Back South Again with More Projects

A lot of driving. I have forgotten how much driving is involved when on the farm. Everything is far. But I also had to drive up and back twice to Syracuse to pickup/drop off Angie at the airport and a business meeting for Wisdomino in Albany. Yeah it was a lot of driving for me. All and all it was about 4000 miles in three weeks. Early in the morning I decided to check out some auctions (dangerous). I ended up being high bidder on a 2015 New Holland Boomer 33 ( "hours unknown, does not run, may have problems, no key, no battery" ) from the State of Tennessee. I figured I could swing by Nashville and pick it up on the way to Georgia. And indeed I did. It was only a couple of hours extra, maybe 4. But, it was more efficient than going to Georgia and then back and forth to Nashville. Nashville is about 4 hours from Duluth. So I was looking at a 4 hour savings. After I go through it and getting if working I will tow it up to the farm in NY. I wasn't prepared for a trac...
Smithville day I ran 25:45 in the 2006 Smithville 5k. I was a bit off my plan of 24:30. I could blame it on a multitude of things, but it was all me. Running like this is not a team effort. I feel good about my improvement from last year and the accomplishment of my goal. I suspect next year I will do better.

I am about to go run the 5k over in Smithville. The Tioga cat decided he wanted to be in a photo this morning.

I sneaked up on some deer this morning before work. I am running the Smithville 5k tomorrow morning. I expect to finish in 24 minutes 30 seconds. I am picking up the post hole digger tonight. Hopefully, I can get it working this time and get some holes drilled. The llamas will appreciate the grass the deer were enjoying this morning. It is a weird juxtaposition between the deer and the llamas. They are curious about each other. Both the deer and the llamas are limited by a fence. Click pic for video
