The Iowan Path

Been real busy but thought I would pop in and say hi everyone. Just to catch everyone up on my life: finished my pilots license and as negotiated with Annette, I remodeled the house (new roof, siding and new interior). I hired some of the work but did all of the interior work including real hardwood floors. I am still hunting, Knapping , and developing out our creative space (park). Just bought more land to the west and dismantling the three really old mobile homes that were no longer inhabited. It’s more work than I thought to take them down with the tractor. I really need a backhoe with a finger thing on it. Just got off the phone with JW and might fly down if the weather cooperates to the classic. Lots of project with the woods this spring coming and planting potatoes next week. Bees are going crazy and dogwoods are blooming here in Iowa. Plan to do a few outdoor adventures with the plane this summer like the one in this video landing at lake Showme in Missouri https://youtu.be/t7pYO68gI9s?feature=shared.
