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.

I am back from vacation in iceland (Island), and then work in Denmark, Sweden and Hungary. We lost power for a few days after Tropical storm Irma. I am well prepared for storms and many disasters, but I was not home. Angie had to improvise. It was suggested that I need to create some specific instructions for her. It would probably be a good idea. It would help me ensure I do have plans for different scenarios.
