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...

Llamapaedia: Wool: Shearing Llama haircut day! All the llamas behaved reasonably well. The llamas have come a long way from the wild way they were when we got them. The shearer-guy said they were well behaved and complemented on how well they were halter trained. Click pic for video

Berkshire I went to my first Berkshire Town Planning Board Meeting last night. There are four of us on the board and our role is to help the town board with recommended legislation and other efforts to improve the town. We don't meet that often (once a month), but we agreed that we will communicate via e-mail over the summer.

It is summer, or close enough, to blog. I am too busy having a life. I worked on the barn (foundation), worked on the pig water, worked on the tractor, the subaru and took Douglas's new Honda Insight for a drive. The neighbor came over in a donkey cart. The jeep crapped out and now it is fixed. The chickens aren't laying musch. The llamas are good, but artemis still has mites. I have to get some radios together for a buyer. I have many photos in queue to post. Stop back.

The story of inhabitant in Kunugiyama Here is a photo journal of my new commute. Every other day I catch a ride from a neighbor. He lives 2 miles away through the woods. I drive my jeep through my property to the edge of it. I get out of the jeep, walf about a hundred feet to the county park trail. I then walk about a mile through the trails to my waiting ride. It is different and good.

The Hawaii Five-O Home Page More information about Hawaii Five Oh than you ever thought could be concentrated. I love this stuff. Lets all get lives... or actually let us all not have lives but share our obscure and quirky findings with everybody else! Celebrate the bizzare and obsessive/compulsive behavior in all of us! Here I serve up a 16 MB file for the theme song. This could be a wait for the dial up folks. I thought the fidelity was worthwhile.

Victrola Music on Cassette and CD Early 1900's Recordings I was thinking that I should list something like the best ten musical pieces in my life so far. Of course, this list changes, but I thought it would be neat to list the way I see it today. So here it is: The following are not in order. I have listed the artist(s) or the the composer, sorry if I have not given appropraite credit. Tough. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major Satn Getz: The Girl From Ipanema Patsy Cline: That Wonderful Someone Thin Lizzy: The Cowboy Song Frank Sinatra: My Way Pink Floyd: Pigs on the Wing Elvis Presely: In the Ghetto Solte: The Planets Morten Stevens: Theme to Hawaii Five-OH Art Farmer: Killer Joe Something must be wrong. I don't really have any devil music there?
