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"

Today I managed to fit in a dealer visit. My guide was great. Not only is he a pilot he was also an Antarctican. He was involved for years with the British Antarctica survey at Rothera Station. We had some great discussion. It has been a week of Antarctica in Europe. My workload is very high, but there are worthwhile tidbits. I am adjusting to driving in England. Every mile breeds competence and confidence.

I think I may be growing new taste buds here in France. The food has been great of course. I also had another treat. The Massey Ferguson Museum at the plant has the original lead tractor "Sue" that Sir Edmond Hillary used on his drive to the South Pole. I had seen pictures and had read about it. It was totally unexpected to see it there. It was good. I met one of the original members of the team that made that famous third traverse to the pole when I was on the ice. It must have been a good tractor. http://www.fofh.co.uk/articles/pole.htm Tonight I am in England where the tractor was made.

It figures the day I am set to leave for two weeks in Europe the US puts a alert up for Americans in Europe. I will be ok. If not, my will is on my blog. Saved, not published. This place on Buford Highway caught my eye. I finally had time to stop and take a photo. I was in the market for new tires. Of course I was thinking of IFY tires. I can't make this stuff up.
