Machinery Infatuation

I bought my first NEW piece of farm machinery. I am not sure if this is a failure or a success, but it is different. I picked up a NEW Rotary Cutter (bush hog, brush hog, mower, etc) from a dealer. It cost me almost as much as the tractor did with its bits of hardware and options. It seems to work well on the CNH Boomer 33. I planned on getting up to NY in the next couple of days, but Gracie has been sick.. she has been up and down. The steroid treatment and a change in diet seem to be helping at this point. Besides hauling the tractor and mower up to NY I have numerous events planned over the next month. I will be in Charlotte for a conference as well as Tucson Arizona and of course other events and activities. I started installing radio equipment in the Humvee. It now has a telescoping 30 foot antenna, a 24 volt to 12 volt converter, a removable SDR radio and some other stuff to be sure. I'd like to get it to the Stone Mountain Hamfest -- thats what i am shooting for. I thr...

Guest from NYC

We had a guest this past week. Marina came down for a couple of days to visit Atlanta. Its been hot here in Duluth just like everywhere else it seems. The AC broke down just as the temps got hot (of course-- not because of pessimism, but things break under pressure.) It was a combination of problems and it actually broke twice. The second time I had to drive into Atlanta to get a new capacitor for the blower motor. I dont know how people cope by totally relying on service people. But then again my repair skills don't scale well. They are a matter of pride, nevertheless.

"Could be" Becomes "Yes it can"

The new driveway progresses in Berkshire, NY as well as remodeling in Duluth GA. There is nothing nearly as seductive as manifestations realizations of "what could be".

Drug Use

-
Image
In this age of "pharma" it strikes me that we may be living in mass ignorance in regards to "pharma for social change". With modern abilities to synthesize most compunds and drugs (maybe all) isn't it conceivable that drugs could be created by organizations that can use these coumpounds to affect humans in the most disturbing ways. Years ago folks had no question that technology was and is used for intelligence and covert operations. Do we think that the "technology age" as it progresses into the "bio age" that these advances will be used for human manipulataion without their concent or knowledge? Any drug that is reported to take away "free will" and can be delivered to selected individuals through very casual interaction should get our attention. It is very conceivable that variations and combinations of drugs briefly mentioned below are used to exploit others for social change. Or are we so naive that these drugs/weapons would ...
