Always a lot going on..

I have had a serious of "near zero days" (reference hiking jargon), but I think they mostly just seem like zero days. I am getting stuff done, just not at 100% efficiency. Not sure anyone can move with 100% efficiency... Anyhow, I am planning on starting my next journey on May 1st. -- more details as they unfold. I know what I like and dislike. I know what turns me on and off. It's time for that knowledge to be guidance. We booked a trip to Wyoming/Yellowstone park in a few weeks. It will tackle at least three items that have been on my list 1.) Visit Yellowstone (in winter). 2.) A longish snowmobile trip. 3.) A visit to Wyoming. That will be my 50th state. That will make it all US states, 100 countries and all continents. I will likly be getting involved with MTP (Most Traveled People) https://mtp.travel/ where they break countries into regions. I decided I like this music. DiDuLa - "On the way home"

I have been in Europe for 11 days, mostly The Netherlands and Finland. Overall, looking ahead, I think I have everyday and evening booked in February. Pic 1. Central Finland in winter at 4:00 in the afternoon. Pic 2. Hints at the fairyland side of Finland from the air. Pic 3. Been on this plane several times now. I like the call sign. "Approach Control, Oh-8 with you at 12500." Pic 4. George Patton's Grave at a US cemetery in Europe. Pic 5. Great Sense of humor in Finland Pic 6. This is the tractor I am getting if I get back to farming. I only got it stuck once on my test drive. Pic 7. Great Architecture feels like putting on a pair of jeans just out of the dryer. Pic 8. Venlo, Netherlands Pic 9. This beer was pretty much unbelievable, the stuff on the side of the glass is known as "Brussels Lace" for good reason. Pic 10. What world heritage site is this? Pic 11. Chocolate! Pic 12. "I am looking for an attractive tariff."
