Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

We were up in Boston this weekend. I needed to rescue a bunch of antique radios and test equipment. We packed up 35 boxes of stuff for the movers to bring to Georgia. A much smarter move than driving the truck up and back down. It is 16 hours each way, it would have been a much larger commitment.

Here is a pic I took a couple months back of a fire truck greeting us on the ramp. No we weren't on fire thankfully. It was the last flight for the captain before retirement. The other pic is Jackson county Airport, Georgia.

A pic from Curitiba Brazil a couple of weeks ago. I always seem to see cars upside down in Brazil.

We were up in Rochester and Berkshire, NY. It was nice to spend time on the farm. We had half a day in Rochester, here is the quick video.
