What is that BOOM?

We have lived here on the farm for about 12 or 13 years now and we are always feeling a shake the house boom. The kids would run out to see if there were jet flying over and I would say at that speed they are gone. We are in a flight patter to Dover Air Force base and have seen some really cool jets including a couple stealth jets at about five hundred feet. So here I am in the easy chair this morning and BOOM… My first thought was the kids and how they used to run for the door but since I have been sailing the bay I now know what it is.

The farm is not far from the Chesapeake Bay and they play war games with ships and helicopters etc. The BOOM is them doing live firing exercises. See I know about this because we sailed right on the edge of the area and they chased us down with a fast navy boat and a helicopter. They told us we would be OK if we held our course and they were not going to start firing until the fog lifted a bit more. It was cool to see all that goes on out there I would love to shoot one of those big guns. I am not too sure I would be good at it but it would most definitely be cool.

As I said I am still in my easy chair this morning, there has been a weather change here and it has become cold at night we went from hot to cold at night and the sun is falling faster. I know I don’t have a cold it has to be the rag weed in the fields and I have a stuffy nose and can’t stop Huh huh choooooo Sneezing so My first thought for when I get finished is to get to the store and get some allergy medicine.

I am out there in the fields every day now picking pumpkins and gourds. Check out the colors in the Gourds! All the kids that come to buy with their moms ask me if they are real. Nature makes some crazy things for us to enjoy.

Two Thoughts?




I have so many ruining through my head how do I stop them for a moment to put two of them in a post!
Should I write on our economy?

How about our society… No I wrote that on Wrongblog last night… Sorry I had a little rant going on there.

How about those that drain our country of resources and that do not deserve them – they just know the system and how to work it… That would be a long boring post…

I could write about my work but you all know what I do so that would be redundant.
Oh so many thoughts…

As I sit here in my easy chair this morning gazing out the front window across my farm land, I guess I will just let my mind wonder for a few moments and write them down.

It is very cold this morning…18 degrees and it snowed a little last night. There is still snow on the ground from last week, bunny tracks all over the place as they look for food and shelter from the cold. A few bald eagles have stopped by this morning to see what’s going on on the farm today they are so beautiful and graceful to watch, I had better wait to let the Chihuahua (we call her Taco Bell) out or she might take flight! Timber (the wolf) snuck in the house to get out of the cold she is back outside early so watch out Mr. Bunny Rabbit…

The snow and Canadian geese have arrived in full force in the front of the farm there must be literally hundreds of thousands of them… I always look out the window and yell out it looks like we are on the Calamari just so the kids will correct me one more time and say, “It’s the Kalahari Dad” with some what of an attitude in their voice and I just chuckle. As I look out the window this morning from my easy chair I wonder what kind of crops I should grow come spring… I want to do something different this year.

In know that was more then one thought but as I said I would just let it flow I can’t just choose one although the first was what I see out my window so I guess that counts as one…LOL

My second thought- 11:30 am *still in the easy chair* I have been working on a design for a home energy windmill I am just about out of the planning stage. The pole is up, the wiring is from the pole to the house and the construction is about to begin on the wind generator itself. Since I am in the construction business also, I have the tools and equipment to do this in the shop here on the farm. I have plenty of room it’s a 3200 square foot shop with all the tools a man could want… I have collected them my entire life. I can’t wait to get this done, I have never been this excited to do a project – especially one that will be such a positive one. I will be able to stop taking from the infrastructure and have some electric for the mere cost of wind. It seems to always be windy here year round. The farm is on one of the high spots of the Delaware Peninsula. What got me thinking about building a windmill is that friends always would say “Oh if we are going to the farm I had better get a wind breaker.”

I guess I had better get my shoes on, I have to go to town and talk to the local diner owner, he wants to remodel the place. It’s 11:30 am or so here and the sun is up high and it has warmed up a bit so it’s time to hit the road.

Have a great Tuesday everyone and thanks for stopping by 🙂
