that produces soda ash from mined ore deposits. Apparently the price of soda ash is at historic highs, and they want to build a facility near the ore source in Wyoming. Just finished a trip to Turkey to spend a week at the sites there near Ankara.
Electrical nerd alert: they are looking at 8 VFD's for eight 10,000 hp motors, and they have been quoted $2 million each.

My brother shot a turkey one time

The turkey flops around and succumbs to the lead.
So McBrother walks over to the turkey and bends over to pick it up and the turkey RISES again. And it is not a happy turkey. It immediately lunges at my brother who tries to evade (can't shoot it while being attacked). So he runs and the turkey is snapping at him for 50 yards or so. Finally the turkey slows down a little bit and stops chasing and my brother shoots it again.

You can wire an encoder from the motor back to the VFD
