4th of July - Camping, Deer Babies, Wake Boarding

We have had a new resident. Actually there several new residents. A deer decided to have her kids in the back yard. They are here often. I can see them from my Zoom Room, so I apologize if I seem a little distracted sometimes when I am on a video call. We went canoeing and camping in South Carolina. We were exploring without a lot of planning, so you get what you expect- adventure and discovery. We stopped by the Tallulah Gorge lookout. When I rode my motorcycle through the area in the early 80's, I vowed I would come back. And I have come back-- again. I ate my traditional moon pie there as well. The Tesla is a great camper. Charge the battery, run the AC and enjoy the filtered ventilation with a nice entertainment system. Crazy. The paddleing wasn't that good. We found ourselves in Lake Keowee. The campground was good if you speak Spanish, and only enjoy power sports on small boats. I am a bit disturbed by the new trend of wake boarding. Instead of skiing being towed by...

I made my first trip ever to the scrap yard and dump since I have been in living in Georgia (3 years). Both scale/yard experiences were a lot more polite than my lifelong experiences up North. Prices are good for scrap non-ferrous, still. It is a good process here except for every transaction they take your picture ...by law... cataloging potential criminals. Overall, I don't mind, because I am not a criminal. Translation: "Its the Weekend!" Thanks to an Angel this is how I started my weekend!

I went flying "solemente" yesterday. I didn't take any pictures. It was very windy/gusty. When it gets like that the flying is absolutely a full time job. Taking pictures aren't on the agenda! My throat was bit dry after I got the plane home safety. Building skills... safely! I had to buy these huge cutlery wall hangings today. They are cast aluminum. If I have a giant extraterrestrial stop by for dinner I am ready to host! I am not usually buying such adornments for my home. I like the regression-factor these huge implements afford. My sister likes to remind me that us Dowdell's (as kids) were very insistent that our toys were all to be in the same scale during a play session.

I will be going back up to NY again soon as I rent the farm out again. It is nice up there. It is nice in Duluth GA too. Must be a state of mind rather than one of the United States. Maybe. The economic climate is much better in Georgia for sure. Went flying today. It was the first time flying into the worlds second busiest General Aviation airport and the second busiest airport in Georgia, second only to ATL which is the busiest airport in the world, KPDK. It has 4 runways and lots of traffic, good experience under the class Bravo airspace. It was hazy, but you can see downtown Atlanta in the pic. This guy couldn't see there was NO PARKING, fascinating. The jeep wouldnt start last weekend. It looks like it needs a crank position sensor.

I was up in NY over Labor day weekend. It was good, but a bit depressing. Douglas and I managed to get the Land Rover Stuck in a new spring we located. It had never been wet in that area before. We got it out with a MF 471 Tractor. It was good to catch up with the neighbors.
