I was up at the Industrial Center yesterday morning when I saw this wild site! This guy is doing some finishing touches on one of those humongous blades hanging from a rope! There wind gust were up to at least 35mph.
He certainly earned his pay!
Let me just state for the record that I probably definitely would have soiled myself 30 feet off the ground. What’s this guy making? Like $250 an hour?

Was he cleaning bug brains off the blade? The tip of the blade exceeds 160 mph.

Ho-ly crap! That is a job I could never, EVER do. What possesses one to get into this line of work? Amazing! This is right up there with the guys who work on high-tension power lines.

Just looking at the photos made me hyperventilate. There is no amount of money anyone could pay me to do that. I don’t think I could even have taken the pictures.
