Chazd's (Charles Dowdell's) News Burps

We spent a bit of time on the Northern part of Lake Lanier with friends. It wasn't as busy with boats as expected. It was nice.

I was in Madison, Wisconsin for a few days at corp HQ. Finally, after working for 3-1/2 years for the company. I finally got to see my first real glimpses of product, some of the team and colleagues.  

I watched a cool movie. "kin-dza-dza". I found it independently and asked Angie. She laughed and said it was a good movie. So we watched. It was made in the Soviet Union as perestroika was taking hold. It was a fun movie. "K'U!"

Some random pics from the last few days. --My metal roof is now installed. Quite durable and breaks me out of the stupidity of having an asphalt/fiberglass shingled roof. Many years in the thinking/planning. Now done. --A nasty looking black coyote in the back yard. He is looking for the many deer fawns this year no doubt. He can smell them in the back yard. I see them everyday. --Burlwood. Part of the sawmill fun. A white oak tree we dissected has a number of nice burls. Great for turning into bowls on a wood lathe. --Some of the deer friends I see every day. --Grace and Jewel posing for a photo. --A red shouldered hawk out from my office --A Norfolk Southern crew change in Duluth GA. They occasionally do crew changes in Duluth. Nice to see it with a Union Pacific lead loco.
