3G

I've been wrestling with what will be my focus for the next three months - that is, besides bashing beefers (aka big, evil funds).

First, at the prodding of Mrs. B, an old high school teacher and my readings from the ancient world, I will start to learn ancient Greek. That will complete my language program to truly cover ALL the major languages of Europe and European history. I have one advantage - I already know the Greek alphabet from my physics training.

Second, I will start an intensive program in German. My German has languished as the beginner study materials available are a bit inferior to those available for the other languages. BUT I think with an intensive effort, I can overcome that and move my German to the next level, where the study materials are quite good.

Third is GREASE. I am making this the summer of the Half-track. A local friend & I will finish the brakes and suspension spring check-out. We have one track brake to adjust properly, which involves removal and re-installation of a 400 lb. track. After that, the rest is easy. Then I'll clean the spark plugs and fire it up. The half-track will roll again !!! Photos to be posted when it does.

A 3G summer should be fun.
