We are again back in Duluth from the farm in NY. We made good progress on the house and barn, fixing upgrading, cleaning. More to come. We went to the dump three times, the metal scrap yard twice and the can/bottle redemption center once. I am slowly, but surely converting Angie to a redneck. It is a journey for her between US State Department work and scrapper-redneck. The snow was a bit of a surprise as well as the "ice fog" in the Owego valley. The weather changes fast and extremely. The corn was harvested. It has been so wet in NY we had to transfer the grain out in the road, rather than the field. The truck would get stuck. We both have vivid dreams sleeping on the farm. The cool air and lack of population seems to trigger vivid dreaming. Sometimes the dreams are so vivid it is clear why some people may think they are abducted by aliens.

We were up in NY this week. I managed to get my new truck stuck pulling tubing on the solar hot water system, which I just decommissioned. The 4 wheel drive was not enough. The clay/sod topping of the land on the farm is really amazing at getting things stuck. My tires are also terrible at breaking the vacuum. Douglas got me unstuck with superior tires on his Land Rover and the judicious use of sand ladders. We found an old diner-style jute box in Frackville PA. I thought they were all gone.
