Summer Starting to End on the Farm

Image
It has been good spending time on the farm. I really had forgotten how quiet and dark it is here. It can actually be a bit unnerving. The leaf doodle bug was put to work in the forest. However, it looks like the car will be going back on the road. We can say it failed field trials,but that would only be partially true. The better utility value at this point is more suited to getting a teenager back and forth from high school. The mycological aspects of the farm did not disappoint. The pics of these shrooms are not photoshopped. The coal stove (very heavy) is loaded on the truck. It will be rebuilt in Georgia if I can save it. Coal stoves are increasingly out of production. When they are gone they are gone. The small wood stove is now in its place. The pic of the red sky in morning was indeed a warning of weather. We had strong storms and tornados in Upstate NY. Although I was travelling much that day in the area, I missed the worst of it.

It was a good week. They are all good, even if I don't think so. Stay with the program! My Aunt was in town for a day. Buddy the goose has been missing. We were getting to enjoy his sassy attitude around the house. The back up camera in the leaf came in handy so I didn't run him over. I started calling the camera "The Buddy Cam". More than once I caught him flapping his wings warning me not to leave as I backed out the driveway. I am working on my IFR rating. It is requiring more focus that I originally thought it would. It will be worthwhile. Getting a pilots license is a really good thing to do, getting additional ratings is quite a natural thing to do. Being a licensed pilot is a reasonably small club worldwide. It is always fun to meet other pilots and talk planes.
