4th of July - Camping, Deer Babies, Wake Boarding

We have had a new resident. Actually there several new residents. A deer decided to have her kids in the back yard. They are here often. I can see them from my Zoom Room, so I apologize if I seem a little distracted sometimes when I am on a video call. We went canoeing and camping in South Carolina. We were exploring without a lot of planning, so you get what you expect- adventure and discovery. We stopped by the Tallulah Gorge lookout. When I rode my motorcycle through the area in the early 80's, I vowed I would come back. And I have come back-- again. I ate my traditional moon pie there as well. The Tesla is a great camper. Charge the battery, run the AC and enjoy the filtered ventilated with a nice entertainment system. Crazy. The paddleing wasnt that good. We found ourselves in Lake Keowee. The camp ground was good if you speak Spanish, and only enjoy power sports on small boats. I am a bit disturbed by the new trend of wake boarding. Instead of skiing being towed by a ro...

I decided not to buy the plane. Maybe next time. It was a good exercise visualizing myself as a aircraft owner. I have decided not to buy anything else that uses gas for a while. I have a lesson Thursday night. Instead, I am getting the solar hot water system built and installed. The electric car is still in process. I will be mowing my main hay field this week (17 acres) for the first time this year. So far this year I have mowed about 7 acres with the big mower. I have a lot more to do. I sold my truck camper and I am trying to sell a bunch of other stuff too. The chicks are growing. They are fun.

I am thinking about buying this plane. They hold their value well and it would really help me get my license faster. The things holding me back are I had a boat before and know how these things can own you back when you think you own them. Also, there is some expense. Is it something I need? It is a great deal.

This time of year is always overwhelming. There is so much to do. I hope to get back in the air soon. It has been a while. I got a line on a nice C-150 airplane. I am tempted to buy it. I am getting in the groove with new routines and making sure I don't slip into depression. I haven't been depressed and I don't have a history of it, but I want to make sure. Life changes can be pretty big. I still can't get DSL at the house. I contacted the phone company engineering manager for the area and bitched at him for a while.

I have been neglecting my blog. I apoligize. Spring is always a busy time of year and I have not been writing "blog" on my 3x5 index card to-do-lists. The chicks are bigger. I am going to put a few in the freezer as soon as I find out which ones are roosters. The llamas are well. I went to an auction this past weekend. It was a bit of extravaganze to spend the time but it was worth it. It was one of those poorer-than-dirt farmer folks who croaked and they were liquidating. There was quite a collection of stuff. The deceased was characterized as "independent". Interesting enough, the farm was about 1/4 mile away from the birthplace of John D. Rockefeller. Quite a contrast. I bought a few odds and ends and a running rear for a hay wagon. I have been looking for years. I will be picking it up tonight.
