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.

I am thinking about buying this plane. They hold their value well and it would really help me get my license faster.

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.
