The garden looks nice and we are taking zuchini out of it today. I am looking at windmills. I recently obtained a bunch of 180 VDC motors that I think may be just the ticket. I am looking at propellers now. They are not that much money these days, made of plastic. They appear to be durable. I am looking at ones about 7 foot in diameter. I read an interesting article on testing your windmill on the front of a car. Seems like a natural job for the jeep.

He went on to say that even looking at his photos, they didn't tell what he was experiencing. We agreed about how strange it was meeting the winter-overs we were taking over for when we got there in October. "They had that weird stare and they talked ok and everything but there was no emotional content to what they were saying". There is a zombie like quality to some people who spend a lot of time on the ice. After a couple of weeks at pole he was medivaced to McMurdo for altitude sickness (there were quite a few this year). It got better and went back to pole. This guy is a ...

I never get sick of taking pics from the air. This pic is over Suwanee, GA at 3100 feet above the ground (AGL). I reminded myself that I need to take an aerial pic of my house and my neighborhood. I will get to it this week or next. The other pic is from my Gazebo this evening after I got back from flying. I have been corresponding with previous owners of the property. They did some great design work.
