I can't speak for the local economy, since I've been "laid off" for over a year. My sister and her husband have worked for the last several years as plumbers for a contractor in Eagle, CO [and yes, sometimes that does conjure up mental pictures of the Monroe Bros. on "Green Acres"]. Over the past 10 years, they've never had any money worries, doing all new-construction work on multim illion dollar homes. This year, they're barely getting by.
They have a job that keeps getting pushed back, on a 10,000 sf home...first it was gonna start in May...then July....now they're saying October. Weather's gonna kill 'em if it gets put off much longer.

It's de facto age discrimination, but because it has to do with insurance rates rather than just age, they apparently can get by with it.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
