Back on the farm in Summer

I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck. My 2017 Chevy 3500 HD service truck (with only 31k miles) is not my Tesla. I have grown very accustomed to the Tesla self-driving, navigation and general hi-tech luxury. The truck, although I am very fond of my truck, is stressful and expensive to drive compared to the Tesla. Being on the farm alone has been an eye opener. I had forgotten how quiet and in-nature this place is. Very occasionaly a car or plane comes by and disrupts the void, but only occasionally. It has been very reflective.

"All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone."-- Blaise Pasacal mid 1600s. I guess I am working on humanity's problems. It can take a lot out of you.

We are headed to Rochester for Easter. Rosie is still down, but Bonnie has become a llama whisperer and started giving her Tylenol Arthritus and that has made things a lot better. We will see how she progresses. Was I in Antarctica? It seems so weird at this point. Also I don't think anyone can be *in* antarctica. Being *on* Antarctica seems much more appropriate. Whereas *in* North America is fine since you are immersed in society. There is no society in Antarctica. It is an outpost of a foreign land at best. This is a picture of the dome at Pole. The historic dome will be gone soon. I feel so fortunate to have touched it and been inside.

I have a flying lesson tonight if the weather is ok. I was in Canada night before last. Quite a bit of driving in the last 48 hours. Rosie is still down. We will get her up tonight. We don't know what her problem is. Click pic for video
