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.

Today I am doing masonry work in the milkhouse and fixing the wheel studs on the jeep.

This is one of my favorite pics I took when I was in Antarctica. This is us comms folks coming down from the summit of Mt. Terror to the Helo. The weather was nice on this particular day, but it was quite cold. The helicopter didn't start the first try. It made us all think. We relied on the helo so much. Spending time on this mountain was quite a thrill. The thin air always made us euphoric. We saved the oxygen for the pilot.

I have been performing field trials with my new jeep. It is a lot cheaper than using the tractors, a lot more comfortable too.

It is nice to live around here. Despite the 2 inches of snow this weekend it is very nice. I am accelerating my flight training. I expect to have my private pilot licence this year. I am studying for the written exam and I am also studying for the Certified Information Security Manager(CISM) test in June. Neither of these tests is cheap.
