I quit the Berkshire Town Planning Board last night. I want to do other things. I am refocusing.

Here is a great article about a drone getting recharged off power lines. Pretty cool.

After much discussion and research we have determined that we have recently returned from above the Arctic Circle. It was close however, the arctic circle is not as fixed as we would like to think. From Wikipedia: as of 30 August 2017, it runs 66°33′46.8″ north of the Equator. We took the following pics at 66 53" 74" N. More pics to follow.

M998 Bought at Auction

It has been nice enjoying the coming on of Spring. The weather has been good, but a bit rainy. No oppressive heat yet. We are booking our summer vacation which is a reattempt of the Balkans trip that Covid thwarted in Dec 2021. It will be a busy trip. I create annual objectives for myself each year and work towards them. I have some cool projects, and new directions. I am generally good at accomplishing them. When I looked at my annual goals yesterday I noticed there was nothing about new vehicles or automotive projects. I am continuing the conversation with myself in regards to why I bought a military Humvee at auction this week. I have been looking and studying the auctions and I found the right deal and I was the successful bidder. The machine was less than 2 hours away and it is already delivered. I have other categories on my objectives that the Humvee crosses into nicely such as spending more time on the farm in NY, and some business goals I have. But after the conversation it...

Spring has sprung in Berkshire. The weather was great Saturday. I riggged up a tractor back-blade on the tractor and it has become a formatible dozer. We took the llamas for nice hike outback. The woods were as beautiful as expected; the buds are getting green and you can still see through the woods. Nothing is hidden by the leaves as it will be in a few months. I got some more sand for the garden and will be turning that in soon. The chickens have been having a great time picking bugs from around the house and letting us have their eggs. I went for a very nice plane ride a few days ago in a Cessna 172. The weather was near perfect. It was possibly one of my best flights ever. My interst in aviation is hightened lately; I was just reading about the DeHaviland Twin Otter aircraft. I am expecting to get a ride in one of these this year. They are 20 seat twin torboprops (Approx. 580 HP each) with a 12,000 lb takeoff weight. They seem to be very rugged and versatile. They are non-presuri...

Well, it is less than 24 hours before I get underway. I am meeting Bill Hackos in Denver Sunday night for dinner. We always have some good conversations, He is a astrophysicist that turned technical communicator guru. Bonnie and I are packing tonight. The way things went at work today I didn't get home from work until 6:30 tonight. The folks had a pizza lunch for me today. I am still stuffed. I figured in the next seven days I will have 28 hours of flight time. Not an incredible amount, but certainly a lot more than usual. This picture shows some folks pulling coaxial radio cable Antarctica style. Photograph by: B.K. Grant, National Science Foundation New Southpole Station Webcam! This has just come on line. You can see the new station that is just getting finished.
