Back on the farm in Summer

I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck. My 2017 Chevy 3500 HD service truck (with only 31k miles) is not my Tesla. I have grown very accustomed to the Tesla self-driving, navigation and general hi-tech luxury. The truck, although I am very fond of my truck, is stressful and expensive to drive compared to the Tesla. Being on the farm alone has been an eye opener. I had forgotten how quiet and in-nature this place is. Very occasionaly a car or plane comes by and disrupts the void, but only occasionally. It has been very reflective. It is the first time I have been up here from Georgia without a specific date I must be back for... or so it seems. "All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone."-- Blaise Pasacal mid 1600s. I guess I am working on humanity's problems. It can take a lot out of you. I feel good about some of the pics I ha...

It has been cold in Atlanta. So cold our lake froze like last year. Although it was not as cold as it was last winter. We are expecting this snap to be the last of it for this year. The leaves are emerging from buds. Warm days are not far off.

Back from several days in Minnesota. Cold! I am not accustomed to the cold anymore. It really does happen. I am sure I could easily get used to it again, I guess. I drove some large equipment in MN. This one even had my name on the front. It was good trip. It felt good to be working with Engineers. It is warm in Atlanta today. The tops are down on the convertibles. We had a chance to take some nice walks. The picture in the dark is Douglas after all the big snows up in NY. It looks like it is still coming.

One month down already this year. It looks like it will be a fast year. The busier you are the faster it all goes for sure. Besides the organizations outside of work, work and all sorts of stuff we have been in Georgia, Florida, Michigan and Minnesota. Here are some pics of the plane and some of the fun. Lots of smooth power. I think I have flown 10 different 172s over the last few years. This one is special. It is pretty much the only one that is hanger-kept. We fly to the land of "Dawgs" and we posed with our "crew car". It is nice getting Marshaled in. They are great at KAHN.
