Manufactured in Germany, the tanks were shipped to Hampton Roads last fall and barged up the Rappahannock River
So this one could be one meant to be delivered from Germany to a Coors plant anywhere and there's no immediate way of telling how long it's been floating out there. I wonder if we'll find out more?

The tanks are made in Germany and shipped to the US.
This may have been a replacemnt tank coming to the US or it may have been one the original shipped tanks and it has been floating around for nearly a year.
I wonder also if it was being shipped back to Germany because it was defective. But I find that hard to believe as I would think they would repair it on site at Coors instead of returning back to Germany.
I used to drink Tennant’s Beer when I lived in Scotland a dozen years ago. Mmmm.....

Not anything I have seen in the oilfield.
No, it’s not too big.
I have them all around me. It takes two semi-trailers (and one tractor) to haul one segment.
One blade is two trailers.
Four blades per windmill.
4-5 vertical segments.
Very large.
That last picture is the biggest vibrator I’ve ever seen.
You work offshore?
“Why don’t they open it?
Because it might be a giant practical-joke snake”.
OK, that was funny. I will be cleaning my monitor screen for a few minutes...
I went sailing once with an ex-girlfriend and when we finally arrived at the marina at the end of the day, I discovered she had fallen off the boat somewhere along the way................
That was my story and I'm sticking to it!
I know, I’ve seen windmills up close and personal while stationed in Germany.
I was replying to someone else that the tank or whatever was too big to be part of a windmill.
I have, yes, but the windmills I see are all over the New Mexico prarie.
They’re sprouting up all over near the big transmission lines.
I think they are pretty, in an alien sorta way.
That is one heckuva truck, and they have to have one heckuva route planner.
I drive thru Weatherford OK when going to district offices between Elk City and OK City...they have many out there too...thet are creepy cool
