I have had a serious of "near zero days" (reference hiking jargon), but I think they mostly just seem like zero days. I am getting stuff done, just not at 100% efficiency. Not sure anyone can move with 100% efficiency... Anyhow, I am planning on starting my next journey on May 1st. -- more details as they unfold. I know what I like and dislike. I know what turns me on and off. It's time for that knowledge to be guidance. We booked a trip to Wyoming/Yellowstone park in a few weeks. It will tackle at least three items that have been on my list 1.) Visit Yellowstone (in winter). 2.) A longish snowmobile trip. 3.) A visit to Wyoming. That will be my 50th state. That will make it all US states, 100 countries and all continents. I will likly be getting involved with MTP (Most Traveled People) https://mtp.travel/ where they break countries into regions. I decided I like this music. DiDuLa - "On the way home"

I am planning my week. The weather isn't getting off to a good start with quite a bit of snow in the forecast. I have been recovering from a bad cold. That is three illnesses I have had since I got off the ice. Some say it is because my immune system is off since I was in a realitively germ free environment in Antarctica. I am not sure. I don't like being sick. I do have a lot on my mind but that still didn't keep me from doing nothing today. Sitting around doesn't help the self esteem, but it might recharge the batteries sometimes. I had a nice quiet birthday.

Rosey is doing better but can't quite get up on her own. We are giving her homeopathic cures as well as horse asprin. A heat lamp has helped her too. We shall see as it gets warmer out. She has lost some weight so that is good. The chickens are well and have been cruising the farm, but tonight everyone is in lock-down for weather.

I have been staying in touch with folks from the ice. It is a bit like a fraternity. You have some strong common special experiences. One of the folks is (hopefully) going to fly up here in a couple of months. I haven't met him face-to-face, but he was working commercial radio interests on the other side of the continent and we met up on the ham bands.

I have also found a great way to waste time, looking for interesting videos on youtube. Here is one. The story behind the video is that the control surfaces were locked and not-unlocked for flight.

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. Afterwards we had a supplier meeting in Cartersville and a hike up Pine Mountain. https://www.lavacon.org/ 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.

Today we went up in the seaplane in the background. It is a 1956 beaver with a 450 HP 9 cylinder radial engine. It was a bunch of fun.
