Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

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.
