July Jigsaw Puzzle

     

    Here I am rubber-necking (photo courtesy of the Goodwife).  A couple of weeks ago, the trucks began arriving.  In all, there would be 24 flatbed trailers lining the windmill road between 117 and 118.

  

Here are a few of the jigsaw pieces:

Then it began to look like this:

A couple of guys took a ride. 

     And a couple went to work way up above.  With binoculars (see beginning picture) you could see they wore harnesses.  (With Polaroid sunglasses, you could see the lines from the blades that the guys in the bucket attached.)

Down came the propeller.

The ants dismantled the prop.

Back up it went.

Apart came the jigsaw pieces.

     And the puzzle players repeated the process a mile and a half east.  Don’t know why they didn’t just drive it over there.  One can only imagine the cost of renting all that equipment, paying the help, etc.  I hope the GE warranty is still good.  It hasn’t been a year.

    Up next, things break down.  (These items aren’t under warranty for sure.)
