Many of us have had life/death experiences that shape our overall outlook- give us the proper perspective. It happened to my wife and I 10 years ago and solidified our desire to retire early. We both walked away 10 months ago and couldn’t be happier with our decisions.
Thank all of you for sharing. It gives me new perspective when talking with all of you who have been to the doorstep.
Not a good day for seat time. Temp dropped to 38F before I got out of the house it was windy and very overcast. I was just about to go home from the gardens when a lady requested some mulch, I was cold already and starting up the tractor for 1 FEL of mulch was hardly worth it, but then she said she needed 60 wheel barrels full for our pocket parks in the gardens - I quickly figured 3 hours seat time and said: "i'll get right on it Ma'am". While out, 3 others also needed tractor work - I froze my ___ off but still smiling.
Today I also joined the wood working club and they will teach me how to operate all of the machines and my wife is giving me a whole year to build her a custom desk. They are a little behind on the orientation classes because of high demand so I'll really get started in about two weeks. The club also provides a mentor for your first project.
Ahhh, seat time....
Farmer, it looks like you guys and PJS had the weather this last couple of days.
