Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

It is now pollen season in North Georgia. I am sure glad I don't have an allergy to the stuff. It gets everywhere and piles up like yellow powdered sugar. Me and the guys went to the range the other night to finally try out my 45 Caliber Kimber Pro-Crimson Carry II. It is going to take a while to get it broken in. There are quite a few ranges around. 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.
