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.

Like flying, skiing is a good way to escape. It's hard (and downright unsafe) to think about work pressures when in the air or on the slopes. We saw a number of paraplegics on skis. That is inspiring. The drive back to Georgia was similar to last time I drove down, but this time I noticed minute by minute, mile by mile: The gas getting cheaper (near 4 bucks in NY and near 3 buck in GA) The temperature getting warmer (Teens in NY and 60s in GA) The sky becoming much sunnier The rain and snow stopping ...
