We get a lot of NYC and NJ traffic headed to and from Vermont, right past my house, lot of em have a place there, like to ski and or what have you. They like to get away from it, still a long hike, it totally jams up the state road here, whenever there is a long weekend, holiday, etc, next one will be Martin Luther King day, it'll start Thursday night, leaf lookers in the fall, and skiing throughout the winter, lot of traffic from down there. I see trucks with the NYC style lettering, black letter stickers, many from long island city, queens where there is a lot of industry, often wonder what's in those trucks, it's usually chinese people.
I'm familiar with most of the surrounding areas, 100-150 miles in most directions, it's populated all right, some really nice areas, old farms and other high priced real estate, that years back was not all that different from here, which is about 160-170 miles north, NYC has an influence in a large radius, just look at the diversity of kids in the local schools. This county is the last one in the local area to be exploited by developers, lots of hills, shale and other things that made other areas more attractive to develop first, but they have closed in with a dozen or so proposed developments now. It's tough to keep as agricultural land, with developers pressuring, it's a real shame, because it's really nice ground, crops like hay, corn and others always do well, the hills and views of the hudson valley are beautiful, I like working in the local fields any chance I get, just to enjoy what it is.
Trees in NYC are highly protected by city of new york department of parks officers, whom are full fledged, handgun carrying, ticket issuing royal pains in the asses, especially if summoned by some enviro activist who has nothing better to do, I took 2 of their officers to a jury trial over a darned tree on one of my jobsites. I won the trial, represented myself, no counsel, both officers backed right off, woman judge had no clue, I was well prepared with documentation proving they had no case. It was all over a dead tree, they tried to blame on us for killing, had nothing to do with the 20" high pressure steam line directly under it, cooking the roots ! Idiots - I grabbed a con edison guy working on that street one day, heisted his as-built drawings and made a copy for submission at the trial + photos and other information. The dumba$$ who complained, I found his address in the court paperwork, which I was not supposed to have, I went directly to his apartment building knocked on the door, shoved the trial results in his face and bluntly told him, the next time you call an officer and make a complaint, know what you are talking about, you just wasted the time of several people who are busy working and don't need or have time for this crap.. his jaw dropped to the floor, good day sir !!!!!!! LOL !
Mason contractor supplier picked up some pallets one day, he hit a limb on a tree and broke it off, you should have seen the ensuing, video camera wielding crowd from the adjacent buildings, like the immediate tree response team, come out like insects from the old civil war era brownstones nearby, (was actually a farm before that) they surrounded me, an angry mob gathered over a darned tree branch, had to have a laborer take it into the basement and immediately hack it up with a sawzall, stuff the pieces in a dozen or so different mini trash containers, told the crowd to get off the private property and disperse or I'd call the 10th precinct and have them for illegal assembly, we really got along great with the neighbors on that job, what a miserable bunch of activist types, surprisingly one of em even came from the middle of the country, like Iowa or Nebraska. Trees have more rights than citizens in NYC, they will try to nail you to the wall if you damage one.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
