MARTA is the mass transit train system in Atlanta. They just upgraded the ticketing system. It was totally free for about 6 weeks, no ticket kiosks, or need for tickets, just walk through the turnstiles ... crazy stupid. I have sworn off using Marta several times and I still find myself back on it... We have been ridiculed, and been made very uncomfortable and worried about our safety a number of times. But it continues to be the best option getting to and from the ATL airport. I take the train from Doraville to the Airport. The entire length of the Gold Line. The city (I guess) is trying to get MARTA a bit more orderly before the FIFA events in Atlanta this year. They have a lot of work to do. Although I saw a few more security/MARTA Police and quasi security foilks, the same crazy bullshit is still happening.

We are back from NY again. The drive in the new truck was a lot better than the old truck. Using a combination of Google Maps and Waze we did a good job of navigating the crashes and slow downs, making the decisions to take alternate routes or through the a slowdown. The telemetry on my phone says the trip was a total of 2437 miles. Albeit it took 3 weeks, since we drove up, flew back and then flew up and drove back, again. Every time I make it up to the farm I am always humbled by the property. It takes most of a full-day just to walk the property. Much to do. In Duluth, the normal heat and the extra moisture has yielded growth. Our fig tree in the front yard has good fruit and is just about perfect.

I been working on projects. One of the planes is in for its annual inspection. We found a small crack in the horizontal stabilizer. It is a involved repair to be sure. Lots for me to learn. The video is the procedure we are doing.
