We have had a new resident. Actually there several new residents. A deer decided to have her kids in the back yard. They are here often. I can see them from my Zoom Room, so I apologize if I seem a little distracted sometimes when I am on a video call. We went canoeing and camping in South Carolina. We were exploring without a lot of planning, so you get what you expect- adventure and discovery. We stopped by the Tallulah Gorge lookout.

I was in Tampa for a day or so, this week I will be in Detroit for the day. I finally got around to plotting the flight log from one of our flights in Hawaii. It was 174NM. Very memorable. I have been talking with some folks going on an Expedition to an Antarctica Island called Heard island. Very interesting. We are looking forward to and planning our party on March 8th in Duluth. It will be good to see people.

This weekend we are working around the house. It is sunny and bright, but cold for Atlanta standards. It got down to 13F this past week. It wasn't as cold as it was last week but I have to admit it felt cold to me. I read great quotes everyday. It has been part of my everyday thing for many years. This past week I had a couple pop into my mind. "It is not paradise, but you can see it from here if you look hard enough." --Unknown "Today I will do the things that others wont so tomorrow I can do things that others cannot." --Jerry Rice I noticed my internet speed at home was faster than usual. I did a speedtest at www.speedtest.net and I got the following results. Now that is fast! Don't tell anyone.
