I do like the outdoors and nature. I dont like the naive view. I like the real thing. Sometimes it can be scary and sometimes it hurts. I still like nature. I like wilderness. Camping in North Georgia is quite nice. There is a alot going on as usual, at work and at home. I think I am going to sell the humvee. I dont need 5 cars. I have some more work to do to it, but after I get what I have planned done. Its gonna hit the road. It will still take me awhile with my current level of productivity and the number of projects I have in flight. I will be up in NY again soon probably and I have travel plans currently to Maine, New Hampshire and Japan. I am making vacation plans mostly in the Caribbean.

It is time to relinquish the outdoors to nature for the duration. I am taking Tuesday off. The to-do list is still long. Adding to it is that I have a really nice maple that fell down out back. It looks like lumber to me ($). There is a sub-species of hard maple that only grows in this area. The veneer grade logs are the most valuable timber around. Let's see how it goes. Besides the lumber I have tractor work, firewood and getting the solar system installed among my list of unfinished Summer projects. Jeff (Squid), DJ and I worked on DJ's pole barn moving four of the posts to their proper location. DJ gets to run her backhoe. I get to lift stuff and use the shovel.
