I'm currently working in Cape Vincent, NY. We're working on a project that needs to be done due to a smattering of wind turbines that will be placed in the northwestern corner of upstate New York. The official record states that the new turbines should provide enough power annually to provide electricity for around 45,000 households in the state. ( Read more... )

I've got an entire week off! Today I spent a few hours on a four-wheeler behind my dad's house, very fun! Later this week, I'm going to spend a few days in Adirondack Park ( Read more... )
