Summer Starting to End on the Farm

It has been good spending time on the farm. I really had forgotten how quiet and dark it is here. It can actually be a bit unnerving. The leaf doodle bug was put to work in the forest. However, it looks like the car will be going back on the road. We can say it failed field trials,but that would only be partially true. The better utility value at this point is more suited to getting a teenager back and forth from high school. The mycological aspects of the farm did not disappoint. The pics of these shrooms are not photoshopped. The coal stove (very heavy) is loaded on the truck. It will be rebuilt in Georgia if I can save it. Coal stoves are increasingly out of production. When they are gone they are gone. The small wood stove is now in its place. The pic of the red sky in morning was indeed a warning of weather. We had strong storms and tornados in Upstate NY. Although I was travelling much that day in the area, I missed the worst of it.

I am not going flying this weekend. I am taking it off. There sure is a lot to the notion of knowing your limits when you have a pilots license. Although there is a lot to go through to get your license there is a lot of trouble that can be found out there, for sure. I suppose that is what they want you to realize as part of the training. My Blackberry croaked this week. It woke up dead. I went through 5 stages 1.) Denial. It just didn't get charged, that's it. 2.) Anger. It must have got dropped, shit. Who could have done that? 3.) Bargaining. I will take the battery and the SIM card out, that'l fix it. 4.) Depression. Shit, now what am I going to do. I need to check my schedule quick. 5.) Acceptance. Heh. I don't feel that chain and that heavy weight around my neck, kinda feeelsss OKkkk.

There is always something going on at the flight school and the airport. I enjoy spending time there. I neglected to get a picture of the headset that dangled out the closed door of a plane for quite awhile in flight. The headset did not fair well. I went up to the North GA mountains today. Always nice, even nicer in the fall. It is a real treat. I stopped to watch a balloon launch.

Interesting bit. The following is what you get if you try to get to Mike Angelini's Linkedin profile. Mike passed away earlier this year. This profile handling gives a whole other meaning to the term "information lifecycle". Working on my MS we had a class devoted to the book "Information Ecology". Linkedin probably wanted some money to keep things in perpetuity. Or, this is what they probably call "The family wishes". I find the policy (business rule) that linkedin uses in a case like this is ironic to say the least. There is no shortage of irony in information science.
