    We had an old man in Detroit who built a small windmill in his backyard. All brick. My Grandfather and I would take walks together and check his progress. It was pretty cool to myself at 5 yrs old. First I’d heard of selling electricity back to the power company. Getting fully off the Electrical grid would be ideal to me. Total electric without any gas lines. Being hooked to the grid, hopefully selling back more than buying. Having the grid as a backup, instead of a generator as a back up fir the grid. I miss having my own well and septic. My water and seeer bill keeps going up. I’m sure it’s piped through lead infested pipes. The whole country has a lead pipe problem. Small towns in Texas to Flint. It’s just kept quiet. It’s a rampant problem.

    I saw them once at the port of Baltimore. Quite a feat hauling them.

    They have plenty. I get loads from them occasionally. Few have freight everywhere. Can’t cover it all, one Truck or 5000. The well known mega I used to work for flat out told Us in Orientation that 50% of their freight was Direct, the rest Broker,

    Put out an APB for a 53’ Dry Van. Mines wearing out quickly. Starting to worry about it.
