Westerly Winds

I finally went to the store last night and got some 5 minute JB Weld and epoxied the old hard drive bearing to the top of the the steel pole I have had in inventory for the last 10 years.  To this I added a bit of Aluminum angle I had.  After drilling a couple of hole and cutting a arrow feather type of indicator I attache the wind sock.  All this being done, I took it down to the beach and planted it into the marl.  I now have a roller bearing indicator with a wind sock attached.  The 15 kt winds of today let it show it’s stuff.  Hopefully, it will last for years.

After that came the leaves – another 4 loads for today and it looks like a sure 4 more loads.  That good old Westerly wind was blowing the neighbors leaves to us as well.  Last year we missed the event but this year we continue the tradition of loading an extra 10 loads and we might make 40 this year – a record.  Thanks to Marvin, Gene and Loren.
