Summer in Duluth GA

Angie and I took the sports car to one of the many parks in Gwinnett county to walk. We saw signs for "free food / Comida". Being that I am always up for a snack, I decided to see if I could get some. Sure enough, they are handing out Breakfast and Lunch kits. We got a "lunch" and ate it in the park. I was pleased that there was no political literature in the bag only the normal commercial stuff for the products and the company that assesmbled the kits. It was a weird expereince. I have no idea of who these meals were intended for. I entered the Humvee in the Duluth car show. That was fun. It actually won second place in the "pickup" category. Car shows are like that.. somewhat self-congratulating. We signed up for drone home delivery. Although it is very unlikely we will ever use it. This squirrel was particularly tenacious on the feeder. I am sure the birds saw it as a spectacle. The bobcat came in quite handy this week, both for some str...
Ball Lightning I gave some friends some crap tonight. I loaded up the trucks with some llama pellets. It makes great low nitrogen, no smell garden fertilizer. The llamas feel compelled to continue to manufacture more on a daily basis. I like our farm. It is quiet. I enjoy broken things. It is easier to enjoy them that way.

Pigs CAN fly Below is a pic of my fleet of second or fifth hand machines for screwing around on my farm. First we have my latest aquire of a 1986 Toyota 4 rumnner with only 380000 miles. It is a convertible. It runs great and the 4wd drive works. It is my spare lot car. Second is my jeep with only 288000 miles. Notice the tires are from mobile irrigation machinery. The strength of the sidewall will hold the vehicle up with no air in them. The tires were only 50 bucks a piece since they are industrial tires not testonerone-hungry racer mudder tires for wayward boys. The jeep has acquired some dents in my ownership. The famous quote "what do you expect you think it is a tank" comes to mind. Thirdly we have my Model 632 bobcat. It has a 4 cylinder ford gasoline engine. It runs ok and if has no hydraulic leaks. I don't know what I did before I had a bobcat. I had to lift stuff, man. Fourthly.. you can see the crown jewel of the fleet, my germany made Holder c500 tractor. ...

Physicists Build Nano Motor Small motors indeed. Douglas brought down my new toyota 4 runner today. I didn't need another lot car but the price was right. I will have a spare. It is shown below high centered after comparing how the jeep did in similar experiments. We had to use the bobcat to lift the machines off the dirt pile. We found the machines similar in this test although the 4 runner has a higher ground clearance, the jeep has a shorter wheelbase. A man cannot just sit around.
dogpoweredscooter I need a llama powered scooter like one of these dog powered scooters. What will they think of next.
