Back on the farm in Summer

I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck. My 2017 Chevy 3500 HD service truck (with only 31k miles) is not my Tesla. I have grown very accustomed to the Tesla self-driving, navigation and general hi-tech luxury. The truck, although I am very fond of my truck, is stressful and expensive to drive compared to the Tesla. Being on the farm alone has been an eye opener. I had forgotten how quiet and in-nature this place is. Very occasionaly a car or plane comes by and disrupts the void, but only occasionally. It has been very reflective.

Shootin' is a family event or a opportunity to meet girls in this area. Kimber Pro Carry Crimson II
"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't." -- Jerry Rice, Football Player I have been reflecting as usual. I think it is an interesting practice we all have with labeling ourselves. I mean the one or two word lables, not the extended descriptions. the question comes up in our own head simply? "What are You?" Usually, it has mostly to do with how we spend our core hours. I have been through many. Student, Technician, Engineer, Tech Writer, Manager, Senior Manager, Global Manager and today Businessman. Think of the above quote both in an organizational sense as well as a personal sense.
