Summer in Duluth GA

Angie and I took the sports car to one of the many parks in Gwinnett county to walk. We saw signs for "free food / Comida". Being that I am always up for a snack, I decided to see if I could get some. Sure enough, they are handing out Breakfast and Lunch kits. We got a "lunch" and ate it in the park. I was pleased that there was no political literature in the bag only the normal commercial stuff for the products and the company that assesmbled the kits. It was a weird expereince. I have no idea of who these meals were intended for. I entered the Humvee in the Duluth car show. That was fun. It actually won second place in the "pickup" category. Car shows are like that.. somewhat self-congratulating. We signed up for drone home delivery. Although it is very unlikely we will ever use it. This squirrel was particularly tenacious on the feeder. I am sure the birds saw it as a spectacle. The bobcat came in quite handy this week, both for some str...

I was up in NY over Labor day weekend. It was good, but a bit depressing. Douglas and I managed to get the Land Rover Stuck in a new spring we located. It had never been wet in that area before. We got it out with a MF 471 Tractor. It was good to catch up with the neighbors.
Less is more, more or less.

My friend Dennis was in Atlanta for a conference. We had a few nice dinners together. It was a good excuse to invite a few friends out for dinner. I have been in Tampere Finland. Very pleasant. The clean air and relaxed safe attitude is all worthy of attention.

Vivid Dreams

I had a very vivid dream a few nights ago. It was so vivid I woke up. I wasn't scared or anything; it was just vivid. The general thematic conflict was "Man against Martians or the Extraterrestrial". When I remember dreams I always try to analyze them. It is a great window into inner space. Like I said it was quite vivid and the amazing details that comes with the word... vivid. From www.dreammoods.com Extraterrestrial To dream of an extraterrestrial being or place represents your far-fetched ideas and wild imagination. Your mind does not know any limits. Alternatively, the dream represents your desire to escape from your daily life.

My new boat. It pays to be involved with your neighbors.

It is Summer! at least everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. I am in Atlanta for a few weeks it looks like. Bill and I went flying today. I haven't been taking many photos when flying lately; I am not sure why. It was hazy, but generally very nice flying conditions. I fired my landscaper so now I am stuck with lawn work for awhile at least. The yard still has surprises with flowers here and there. It has been very wet in Atlanta. The lawns are still very green and I don't know if it has been over 90 degrees more than just a couple of times. I have lots of things to do on my lists for sure. I have been relaxing too. That might seem strange to people who have known me for a long time. Also, here is a picture of the drive from NY back down to Atlanta last Sunday and one of our antique tractors going somewhere. Some friends of mine and I opened a bottle of mead that I made Aug 27, 2000. It was 13 year old homebrew made from wildflower honey from NY state. It was quite good. It was...

Does the world really need this tension?
