Nature -- Deer and Butterfly

I do like the outdoors and nature. I dont like the naive view. I like the real thing. Sometimes it can be scary and sometimes it hurts. I still like nature. I like wilderness. Camping in North Georgia is quite nice. There is a alot going on as usual, at work and at home. I think I am going to sell the humvee. I dont need 5 cars. I have some more work to do to it, but after I get what I have planned done. Its gonna hit the road. It will still take me awhile with my current level of productivity and the number of projects I have in flight. I will be up in NY again soon probably and I have travel plans currently to Maine, New Hampshire and Japan. I am making vacation plans mostly in the Caribbean.

I finally got a chance to blog. The world cup final is today. Although, I don't normally watch sports, I have been actually following this time.

We then drove the truck (that my Sister staged in Boston) to the farm and expected to drive back to GA with the trailer and equipment, but I decided the trailer wasn't up to the trip. So, the trip was just with the loaded truck, with mostly radio equipment carefully wrapped in plastic bags and covered with a tarp. I used my aviation GPS on my iPad (foreflight) to measure our progress on the Acela. We hit 129 knots (148.451 mph)(238.908 kph) on two occurrences. Geese friends on lake back home in Duluth.
