Busy Busy Busy. I am working on getting a new strategy on getting stuff done. The busy way isn't very good.

Waiting and reacting to requests/emergencies and attention getters is not the way. I am refocusing on what needs to get done from my agenda not yours. Sorry, but I know this is a better technique for my personal productivity.

Darryl Hudec's home built plane made the cover of Sport Aviation magazine this month. It is a beauty for sure. He flew it in for breakfast this weekend.

We had Major Latessa Meader speak at the aviation breakfast this weekend regarding the C-130 aircraft. She is very accomplished in the aircraft. The aircraft is definately worthy of accolades. I had the opportunity to add my experiences with the LC-130 in Antarctica.

Some of the traffic I get to expereince a couple times a week is still mind boggling to me. I tried to take a picture of the humanity that lines up on I-75 and often pokes along at 1/10 of the speed limit. You can't see all the lanes in the pic, but it is at least 9. the Tesla FSD helps. I get to watch scenery more. It helps having another set of eyes on the road and the legitimate crazy drivers.

Yes, I am still taking pictures of large bugs even after living in Georgia for nearly 15 years.

Blackout! What to do when the electricity fails Well we had quite a snow storm. The electricity is back on now. Actually it was only out for about 24 hours, but these things always seem to happen when you are not fully prepapred. I suppose that is the very nature of preparedness. Expecting the unexpected is not really straightforward. In fact it is impossible and it is a stupid cliche and a basic oxymoron. We had a bout 2 foot of snow in a day. We had a little from before, not much though. Here is a picture of the look outside when I got up. Mind you I plowed and cleared snow before I went to bed. ..and after I made the initial cleanup with the snow blower and bobcat.

Relief. Summer seems to be on the way out which means perfect weather here in Duluth Georgia. Gracie the cat being friendly on her "Fun boards". I attached a number of pine boards (fun boards) on the walls in the porch (cat room) afew years ago. She is starting to use them more. I would have thought that a cat would love them. They are up high, great visibility, exclusive use for cats... but the cat makes the final decision. My 2017 Chevy Service Truck just turned over 30k Miles. So I drive it less than 5k a year and most of those miles are on trips, most to the farm in NY and back. Here is a pic of me showing me with a portion of my shop. (It doesn't show my electronics bench or the racks and racks of stuff.) The bench is clean and that was the reason for the pic. It's a very rare situation. I bought a NEW piece of McIntosh audio gear to complement the vintage Mac components. The McIntosh MB25 is a Bluetooth transceiver that allows modern integrations with the vi

I have been busy at work. I am planning a trip to Brazil in a couple of weeks. Other than that NY, MA and maybe some other domestic travel for the rest of the Year. I may go to Haiti in March. I have to get the dates. I will be in Europe in Feb. It has been windy flying. Too windy to solo, but I still go with an instructor. I have a lot of studying to do. Here is an article about one of our most recent purchases. AGCO Buys GSI. It is good be be part of an organization where you you feel the executives are doing something meaningful. Unlike my most recent previous employer that hasn't launched a new product in years and spent the capital on questionable custom software. Now they have some plan to start making products in China for the China market. Good luck. Here is a pic of a 220HP tractor I drove the other day.

Everywhere we go in Zancudo there are books (in English) to read. Relaxion is a serious vocation here. I read a good book yesterday. I was inspired. I am working on a travelogue for this trip besides the blog. the trip and the experience warrants extra attention. We got together with a bunch of US folks last night for a fish BBQ. It was fun. The stories were hilarious. This is the picture of the fancy restaurant we have been to several times. These are the choices. Great food. Comfort. Warmth and freedom.
