OK..... now if we just TOLD you about this... you would NOT believe it.... butt you know what "THEY" say about Pictures being worth 87,000 words...
A few days ago we heard this LOUD Racket... and it was a HELICOPTER... flying around our hill... and the next hill over... It was a SPECIAL helicopter... beclaws it was WORKING on something... and it is AMAZING... the POWERS Company was having it CUT TREE BRANCHES away from their Powers Lines..
NOW... Sarge can VERIFY the thingys I am saying about how far away this was from our YARD... OK?? it was ALMOST a full mile from our front porch... WAY across the ROAD and the BIG FIELD and down across the Creek that is over there. THAT is a HOOGE FIELD (over 20 acres) Now we MUST tell you that it was a very cloudy OVERCAST day so the pics are not totally clear... butt you will get the idea.......... Are you ready???
When it was FLYING the long CHAIN thingy would SWAY and SWING... see below the Big Glob at the bottom of the Chain??? THAT was the MOTOR for the SAW BLADES... in this picture the BLADES look like a bunch of BALLS butt they REALLY ARE ROUND SAW BLADES...
the helicopter would drop down.... CLOSE to the tree tops... and then we couldn't even SEE the SAWS.... Butt we could HEAR them... even over the NOISE of the HELICOPTER.. MOM used the LONGEST ZOOM on the Flashy beast to get the pictures...
LOOK at how LONG the CHAIN thingy was... the helicopter was white and yellow..
SEE??? there were TEN blades that WHACKED the limbs off the trees that were close to the powers lines....
The whole thingy excited ALL of us.... we watched fur almost an HOUR as the Pilot VERY SKILLFULLY maneuvered the COPTER and the SAWS and did his work. He worked in our general area for a full week. BUTT this was the closest he ever was to OUR hill. The Limbs and trees have to be kept BACK so that when we have WIND STORMS... not so many powers lines get broken and leave peeps without POWERS...
Now when THAT happens to us... WE have a Generator thingy that gets started up and plugged RIGHT INTO our HOUSE... (DAD is a GENIUS).. and runs our Cold Foods boxes and Freezers and the TV and lights and EVEN our YAPtop computer. BUTT maybe NOW that this Helicopter thingy has cleared away a BUNCH of Pawsible trouble making Trees... we won't have to use it so often.
Last July 29th. a Once in a lifetime WIND STORM went through Ohio( and other states ) and we did not have powers (except fur what the generator made fur us) for 7 whole days...
WE hope that you liked these pictures of this procedure.
