Personal: Brandon's Trip to Wind Farms

I've taken several road trips across the Great Plains and I always seem to "wake up" right as we're driving by the wind farms. Never fails. This las trip to Albuquerque I suddenly realized why. As we were driving, I could faintly hear the soft sound of the radio disrupted periodically by the crunching of sunflower seeds as I dozed in and out of consciousness. Suddenly an ever-so-slight swerve and the deafening rumble of the tires as they cross the shoulder... I jolted to attention and look over at Brandon with his silly cheesy grin and then he says, "oops... Love you." It suddenly dawned on me... I should've known! I bet he purposely did that just to wake me up so he point to these big giant FANS! If there's anything that has to do with electrical engineering, he tells me all about it.

So for the next hour I got to hear about his recent field trip to the Centennial Wind Farms in Oklahoma. I got to hear how Brandon fell asleep and then woke up with his head on another guy's shoulder. Now you know how I feel Manalo! I got to hear that there was almost a brawl in the restaurant with an anti-wind farm enthusiast, or in Brandon's terms, "an electric throw-down." In my best judgment I'm assuming he was exaggerating. As for the in-depth academic portion of the trip... well... instead of explaining what I haven't the slightest clue of, visit the Centennial Wind Farm--wikipedia site. It's pretty cool what technology offers these days, especially when I can get electricity even cheaper! :)

Here are a few pics from the field trip... taken by the 2nd best photographer :) Check out our website and be sure to LEAVE A COMMENT!My favorite:This is his Electric Transmission class that attended the field trip:
There's my cute hubby :)No idea what all of this is? Something that has to do with electricity!This is ridiculous... he spent all day sleeping on the drive out there and back, and then comes home and sleeps with Coco! Apparently being a passenger is pretty strenuous...I had to post this one just so you all wouldn't think that I had a hideous looking dog and husband... the picture above is just their sleeping faces!
