I have had a serious of "near zero days" (reference hiking jargon), but I think they mostly just seem like zero days. I am getting stuff done, just not at 100% efficiency. Not sure anyone can move with 100% efficiency... Anyhow, I am planning on starting my next journey on May 1st. -- more details as they unfold. I know what I like and dislike. I know what turns me on and off. It's time for that knowledge to be guidance. We booked a trip to Wyoming/Yellowstone park in a few weeks. It will tackle at least three items that have been on my list 1.) Visit Yellowstone (in winter). 2.) A longish snowmobile trip. 3.) A visit to Wyoming. That will be my 50th state. That will make it all US states, 100 countries and all continents. I will likly be getting involved with MTP (Most Traveled People) https://mtp.travel/ where they break countries into regions. I decided I like this music. DiDuLa - "On the way home"

I am back from England and NY. Busy. Busy. Just like everybody else this time of year. Last year when we went to Hawaii that set a good vibe for us. I can't say I like the insanity of the Christmas season in the US. It is not what it is all about. Some descriptions of the pics. On the way to Europe it appeared we flew right over the farm. I had to hit the brakes when an Alpaca had broken through a neighbor's fence in NY. A nice Sundog. Douglas and I had some original Speidies in Vestal, NY. And some other assorted pics.

I decided to spend some time "under the hood" today. I am wearing the "foggles" in a pic here. Simulates flying through clouds. I can only effectively see the instruments, not outside. Of course, since I am working on the rating, I need a safety pilot with me. The clock is ticking to get my instrument rating. The air was clear and cool.

We have had a spectacular Thanksgiving this year. We worked hard on the house and yard. The weather has been perfect. When we were out on the boat the other night we heard a (what I have heard before) a beaver slap. The beaver slap sound is a different from a carp jump. The beaver slap is well ...a slap. A carp jump is a just splash. Looking about we saw the critter, not sure what it is, a Beaver. An otter? You let us know.

Installing the electric for the tub was more work than I planned (as usual). Pulling the 6AWG wire though the conduit was a total pain. I laid a bunch of f-bombs and did some thrashing about. The thrashing seems to help get wires through conduit. Anyhow, the spa operational. It is quite nice. We have had a cold snap at the same time so getting out of the tub is a bit traumatic. We went to the Buford Farmers Market Sunday. The place is well known in Atlanta. You can get foods from all over the world and great selections. We got fresh baked Mexican pastries, Ukrainian candies, Russian Herring, Fresh Turkey and chicken and strange fruit from who-knows-where.

We spent the weekend at home. Managed to get the spa placed. A little bit more to do to get it in use. Having a bobcat comes in handy for sure.
