Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

It has been a good week, they all are. We always need that reminder. Have you ever waken yourself up laughing? I did this past week. Weird! Experience profound irony in your subconscious. Make it a goal! There have been some really good physics discoveries these past few weeks, check them out. I also walked to work this past (round trip) week. It was an extra 50 miles of walking this week. What a great experience. Beyond the great physical exercise, it reminded me of many things. It is a great expansion of thought, exercise, and practicality. It is the only cheaper way of getting to work than my electric car (since I plug if in elsewhere than home). Although my own mobility does require some extra bottled water. Us humans are oafs in our cars Rain is not and has never been a show-stopper We are slobs, discarding stuff on roads Sidewalks are nice Us humans are physical units, not computers If I decide to do a through-hike of the Appalachian trail (in a respectable time), I think I ...

Here is a great jazz tune. If you have ever said, "I don't get jazz". Listen to the following song a few times. Every time I hear it I say the same thing to myself, "I get it!"

Lewis and I flew down to Peachstate GA. (GA2) Sunday for some lunch. We were going to go to the Henderson NC for a fly-in, but the weather up there was a bit dodgey. It was fun. A guy in an RV decided to provide some airshow activity for us. It is a grass strip in fair condition.

Life is good. It not just a catchy phrase. You get out what you put in. The universe is ambivalent and serves as a great retro-reflector. Angie is in Vladivostok. Her Father is recovering from some very significant procedures. It is a trying time, but I expect good things. Prayers in our Church here in Atlanta. My Aunt Sis passed away when I was in Europe. There wasn't enough time for me or my sister to get to the funeral in Maine. It has been yet another strange experience that may not have a decent previous comparison. Let's see how long this URL stays valid: Catherine Johns of NY and Maine I am probably not traveling much in the Month of June, unless, I really need to get away. I make my own adventures. Depending on the weather I am flying with a friend to a fly in in NC. I currently have a very experienced commercial pilot staying with me in Duluth. His insight is good and it all helps. I have been walking to/from work. It is 4.3 miles each way. Although my driving commute ...
