It seems like the last couple weeks is about broken stuff. Angie was rear ended on her way to work. The car is broken. The refrigerator also decided to croak. Trying to catch up, gain back lost ground. We have a new car, very similar to the rudely smashed up car. I had it shipped from Texas. Also have a new a new fridge and backup freezer and fridge. Spring is very sprung. The pollen seems worse that usual this year. In Atlanta we complain about the traffic and the pollen, neither one is really as bad as we say.

DJ has been in Duluth. It was actually in the 60s here today. I was out doing a cook out in my flip-flops and shorts.
It has been a bit windy flying. I don't mind it being windy, but when you are doing lots of landings it does get a bit stressful.
I took a pic of Atlanta Motor Speedway from the air. I ended up buying more laps. I will be back down there in the next few months. I get to open it up solo now through. This time it will be a bit more intense than the first time (the next level). I never really considered myself a thrill-seeker, but I may have to resign to the label.
I was down in Florida for a day with my siblings and my Mom. She is slipping more and more away. We work on different aspects of the humorous side of things, but at the end of the day we all know the gravity. I like the pic (in part) because of the photographer in the mirror. There are a lot of folks in the background. This photo captures that aspect in a way.
We took some breakfasts up to the controllers in the tower at Gwinnett county airport (LZU) as part of the monthly breakfast event with the EAA Chapter 690. I am becoming a regular as part of the meetings. It was great meeting with the people I curse in the airplane. They have a tough job. While we were in the tower I got this nice video of the super-cub picking up the banner. I will be participating in a DC-3 event later this month.

Spring has sprung in Berkshire. The weather was great Saturday. I riggged up a tractor back-blade on the tractor and it has become a formatible dozer. We took the llamas for nice hike outback. The woods were as beautiful as expected; the buds are getting green and you can still see through the woods. Nothing is hidden by the leaves as it will be in a few months. I got some more sand for the garden and will be turning that in soon. The chickens have been having a great time picking bugs from around the house and letting us have their eggs. I went for a very nice plane ride a few days ago in a Cessna 172. The weather was near perfect. It was possibly one of my best flights ever. My interst in aviation is hightened lately; I was just reading about the DeHaviland Twin Otter aircraft. I am expecting to get a ride in one of these this year. They are 20 seat twin torboprops (Approx. 580 HP each) with a 12,000 lb takeoff weight. They seem to be very rugged and versatile. They are non-presuri...

I had a great flying lesson last night. My instructor is great. He was laughing at me because one of my takeoffs was so bad. That is how *I* learn. He understands that. He said I am ahead of the game. What a great experience. My mouth was getting pretty dry at times. There is an awful lot of information to process. It is challenging. My training plane is for sale (1966 Cessna 172G) here.
I have been traveling a bit. I ended up getting stranded in Detroit. Delta Airlines put me up for the night. I am home now. No worse for the wear. I don't get upset at the airlines (no matter who I fly). People are often at their worst when they travel. They have "home" issues. It is a complex situation. Just be safe. Have a great plan B. Can you imagine if the pilot got on the intercom and said "trust us"? When someone says "trust us" it is distastefully condescending and you should not be trusting. I took a pic from the airplane of the farm and roughly outlined the property lines. Also, a nice pic of the llamas. They are getting ready to watch "llama tv". They will all move in close quarters, sit side by side and spend all night getting their view of the world.
A Commonplace Book: Work Jokes: Meeting Bullshit Bingo
I get such a kick out of some of the office rumors/facts that go around work. There was some major secret news at work today (last few days) where the seniors were going around telling the high level managers what the lower folks already knew. It is all about information. Information is everywhere. Management of information is not like the days of the iron curtain. Trust is not something you can count on. The golden rule does not apply. It is an unfortunate. There are new rules of no rules. That also is unfortunate. Integrity must come from within. There is no substitute.
