Upper Peninsula Michigan and Auction Win Outcomes

-

I was up in Wisconsin and the UP (upper peninsula) in Michigan. It was a lot of driving after launching/landing in Appleton WI. I got an item off the bucket list by driving across the "Mighty Mac". Altough it was built in the late '50s. It is still the longest suspension span in the Northern hemisphere. It is a crazy long bridge with a crazy long suspension span. It was good to see the bridge in context of the seemingly endless forests of Northern Wisconsin and Michigan. The culture in the two haves of Michigan are noticibly different as you might expect. Great time meeting with folks both in WI and MI. The tractor I won in auction, seems to have paid off. This time I beat the odds. It was a really good deal. I have the "no-key, non-running, may have hydraulic problems, unknown hours" -auction win, running well with minimal cost and time. I have some more tweaks, maintenance and minor fixes but the major risks are gone.

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.
