Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.
LiquidSOLAR.diesel conversion I think I may convert my truck to run on used fryer grease. It is reported only to have the side effoect of an occasional craving for french fries. These guys are in Ithaca.
random.org - heads or tails service The random service above seems pretty good. You need to beware anytime something around a computer claims to be random. Computers are many things and random is about the only thing they are not. Johnson noise or other atmospheric type noise are believed to be the only true random events we can use for this purpose.
BLOGGER I am at work and I again have started to realize how powerful and easy blogging is. I just went through my archives, it is intersting to look back that is for sure. Things that bothered me then may not now and the other way around.
