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...

Angie and I are having a normal weekend. We worked in the yard. Living in the South yard work is mostly about pruning and weeding. We are getting good with the requirements. We manipulate our garden as appropriate. Angie definitely has got some good pics flying. I was busy. We seem to have a neighbor who bought a Yak-52. Step 1. Get your pilots license. 2. Buy an airplane. 3. Complain about gas prices. 4. ? Notice that we have on short-final a small Cessna on the runway and a business jet waiting to take off. Normal.

This little guy is in big trouble. He is the one standing accused of eating flowers in our yard. Yikes!

We are back from NY. We did what we had on the list. We towed the Bobcat and a few other items down to Duluth. I have a couple of landscaping projects to do in Duluth. It is a long drive for sure, 16 hours worth. I can't say I like the long drive. There were at least 5 different significant slowdowns on the way up and back down, weather, traffic, accidents. The trailer performed perfectly. The AC even worked in the truck this time! There is a brand new beaver dam being built on the farm, fast. Not sure what to do about it yet. The corn is growing well and property issues are being addressed. The Dowdell Dacha/Fazenda is on plan.

Angie and I went to "Food Truck Friday" in Duluth. We had lobster from a food truck. I have been meaning to take the car/airplane pic for a while.
