Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

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.
