LavaCon 2025

Image
I spoke at the LavaCon this week. My presentation was very well received. There were well over 100 folks who chose to attend my presentation. It was good to enjoy some brief moments with a llama as part of the conference. And it was good to meet up with lots of folks I have got to know over the years.

I mowed some with the tractor and fixed the mower (same thing). I also found a couple of photo opportunities. The way I hear things, it is pretty much assumed that lenticular clouds are only a problem for western or mountain state private pilots. I have seen great examples of lenticular clouds here in Berkshire, NY on occasion. These "Flying Saucer" clouds are notorious for extreme wind shear if you decide as a pilot to venture into one. These lenticular clouds in our area form fast and dissipate faster than I can get the camera loaded and focused. It doesn't mean they are not there. More info 1 More info 2
Someone asked me the other day why I didn't properly edit my blog posts. I am not sure exactly. I am certainly capable. I can correct the grammar, spelling, tense and all the other maladies of the discourse. I guess it has to do with priorities. Folks can figure out the high points and I am not strapped to the 2 by 5 inch notepad-like text editing pane of a blogging window. Perhaps I am rationalizing laziness. Blogging has been fun for the last 6 years. I do regret however, missing the early years after moving to Greene. That was a tough time and a time of adjustment, a perfect time for blogging. Unusual for me, I have a bit of a tickle in my throat this morning. I am taking it easy for a couple of hours with my neti pot , and tea with honey/lemon. I will be all set. Then I will be off looking for some photos to take.

Just one word... plastic. I can't wait to see who installs this expensive fencing. I have 102 holes to drill and 2400 linear feet of rail to install. This might take all of Saturday. It may take part of Sunday.
