Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

Stressors of late have been cumulative. I discovered some fraudulent charges on one of my accounts, my foot, and work. The pain in my foot was really bad the night before last. Today it is much better. I expect to be off the crutches in the next couple of days. I won't be running anytime soon though. All in all I am doing pretty well.
 
 
What was up with Google having Morse code on the splash page today? Morse code is of course not a written language. It is an audio language. It should have been displayed as "DAH DAH DIT   DAH DAH DAH   DAH DAH DAH   DAH DAH DIT   DIT DAH DIT DIT   DIT"

The weather was too bad to get in the air in the Atlanta area for VFR. I am going up Wednesday evening. I am not doing much traveling this month. It is a bit weird. Saturday I had breakfast with a Flight Instructor for Delta, saw a presentation from an expert Cave Diver, then an Aviation safety seminar and then to look at the "Liberty Belle B-17". These war birds are impressive thinking that there were half a dozen kids crammed into these things trying to kill the enemy. A lot of bravery was needed that's for sure. I have a hard enough time without someone shooting at me. I will be going for a ride in the yellow open-cockpit plane in a couple of weeks.

Gwinnett County (Stone Mountain) Hamfest 2026

I took the Humvee and a load of radio equipment to the Hamfest. It's always fun talking with other electronics enthusiast, amateur radio operators and whoever else is wandering around the flea market. I sold a number of things, of course, but the getting out, meeting folks and discussing very esoteric technical items is the real prize. We are not alone.
