Back South Again with More Projects

A lot of driving. I have forgotten how much driving is involved when on the farm. Everything is far. But I also had to drive up and back twice to Syracuse to pickup/drop off Angie at the airport and a business meeting for Wisdomino in Albany. Yeah it was a lot of driving. All and all it was about 4000 miles in three weeks. Early in the morning I decided to check out some auctions (dangerous). I ended up being high bidder on a 2015 New Holland Boomer 33 ( "hours unknown, does not run, may have problems, no key, no battery" ) from the State of Tennessee. I figured I could swing by Nashville and pick it up on the way to Georgia. And indeed I did. It was only a couple of hours extra, maybe 4. But, it was more efficient than going to Georgia and then back and forth to Nashville. Nashville is about 4 hours from Duluth. So I was looking at a 4 hour savings. After I go through it and getting if working I will tow it up to the farm in NY. I wasn't prepared for a tractor pic...

what's the opposite of someone who is not outgoing? Ingoing? I think not.

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.
