Summer brings new friends

Summer is here. I have the AC on occasionally, except for the zoom room, which the AC is on all the time I am in there. Since we had so much rain awhile back, the mosquitos are unbearable. I called for air support from a pest killer company. June brings new fawns in this area. We have two new ones in the back yard, learning about the world. There was a nice Pitts Special that showed up at the EAA 690 breakfast this past week. I picked up another traffic control device. I will add an appropriate relay and sell to someone with a man-cave or bar. Wisdomino is certainly keeping me busy. I am a professional networker now. A lot to juggle.

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.
