We are back from a quick vacation. I managed to score three (actually several more) bucket list items in 4 days. 1.) Long Snowmobile Trip. 2.) Yellowstone Park and 3.) Wyoming. I reached my 50th State --Wyoming! And we took a 90 mile snowmobile trip in Yellowstone National Park. We went to the "Craters of the Moon--National Monument and Preserve" in Idaho and also stopped at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) where I got to see (with my own eyes) the very cool nuclear powered twin turbojet engine. It was a successful experiment in the 1950s and 1960s. https://whatisnuclear.com/safety-minutes/htre-3-meltdown.html Of course, I had my Radiacode scintillation detector with me and yes, the apparatus is "Hot". The screenshot of the readings from my three walk-arounds the artifact. I swear you could smell the radiation. There was a very un-natural burnt smell something reminiscent of burned bakelite. Although, I am quite certain the emitted radition was not the source...

There is a lot to plan. It is all about lists. I started searching through my own blog (certain that I had blogged about the concept earlier) about the principle of lists. I didn't find it. Classification starts as lists. Plain and simple. The "list" is probably a fundamental of all civilization. There are two types of people. 1. Those who make lists. 2. Those who don't. Which one am I? Planning for a suitable tenant(s) and deciding what (if any) NY property to sell is important. Looking at property to live in in Georgia is downright fun. DJ's business is of course a focus of attention. Once you have started a business or two it can be a bit addictive. There was some interesting valley fog the other day (the next valley over). I thought it was a bit striking. I also noticed a noon-time 360 degrees sun-parahelia (rare). I will be traveling a lot for a while. I am drinking from the fire hose.
