Wyoming and Idaho

We are back from a quick vacation. I managed to score three (actually several more) bucket list items in 4 days. 1.) Long Snowmobile Trip. 2.) Yellowstone Park and 3.) Wyoming. I reached my 50th State --Wyoming! And we took a 90 mile snowmobile trip in Yellowstone National Park. We went to the "Craters of the Moon--National Monument and Preserve" in Idaho and also stopped at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) where I got to see (with my own eyes) the very cool nuclear powered twin turbojet engine. It was a successful experiment in the 1950s and 1960s. https://whatisnuclear.com/safety-minutes/htre-3-meltdown.html Of course, I had my Radiacode scintillation detector with me and yes, the apparatus is "Hot". The screenshot of the readings from my three walk-arounds the artifact. I swear you could smell the radiation. There was a very un-natural burnt smell something reminiscent of burned bakelite. Although, I am quite certain the emitted radition was not the source...

Things are good. I am working from home for Accuray, Inc. in my home in Duluth GA... Maybe for quite awhile. I like it. A friend said it makes sense for me. I am getting a new battery in Leaf west in California. It will meet Leaf east in Georgia in a few weeks. They have never met. I should be back in the air back here in Georgia soon. We are looking to buy our 5th plane, likely at C172 (R Model). Jewell and Gracie enjoy their space here in Georgia. The house projects are progressing well and hope to have the boat in the water this weekend after its retrofit. Master bath remodel is more than the halfway point.
