Summer brings new friends

Image
Summer is here. I have the AC on occasionally, except for the zoom room, which the AC is on all the time I am in there. Since we had so much rain awhile back, the mosquitos are unbearable. I called for air support from a pest killer company. June brings new fawns in this area. We have two new ones in the back yard, learning about the world. There was a nice Pitts Special that showed up at the EAA 690 breakfast this past week. I picked up another traffic control device. I will add an appropriate relay and sell to someone with a man-cave or bar. Wisdomino is certainly keeping me busy. I am a professional networker now. A lot to juggle.

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.
