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. 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. After I go through it and getting if working I will tow it up to the farm in NY. I wasn't prepared for a tractor pic...

I broke my new kodak digital camera. What a drag. It didn't take much. I got it for 80 bucks but still. The LCD got broke somehow. Renning's Maxim: Man is the highest animal. Man does the classifying.

Man, it has been a while since I blogged. Here is a good one to get started again. -------You opened it, so you believe in it too. Something good will happen to you between 12:00 pm and 9:00 pm tomorrow. No catch. It could happen anywhere or anytime; you will fix your relationship problems for the next 2 years, maybe it was someone you once loved (or still do) and can't get them out of your mind, or money, or something you lost, or just someone that's given you a helping hand. To spread the positive karma, re-post this in another city in the next 10 minutes. You will get the shock of your life tomorrow. I believe. I hope you do too. What do you have to lose?go

I have had the flu. I went in the walk-in clinic and they said they would call me if I have the Swine flu. They haven't called. Last weekend I helped DJ's Dad do a little demo on his barn. Time to replace some block now. Here is a youtube of the wall coming down.

It seems like it has been raining a little bit everyday. The plane is in the shop with a bad cylinder. I am getting itchy to fly again. The Binghamton airshow is really large this year. The Blue Angles are here and all that. I will be watching from the house. I don't really care for the large airshows. The smaller ones are nicer, not all the crowds, prices and hassle. My camera is damaged. It was in my pocket and a piece of metal flew up that I was working with and it struck me in the groin and got the camera LCD screen as well. I am not sure which got the worst of it. Time for a new camera. I bought that camera about three years ago. I can get something a lot better now for less money. I remember buying a Sony Mavica years ago (1999) for 600 bucks. I planned to have the 1-megapixel camera for 10 years. It just doesn't work that way. 5 years is about it before new features and performance render things obsolete. We experienced yet some more rainbows. Look closely and you ca...
