Vestry Graduate

I am no longer part of the Vestry at Christ Church Norcross. I served my full term as the Buidings and Grounds liaison. It was three years. There was a lot of items to deal with over the years. But the effort wasn't the work. It was the responsibility and knowing that I wasn't doing enough. I think most people get that feeling with obligations. Maybe not. I am sure the time and responsibility will be quickly reallocated. When I signed on I figured I would learn something. Now I am thinking about what I learned along with the hows and whys.

This weekend there is a large Agricultural equipment show in Atlanta. I spent much of my day there. I didn't buy a tractor, but I am shopping. Should I get the Greene one (Fendt) or the Yellow one (Challenger)? There were a lot of nice machines there and I learned a bunch of stuff. I hope to farm in a few years with some nice new equipment. There is much to learn.

"What the Pho?" What a great name for a Asian Noodle restaurant. It was good. It is a great way to get rid of a cold.

I tried a restaurant the other night down in Atlanta called "6 feet under" It was quite good and reasonable. I have been taking the Atlanta Marta train alot lately. It is nice to be able to veg and not have to worry about the Atlanta traffic. Certainly the most critical aspect of Atlanta is the traffic. You have to plan. I am quiting the fancy health club because the traffic is so bad getting the 4 miles over there. It can take 30 minutes at some times. Crazy.

Things are going great. I have been here 6 months and I am really enjoying it. I am busy that's for sure.

I spoke at the LavaCon this week. My presentation was very well received. There were well over 100 folks who chose to attend my presentation. Afterwards we had a supplier meeting in Cartersville and a hike up Pine Mountain. https://www.lavacon.org/ It was good to enjoy some brief moments with a llama as part of the conference. And it was good to meet up with lots of folks I have got to know over the years.

My truck can sure get dirty this time of year. In my neighborhood we used pulverized shale on the roads to aid traction. It really makes a mess.

Caribbean Trip Christmas 2025

Before this trip I couldn't spell caribbean... It's a weird one. We didn't have a lot of time for this trip as usual. Other things in life besides travel to get done, like work. We planned Punta Cana Dominican Republic, Domenica, and Antigua and Barbuda. Our visit to DR was shortened by a cancelled flight on Liat Airlines. Our first flight on Liat we were at the ticket counter for 3 hours. There were only 3 other passengers on an Embraer 145 which holds 50. We learned in Dominica that Liat is short for "Leave Island Another Time". Or as I used my very limited Russian swearing vocaulary "Blyat" or "блядь". You can hear this word many times watching car crashes in Russia on Youtube. It is normally compounded with many other intensifiers. Of the three countries we liked Domenica best. It reminds me of Maui without all the tourism and people. Parts of the island might be the densest jungle I've seen. This pic is a improptu ...

Google News I will be moving my server host soon. The place I am using now could screw up anything. That is the reason I have not posted anything (seemingly) for quite some time. The name of the crapper server hosting company is IQuest Hosting. They just plain stink. They bought out the service I was using. Now because of their screw ups I am moving.
