2 May, another windy day

Another windy day, and the ag planes were quiet again. The storm that
roared through the area early this morning did no damage in this
area, although Ava, 30 miles west, had lots of damage from 70
mile-per-hour winds or greater.

The mailman brought another goodie, the gps antenna that collects
latitude and longitude information and sends it to the Nikon camera.
I hooked it up to the D2x, powered it from my VW, and sure enough, it
found satellites and recorded the info. There is no software or
readout with this unit, it's just an antenna that plugs into the
camera. It was plugged in to the car dc socket, so I couldn't get a
clear shot of the Lance with its shiny red and white paint job.

There was no spectacular sunset, as the sky was clear today, finally.
Spotted some bunnies playing in the grass, keeping the old tractor
company. And the neighbor's calves were munching on the lush new
grass. Spotted a stray kitty hunting, and when I moved closer a
meadow lark escaped from just a few feet away from him. Late
afternoon light is very rich and warm.

That's all for today... maybe the wind won't be blowing in the morning!
