Back on the farm in Summer

Image
I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck. My 2017 Chevy 3500 HD service truck (with only 31k miles) is not my Tesla. I have grown very accustomed to the Tesla self-driving, navigation and general hi-tech luxury. The truck, although I am very fond of my truck, is stressful and expensive to drive compared to the Tesla. Being on the farm alone has been an eye opener. I had forgotten how quiet and in-nature this place is. Very occasionaly a car or plane comes by and disrupts everything, but only occasionally. It has been very reflective. It is the first time I have been up here from Georgia without a specific date I must be back for... or so it seems. mid 1600s. I guess I am working on humanity's problems. It can take a lot out of you. I feel good about some of the pics I have taken.

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.
