A posting by Brent Zappe about moving has caused me to issue this warning. Don't move here.. First it is very cold here. Not just in the winter but in the spring and the summer {the 3 best days of the year here} and as far as the fall goes it could also be included as part of the winter because with the snow and the cold it is nearly impossible to tell the difference. And it does snow here. In fact we do not even call it snow unless it is two years old. While in most places they have a season they call spring we just call it the "mud season" if it warms up enough to thaw some of the ice and snow. To sum it up we just have rotten weather!
Also the people who live here are mean and rude to each other. I never talk over the fence with my neighbor, he lives two miles away, and I have no idea what his name is. If he sees me outside when he drives by he usually gives me the one finger salute. Very friendly guy.
A lot of Amish live around here and they are always stopping their horse in front of my mailbox so that it can relieve itself and leave me a nice pile of fertilizer. When I spoke to one about it he answered in German and waited until his horse dumped me another pile. Nice guy!
The economy here is bad and there are very few jobs. However the land prices are very low . A lot of the farms here sell for under $500 per acre which would be good if you could grow anything. With the Amish their biggest crop seems to be kids. The taxes are very high here because of the poor economy there are not a lot of people who can pay taxes so those who can have the pleasure of paying for all.
Yes we have some good things here to. You can drive your tractor across the road without any danger that someone will run into you and you can drive for miles without meeting another vehicle not counting Amish buggies. And yes you do need to drive for miles to shop but you will not find any long lines in the stores. The hunting and fishing is great but there is not much game just some migrating geese and the occasional stray coyote. Most fishing is done through the ice. You can fish from a boat some years but you always have the danger of sinking your boat by hitting some submerged ice. Most years you can leave your ice fishing shanty on the ice year round although the DEC would like you to take it off the ice for a the few days of summer.
I think there may be some other good things about living here but I can't think of any right now. If you are wondering why I don't just move away from here the best reason is that I am to poor to move and who in their right mind would buy my place. So here I am stuck.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
