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"

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 gre...
On June 6 2004 I listed my top ten favorite songs. I think that list needs some updating. Again, in no particular order. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major Metallica: Nothing Else Matters (new) Patsy Cline: That Wonderful Someone (certainly, this is not the best version) Melody Gardot: Our Love is Easy (new) Frank Sinatra: My Way Pink Floyd: Pigs on the Wing Elvis Presly: In the Ghetto Hugh Masekela: The Boy is Doing It (new) Morten Stevens: Theme to Hawaii Five-OH Quincy Jones (and many many others): Killer Joe
