Back to the "Deep South" in Duluth GA

I get a kick out of hearing the term "Deep South" in 2026. It is a crazy incredibly outdated label. I think maybe I should start saying the "Deep Northeast". I am a Yankee. My family came over on the Mayflower and moved to Upstate NY via Connecticut. Terms used in the revolutionary and Civil war days are generally inappropriate. My family is all but totally out of NY State now. I find the term "deep south" to be of the same thinking that the movie "Heidi" is what contemporary Europe is like. It is a long drive between Berkshire, NY and Duluth, GA. Most of the 35K miles on the truck were spent in between. I drove the truck about 3k miles in 2-1/2 weeks. It was great to spend time on the farm. It was good to make some progress on needed repairs and improvements. I also felt good about making some new friends up there. I will be back up there in August.

I put a winch on my new truck. I am using a 2-inch hitch receiver with Anderson SB350 electrical connectors. That way the winch can come off the truck easily and used on my Trailer, back of the truck or elsewhere such as on the Bobcat. Of course when you have a 350 Amp electrical supply you can make jumper cables that connect to the connectors as well. Nice system.

Just back from Europe again. This time it was Germany and Budapest Hungary. The Stuttgart Airport terminal design wins the first-ever Dowdell Airport Structure Design Award. I got the opportunity to take the metro in Budapest this trip. It is one of the oldest and nicest Metro systems in the world.
