Nah I quit that like a few months ago. The schedules weren't meshing and I was having to deal with too much BS there. So I picked up some part time work as a farm hand and I drive the bus now!

I'm enjoying watching you all get the place in shape... Would still like to find time to visit back and forth. I have a feeling we'll get round to it eventually! Lol

Are you guys set up ok to get through a cold winter? Old timers are saying probably a bad one this year. We're still getting more wood in...a lot is still down from the derrecho last year.

Hey, been meaning to ask, how did the transplanted Ramps do?

We are good for heat. I have gas and the wood is for my bedroom which doesn't have heat. The ramps that I've been planting in the woods are doing really well. I had a lot of them set seed this year. I won't know about the ones in the bed till spring.

Our biggest issue was the hay. I got about half of what I need. More than I had last year!

I'm still mostly working on building my business and getting the debts after the divorce paid down. We are getting there. Slowly but surely. sometimes it feels more like slowly!

Well I've been in Florida this week taking my final exams to become a licensed instructor of applied equine podiatry. I passed! This has by far been the hardest class I have eve taken in my life.

While I'm here there is flooding and ice Nd snow at home and I am so ready to be back home with the ice and snow and flooding!
