It sure beats shoveling though. I am rushing to get this job done as I am way behind on firewood detail since the scraping lifestyle has possessed me. My goal is to get the low test wood pile sawed up next week and then get my high test pile out of the bush by hunting season. I know that November seems like a while still, but there is a whole pile of minor construction projects that need to get done before winter as well.
- On Sunday Annie, Emma and I went to her parents farm to eat. There is a really good view of Covey Hill, Lyon Mountain, and the Adirondacks. On Covey Hill-near Chateauguay, NY-there are now 19 power generating windmills that have been erected; they are visible with the naked eye. Apparently there will be 125 altogether. You can also see the enormous cranes that are being used to put them up. I'm not sure what I think about the windmills. On the one hand I am happy to see alternative energy sources being used, but on the other hand they are quite an eyesore. An interesting fact about the energy produced: 22 to 34 turbines will produce as much electricity as about 1.5 million gallons of oil a year. It would be nice to eventually tell the MFers to choke on their oil.
