October and already the leaves are fading away in the Adirondacks. πŸ‚ Most shocking to me is that we are less then a month away from November, which in many ways should be a sigh of relief with the craziness of work and with the deep blue skies and crisp days of that month.

March Day at the Off-Grid Cabin

March has arrived at the cabin. These are the final days of winter and it's good to just enjoy your time in the north woods. Hang out with me today while I do a quick fix to the snow blower on the tractor and I'll show you what happened to my ATV. Then we'll get some wood in and throw something on the grill at the end of the day.

Crouse Hinds PCE-3000 Traffic Controller- Dials And Cams – YouTube.

Albany has a lot of the circa-1950 Crounse-Hinds of Syracuse Traffic Signals and controllers. Quite reliable, they don't always work properly in cold weather.

The controllers (shown in this video) are prone to malfunctioning in cold weather due to the grease binding up and causing 5 minute yellow lights and 20 minute red lights.

Here is some of the old traffic signals, as shown on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jryVhVsYV_s
