Maybe the perfect trouble tree should be plastic!!! That way it would never die!!!

I like the OP. was very nice and insightful.

SB, I travel down I-49 from Shreveport to Lafayette every week or two now. Every time I am headed southbound I see one of the nacelles going northward. Don't know where they are going, if they get off the interstate before it ends in S'Port, but I am seeing them all the time now.

any idea where they are going?

Also I have noticed the last few trips what looks like a jet engine under a tarp being moved, seen a few trucks now with them, about 30 feet long, but only about 4 feet across. Too long for a fighter engine i think, too narrow for a cargo bird. Would this possible be the generator assembly for it? In which case, I did see one of them turning off the interstate around mile marker 60 or so and head west
