremely long, and when I got home, I just crawled into bed and called it a day. Thus, no posting was done Monday evening. I also need to thank my daughter who correctly said I had done a post on The Black Goose already, and yesterdays was pretty much a re-do.. Oops! I forgot! Sorry. But thank you Cat for having a good memory and alerting me. So with all that said, I'll throw up this little picture from recent days and say we'll try and do better tomorrow....
