Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

We hung low this weekend, mostly creative computer work. We did sneak out a bit though.

Costa Mesa, CA Angie and I had a VIP tour of our neighboring Performing Arts Center. I have a 7 minute walk to the office building where I work. The walking distance is about the same to the immense Segerstom performing arts center. There is a pic of of some of the acoustic chambers and a 3rd century Syrian mosaic in the VIP lounge. We enjoyed a nice concert as well. Berkshire, NY A tree fell over on power lines on the farm in NY and a pic of the horses new home. Duluth, GA The bathroom remodel continues in Duluth.
