Back on the farm in Summer

Image
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. The truck, although I am very fond of my truck, is stressful and expensive to drive compared to the Tesla. Being on the farm alone has been an eye opener. I had forgotten how quiet and in-nature this place is. Very occasionaly a car or plane comes by and disrupts the void, but only occasionally. It has been very reflective. It is the first time I have been up here from Georgia without a specific date I must be back for... or so it seems. "All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone."-- Blaise Pasacal mid 1600s. I guess I am working on humanity's problems. It can take a lot out of you.

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.
