I see the giant wind turbine motors and blades go throw appleton,wisconsin every wed. A whole train full of them. One blade take up a train car and a half. It's pretty amazing how big these things are. I don't know why but they are awe inspiring just to watch something that big move.

Just to correct some misinformation. There were 86 wind turbines erected from October 07 to March of 08, in Brownsville, Wisconsin. The 1st one was errected in October and took 16 hours to finish. The last 2 were done in one day.

I see trucks carrying turbine blades and other wind turbine parts almost every time I travel around Houston on I-10 or I-290. All are headed west or northwest. Quite a few are being installed in the State of Texas.

This took five days. The Boldt Construction guys had never erected a wind turbine before and were being VERY cautious. And then there was the weather--a major hailstorm during construction dropped baseball-sized hail doing extensive damage to every vehicle in the area including the crane. Sorry if the video suggests this all happened in one day.

ok, Norwegian and Swedish folk music (neighbour countrys, almost the same language and culture) are in many ways very similar, so that's an answer that confirms my thought. Keep it up!

Yes my ancestors are 7/8 Swedish. But the music is all Norwegian or by the St. Olaf Choir because the school was founded by Norwegian immigrants in the 19th century.

Is the fiddeling music some Swedish/Scandinavian folk music? Sound like that, and your surname - Larson - sure is a typical Swedish name. Nice to be able to watch this structure get built up.
