This Saturday is looking like a fun aviation-packed day. My non-planned attempts at adventure last weekend were disappointing. Although, everybody made it to work Monday OK and no animals were harmed, best I can tell.

Work is very busy being in the office. There enough is reason to travel. I am planning, some exciting stuff coming up in the next couple of months.

Here is a pic of Nostril and his son Eric on the Berkshire farm in NY on one of Eric's first visits to the US from Japan in 2002.

New Job, New Car and Always New Experiences

We took the new Tesla Model Y up to Tugaloo State park on the border of Georgia and South Carolina. I bought non-OEM cross bars for the canoe. The install was a bit tricky since the mounting is in exact places under the roof glass. The test was successful since I was driving up to 80 mph with 50 mph winds. No issues whatsoever. I did put a line from the bow down to the truck for some additional piece of mind. We did some canoeing, but not as much as hoped due to strong currents in the Tugaloo river. Cooking and eating out in the woods always makes food taste better.

Check out this Fendt 1000 tractor. I am not photo-shopped in on this picture. This machine is the largest draft tractor in the world. It has features such as front view camera in the hood and side door wipers. These features will help avoid running over cars that may be sharing the roadway immediately next-to or in-front of this colossal machine.

Commute as a New Experience

I am always interested in new experiences. Well, most new expereiences if they are not obviously dreadful. I have a new commute to my new job. Google maps says its an hour. In practice it is longer (in my straight up following lord and master maps of Google) due to car wrecks, and general bullshit. I don't have to be in the office everyday but a long commute is new to me. I am evaluating it. I am listening to audio books which is a great use of time that I otherwise probably wouldnt be doing. I dont have any pictures, I am too busy watching the road ahead for flashes of brake lights and nutso drivers.
