Always a lot going on..

I have had a serious of "near zero days" (reference hiking jargon), but I think they mostly just seem like zero days. I am getting stuff done, just not at 100% efficiency. Not sure anyone can move with 100% efficiency... Anyhow, I am planning on starting my next journey on May 1st. -- more details as they unfold. I know what I like and dislike. I know what turns me on and off. It's time for that knowledge to be guidance. We booked a trip to Wyoming/Yellowstone park in a few weeks. It will tackle at least three items that have been on my list 1.) Visit Yellowstone (in winter). 2.) A longish snowmobile trip. 3.) A visit to Wyoming. That will be my 50th state. That will make it all US states, 100 countries and all continents. I will likly be getting involved with MTP (Most Traveled People) https://mtp.travel/ where they break countries into regions. I decided I like this music. DiDuLa - "On the way home"

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.
