Back on the farm in Summer

-

I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck. My 2017 Chevy 3500 HD service truck (with only 31k miles) is not my Tesla. I have grown very accustomed to the Tesla self-driving, navigation and general hi-tech luxury. The truck, although I am very fond of my truck, is stressful and expensive to drive compared to the Tesla. Being on the farm alone has been an eye opener. I had forgotten how quiet and in-nature this place is. Very occasionaly a car or plane comes by and disrupts the void, but only occasionally. It has been very reflective.

My Morning Walks

I was recently reminded about the importance of frequent walks. Its a great multi-dimensional therapy, and it is still free. This possom startled me the other day on my walk.

I often visit the many trains that pass through town here in Duluth GA. This particular train is a "milk run". It has about ten cars. It makes its way up from Inman yard in Atlanta to service the many business through this corridor. Many business get their deliveries through trains here. Train runs are not limited to the mega-huge enterprises, inland ports and Amtrak service. These are smallish operations. Some examples include cardboard manufacturing, scrap metal, drywall manufacturing, lumber wholesaling, and cement deliveries for making concrete.

African Adventure and Satellite Location Tracking

I don't usually post too much about upcoming travel. I am making an exception. Next week I am going on an eight country trip in Southern Africa. It's a solo trip. It's quite complicated and plans are just that --plans. Reality makes its own plans. Below is the URL of my rented satellite GPS messenger ( Spot X ) The URL will track and show you my location for two weeks starting Feb 6th, 2024. You will need to zoom in on Southern Africa. https://maps.findmespot.com/s/Y3YX
