Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Image
Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

Nice YouTube Video

I really like this Youtube. It is especially nice watching the layers of emotion and facial expresions morph. We are all different... yet the same. Beautiful is most appropriate. We are herding animals no doubt. Lets get over it, whatever it is.

Cuomo Crime Family

Image
I was sitting in my office working this afternoon and a bright light shone through the window. It got my attention. In further investigation it was not the sun. It was the news that Cuomo had resigned. A great day for us all. The Cuomo crime family may be on the break up. It is a shame that Cuomo gets to resign on sex abuse charges likley avoiding criminal charges, not only on the sexual abuse, but also manslaughter of nursing home patients and other crimes he has commited against people of Upstate NY. We can only hope that it is not some high-tech plea-deal or elitism that he will avoid investigations into indictment and conviction. We won't miss you or the rest of your crime family.

Kroger Employee Story

I stopped an employee in the good Kroger awhile back. I said, "I had a question for you." and then I said, "I have seen you here in this store for over the 11 years that I have been coming here. How long have you been working here?"... he had an energetic response. "I love this place . Everything about it. The people, the managers. I have been working here over 30 years." I said, "Cool! Have a great day." He said, "have a great year!!" True story.

Travel to the Farm Again-- (Cool Unappreciated Bridge in PA)

Image
We made a trip up to PA, NJ and the Farm in NY. We flew on a commercial plane for the first time in a year. No issues and not many surprises, some but not many. We rented a car in Philly and took it up to NY and back. The survey work is still not done on the farm. Almost funny, but not quite. I started on that in November 2020. They have now made 3 trips. The pins are still not set. Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct Cool Unappreciated Bridge in PA

KLZU--- Always Activity

Image
There is always something going on at my airport. Any of the events I go through in a week are generally nothing compared to a normal story of recent events in hanger flying. We hosted the 18 year old as he finished his flight to all lower 48 states in this piper cub. www.benflies.com I asked a friend about what it is like to fly into the annual EAA event at Oshkosh WI (the busiest avaiation flyin in the world). He said it is a lot like flying into KLZU on a Saturday Afternoon.

New American Flag

Image
We bought a nice American flag, pole and mount for the house. We both like it. We are not sure why the news folks like to talk about folks dishonoring the flag either in a symbolic or real way.
