I have had a serious of "near zero days" (reference hiking jargon), but I think they mostly just seem like zero days. I am getting stuff done, just not at 100% efficiency. Not sure anyone can move with 100% efficiency... Anyhow, I am planning on starting my next journey on May 1st. -- more details as they unfold. I know what I like and dislike. I know what turns me on and off. It's time for that knowledge to be guidance. We booked a trip to Wyoming/Yellowstone park in a few weeks. It will tackle at least three items that have been on my list 1.) Visit Yellowstone (in winter). 2.) A longish snowmobile trip. 3.) A visit to Wyoming. That will be my 50th state. That will make it all US states, 100 countries and all continents. I will likly be getting involved with MTP (Most Traveled People) https://mtp.travel/ where they break countries into regions. I decided I like this music. DiDuLa - "On the way home"

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...
