You're happy - that's about all you can ask for isn't it? Like you, many of my client's live the other life. Many friends do too. I was even in business with a friend for a while who lived that life. I wouldn't wish it on too many people. Its not a bad life, just not me. Too much stress for what we all face in the end - the real end. Seeing the post someone just put up about view from the tractor seat... is there a better "pic from my office"?
Anyway, several years ago myself and a few friends coined the "cookie philosophy":
Go up to a 4 year old and show him a briefcase full of $20's and one full of cookies. See what he picks. That's our goal for retirement.... cookies (and I'm only 46). The money is just to get from point A to B in life - spend what you have to, squirrel the rest away, and eat cookies. And most 4 year olds are very happy.
Enjoy, and keep up the posts and pics - gives me something to shoot for at my place.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
