Dan,
The apple tree I am trying to save. It was being choked by some invasive vine.
So you have to know that every Chinese household has a meat cleaver, so I used that to chop down the vine. I have to buy some heavy pruning shears because these vines can be up to 2 inches thick.
I love the tree because it is all knarly.
I pretty much need the physical exercise. I need to maintain the tough guy from Brooklyn build that my old landlord mentioned when he called me a "Scary guy."
Also it is my heritage. We built railroads, we built great fortifications...
I'm looking forward to terracing beyond the back-backyard by the frog ghetto.
As for Bee's I am germinating a butterfly garden and I expect that too will draw bee's.
I'm south of 140 pounds I expect and at 5'10" that means I'm a skinny bitch, but I have abs and the three fingers on each side that are like Bruce Lee's build. He was only 5'8".

MFM,
They have a store in White Plains so I will pick up not only that hose, but also a Greenwood Spray nozzle. You can't beat the pricing.
I'm also looking into buying scaffolding, but it may not fit in the Audi.
I have these lab jacks that I think could be improvised into a sheet rock lift.
The scaffolding has legs for when I put a new roof on the garage and for other projects.
I'm off to pricing wheel barrows. Got to see if Harbor Freight has them.
Never thought playing house could be so much fun.

Much better than a wheel barrow is a cart/wagon that can handle 1,000 pounds. $79.00.

The noise from the "Frog-Ghetto" has calmed down as the
Spring Peepers that are about the size of a dime have had their annual spring orgy.
My hill-billy neighbor now tells me that soon over the next few weeks the tree frogs will emerge and that somehow they are worse than the Spring Peepers.
This is pretty hard to imagine.
My trip to Harbor Freight was good, but the scaffolding I wanted was sold out as well as the 1000 pound cart. You snooze you loose. I lost out on the sidewalk sale, but somehow I was able to get a rain check for the scaffolding.
Generally they don't give out rain checks on sale items, but the manager did. I have 30 days to save $50.00. Also know that the scaffolding won't fit in the Audi anyways, so I will have to get a truck, or ask for a favor.
Saturday we shot a video in the back yard for some paid content. This vocal bird was hamming it up and was yammering away whenever I hit record.
The next two days there is nothing scheduled so I'm taking off to break concrete and do other things. I started cutting back the jungle vines. Some vines are 2 inches thick.
The Rode-A-Den-DRUMs are perking up from the Miracle Grow feeding. Pretty much the soil is a bit depleted, and needs more organic matter, and compost. The yellow leaves are greening.
Out of 8 seeds I have 7 Vietnamese pepper seedlings growing in a jar, but instead of thinning out the seedlings I think I will break the jar and transplant all 7 into a large wide pot when the seedlings get more developed and are more durable.
More and more it seems that the basement will just be for storage, and that the garage will get a more elaborate build up into a work/studio space.

We visited "Maggie's" mom who lives in a nursing home. Because of Covid it has been hard to visit due to all the lockdowns and pauses.
Helen is 94 and will be 95 shortly.
Easy to see with more education and income how Maggie and I will exceed 100. My dad lived till 94, had a brutal life, was poor, and had no education and was illiterate.
So for me (us) it is all about quality of life and how to sustain it.
After the mom visit I went to Maggie's sister's house not far away in Westchester to pick up a Concept 2 rowing machine.
Back over 15 years ago I bought this rowing machine which for is an ERG (Ergonometer) for $300.00 used from some PhD who paid north of $1K which was a lot of money back then. Pretty much the US Olympic team used the same rowing machine to train on, and the thing with an ERG is that it is great for strength as well as aerobic training depending on how you use it.
Understand that the harder you pull the more the resistance increases, and that rowing uses more muscle groups than say cycling.
I use to do intervals and also would row for at times an hour. Many people don't like rowing, because one sweats up a storm, and the workouts are too intense for many, but as a cyclist "pain and discomfort are just feelings."
Today there is a concept 3 rower that is more computer and WiFi enhanced, but pretty much its the same ERG that today cost many thousands.
The forensics are that I first bought the Concept 2 when I lived in Williamsburg and lived in a loft that formally back in the 1800's was a burlap bag factory; then we moved to Long Island City; and when we moved to Madhattan and dowsized I gave away the Concept 2 to Maggie's brother.
A decade passes, and I inquire if John still has it and if he uses it, but I learn it was passed on yet again to his sister (also Maggie's sister) who has it in her gym. Know that Patty is a licensed professional trainer and you would not think that she has had 4 kids.
Patty and her husband are downsizing and just sold their house, and pretty much that is how I got my old rowing machine back.
So if I can row 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes or more and do some interval training pretty much I should recover all I have lost with Covid and get back to the conditioning I had when I ran the NYC Marathon "Off the couch" as my friend Scot Nicole said, who is the President of IBIS.
When I ran the NYC Marathon I was 49 years old and pretty much had one full day to get ready, I had not trained for the event, yet I completed it in just under 5 hours.
I find it remarkable that somehow this rowing machine has come home to roost and serve me again. Seems like divine intervention is to keep fit and independent.
Pretty remarkble.
Also know that the ERG breaks down into two parts and does not take up a lot of space.

My new noisy neighbors are Eastern Grey Frogs.
They have a "trill" to their screeching, and from the recordings I heard I don't think my neighbor was exaggerating that they are louder.
I think what made the Spring Peepers so loud is not only their mating, but also because of their numbers. Likely millions of them. My back-backyard sounder like a full stadium and the home team just scored a goal.

Read the IBIS stories quite a while ago. I do miss the mountains and it's been already 3-4 years since I last biked up there. The stories remind me to keep our family house in location. Surrounded by 300-500ft prominent mountains and trails heading up there, climb climb is easy to find.
Moving to a more urban landscape and working do not help MTB much. I am still half a year off until I get my new apartment, but am full of ideas. The city central location won't help mountain biking, but anyways I do not pass by the forest often nowadays. Much more of a gravel biker currently, Scandinavian plains do not have mountains.
As of scars, I did not crash again after a stupid over the bars accident that costed a teeth and a lip scar. But will take into account how good of a conversation starter it is.

Bob,
Dickey Brook which drains all the lakes and ponds in the 1500 acre Blue Mountain Preserve runs right behind my "back-backyard."
Over the past two days I have been doing lots of landscaping, and since I removed a lot of dead overgrowth and jungle vines I can also see that there is a small pool that perhaps is too small and shallow to call a pond that is part of Dickey Brook.
Of course Dickey Brook feeds into the Mighty Hudson River.

Jorde,
In one of my crashes my bike was doing cartwheels as I tucked and rolled.
If it were not for my bike helmet a chain ring would of likely sliced off my ear.
My helmet displayed a chain ring scar. My front teeth were loose from that crash.

Two nights ago I installed these Fender Custom Shop 51 NoCaster pickups into this Tele that has a black Korina body and rosewood neck, and yesterday I plugged it in to make some noise.
The pickups I removed were of higher output, but the sound was overly thick, muddy and thuddy lacking chime and the touch sensitivity I love.
So now this guitar is pretty wonderful.
I do take note though that I own two other 51 NoCaster bridge pickups, and somehow these newer versions make me question what happened to the Q.C. at Fender because the cover on the neck pickup has sloppy bent tabs, and the protective string wound around the bobbin on the bridge pickup has mucho gaps and is also sloppy.
My guess is that these irregularities might run deeper, but the pickups sound great.
Back in the 40's and 50's at Fender there was a vast amount of sample variation, a lack of consistency, and constant changes. In other words mucho sloppy.
If you play Fenders you got to love the variation. Almost like each one is a custom guitar or amp. Almost like having many cameras.
I have to rethink and replant that Raspberry bush. I dug in and found out how invasive they can be. They can propagate and spread really fast.
Pretty much you have to contain and restrain the roots and shoots or else they spread and take over.
I have three different kinds of Blue Berries: one is a tree, another a bush, and I'm not sure what the third is yet.
I bought a garden wagon with 4 wheels that is rated for up to 800 pounds. I'll use this to transport the broken concrete into the beyond the back-backyard as clean fill.
Lately I have been reclaiming these Amazon folding containers that I find abandoned around Manhattan by the Amazon delivery dudes.
Don't tell Jeff Bezos.
They are mighty handy for recycling newspapers, cardboard, mulching and the like.
Today I found a pristine one just outside of work. I love it.

Tuesday I took off of work, as well as Wednesday, but on Tuesday I saw this amazing event: a meet-up of red tail hawks.
It started out with just one hawk, which is not unusual to see, but then another roe a thermal to join in. The circled each other as if doing a square dance, and then another red tail hawk, and then another...
Pretty soon there was a dozen, and then a few more joined in. I tried to count them all several times and got 15-16. Hard to tell because of the swarming and circling.
All this was occurring over the frog pond and swampy bog on Dickey Brook that I could see from my Back-Backyard.
Once I witnessed a similar event occur on 96th Street and Second Avenue in Madhatten but it was only with about 8 Red Tail Hawks. They came together, circled each other to say hello, and then broke off going their separate ways as suddenly as they accumulated, as if just to say hello.
Anyways, I wanted to share a beautiful experience.
Somehow my cultural heritage of building fortifications and infrastructure is taking root. The challenges of building and creating has set off something rather primal that is innate. In a ways like a grand regression to being like a small child again with a sense of wonder.
I'm finding that I am still a clever and thoughtful child living in a world of possibilities.
Children do not differentiate between work and play, and I am finding myself in that same space. Meanwhile I sweat out any salt accumulation and my upper body is looking might ripped. "Maggie" thinks I am looking scrawny, but I understand and know my body.

Saturday I used my garden wagon to move broken concrete from my first backyard into beyond my back-backyard via my dead end entrance.
A surprise is that the beyond the back-backyard our property extends out 36 feet and not 26 feet so we kinda have a third backyard, plus what I can annex from the dead-end.
We also went to a mason supply in Peekskill to get quotes on pavers and Flagstone. Flagstone wins to build out a 400 square foot patio in the first backyard.
The top soil layer that needs to be removed has a depth of 10 inches, and the amount of sand I will need to set the Flagstone is 9 cubic yards. This is not a small amount of material, and of course this top soil level lacks organic matter and is basically clay.
This top soil along with the broken concrete is turning out to be considerable amount of clean fill. So in my cultural heritage is building really huge fortifications like the Great Wall, and similarly I'm building out and establishing a bound-ER-ry.
I used a 30 gallon galvanized tub to restrain/constrain the Raspberry bush from taking over the entire neighborhood, and I also planted a blueberry bush, and a blueberry tree.
I have and other blueberry something, but I think it is neither a bush or tree, and I might just plant it along the fence of the back-backyard so the fence can be utilized as a trellis of sorts, otherwise it would grow to be ground cover.
In the front yard lawn are seedings from a Japanese Maple. A push lawn mower from "Friskars" was delivered today, but before I mow my lawn I want to rescue all these seedlings. I think it could be spectacular to set up a grove of Japanese Maples by the frog ghetto.
Sunday we went to Beacon to go to their Flea Market. "Maggie bought a Christian Dior scarf fro perhaps the 80's that was unused and with the original packaging for $5.00. She did a search on EBAY and a similar one with the packaging and unused had a BIN of $362.00. This is like one of those items from an episode of "The Antique Road Show."
I bought this clear glass vase that was recovered from some grand old hotel that is from the 1920's. What I liked about it was that it is mucho oversized and some might call it a "Monster Vase." because of its scale.
Maggie yelled at me, "Why are you buying that?" and I responded by saying so I can lend it to you to display the massive amount of Peonies that are growing in our back-backyard. Also because if I tried to find another one it would be likely impossible.
The price was $55.00, but the vendor dropped the price to $50.00 without me asking or bargaining.
Beacon has no shortage of Brooklynites or hipsters from Brooklyn. It seems lots of the small businesses migrated to the eastern part of Main Street by the Mill House.
The western part of Main Street closer to Metro North which use to be the most developed section seems to have gotten left behind. What a difference a year makes.
A tea shop relocated from Brooklyn was joined by many others. No vacant storefronts on the east end of Main Street anymore.
At the flea market I met Lisa a street photographer who recently fled Brooklyn due to Covid. We talked about for street shooting how perhaps the only game in town might be Newburgh just across the river. She approached me because I was shooting my Monochrom.
Then separately I was taking some shots on Main Street while Maggie was trying to get a Chai Latte with almond milk, evidently nut milks are not popular in Beacon, that I saw this rather tall hipster looking over me.
When I looked up he asked about my camera and then I learned that he was part of a film crew working on a feature film in Beacon. He was fro Paris France and was able to work due to a student visa. BTW he lives in Brooklyn.
Like I said, "No shortage of hipsters from Brooklyn."
So my odd looks, or my standing out, works in the suburbs also. So far I have not drawn out any crazies yet.

Dan,
My neighbor says he recorded a fox on a motion cam a while back, but he saw one day that it had gotten "pan-caked" on Route 9.
He also knows there are Coyotes, and I asked him how he could tell Coyote feces from a dog's he said, "Coyote feces have hair in them."
I think the racoon I saw one morning on my way to work is now dead. I saw him stiff in a gutter right by the street grating where we stared at each other one morning in the darkness.
There seems to have been some cross breeding between Wolves and Coyotes. These new hybrids are said to be in the Bronx and on Long Island.
In Beacon the deer can be seen throughout the day. Generally they are active dawn, dusk and at night.
