Nature -- Deer and Butterfly

I do like the outdoors and nature. I dont like the naive view. I like the real thing. Sometimes it can be scary and sometimes it hurts. I still like nature. I like wilderness. Camping in North Georgia is quite nice. There is a alot going on as usual, at work and at home. I think I am going to sell the humvee. I dont need 5 cars. I have some more work to do to it, but after I get what I have planned done. Its gonna hit the road. It will still take me awhile with my current level of productivity and the number of projects I have in flight. I will be up in NY again soon probably and I have travel plans currently to Maine, New Hampshire and Japan. I am making vacation plans mostly in the Caribbean. That is the push to get us over 100 Countries. I also still have to get to Wyoming, to finish off the 50 US states. I did yard work today. Mostly weeding before it got hot out, but also grading. I ran the Bobcat after the dirt settled more around the house as part of the drain/vents I had p...

I am buying a new truck. I am pretty close on figuring out which one. It will be a duramax diesel with the 5 speed allison automatic I know for sure. Where I am getting it from and whether I am getting the dump trailer is not so sure.

The class I am taking (Financial Management) is demanding. I am going to have to really knuckle down.

It has been as cold as 26 below zero the last few days around here. It hasn't got that cold at the house, but when I went into work the other day it was so cold your lungs hurt when you breathed in. The diesel starts fine if you remember to plug it in the night before. The llamas don't care for the cold. The heater keeps their house about 25 degrees warmer than the outside temp. These temps are tough on the animals no doubt. I know after last year I would never think of cold temperatures the same again. The animals are just at the mercy of their owners and the temperature.

We got one of the GE radios working on the desired frequency the other day! Duane is working on wiring up some more of them. I am thinking some some mods we may want to do at this milestone. I am planning on going to the Dayton hamvention this coming year. I have to start making arrangements.

I got new glasses. This is the first time I have had "progressive lenses" (bifocals). I am now a recovering presbyopia aflictee. It has been a huge help. I have been really struggling the past 6 months or so. I can see so much better now. I have had them one day and I feel I am almost totally used to the bizarre head movements you need to make to see things.

tomorrow I get on the roof to clean the chimney.
