Nature -- Deer and Butterfly

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. That is the push to get us over 100 Countries. I also still have to get to Wyoming, to finish off the 50 US states. I did yard work today. Mostly weeding before it got hot out, but also grading. I ran the Bobcat after the dirt settled more around the house as part of the drain/vents I had p...

Sunday was a full day. I started off deer hunting and sending Greg and Sandy on their way (unfortunately we didn't get any deer). It was around zero degrees out there in the woods. It is very easy to get cold when you are sitting very still. Then it was off to my combination flying lesson. My mentor received instrument instruction doing VOR approaches (under the hood) to Oneonta and Sidney NY. I was in the back seat. In Sidney we gassed up the plane and I flew it back to Greene with my mentor in the back seat. It was a lot of fun and fellowship. Then I worked out and went shopping. The video is our soft field takeoff out of Greene. There was about 4 inches of snow on the runway.

I didn't get a deer yet. Greg and I went out Saturday and Sunday morning. We got a glimpse of a couple. We learn more everytime. Being out in the wood sis so nice at sunrise. It has been hovering around zero degrees out there both mornings. Staying warm while sitting perfectly still can be a challenge, but if you dress for it it can be done. I am very disappointed by the other deer hunter tracks we have found. There is absolutely no regard for the property being posted. Absolutely none. I am taking action, cool and collected. I will be making an example of these guys when I catch them. I will proscecute to the maximum level. Word will start getting around then. Just like most form projects, it is a multiyear effort. I sold my nice log. I only got 85 bucks for it. It was worth 60 as firewood. That was a disappointment too. I am thinking I am going to but the sawmill soon. I need beams for the addition. It is the think to do. I am looking for tire changers on ebay too. I am so ti...
