Chris: I like your math, coupled with the goals you've set. I used to sell fire wood, some was picked up and I delivered some. I had one customer, a banker, and bankers are always looking at feasability. One year during my delivery I asked him how wood ranked as being a feasable fuel. His responce, "I need exercise, I'll be damned if I'm going to jog through the neighborhood making a fool of myself, I'm not going to one of those gyms, etc., etc." He did say if he factored in his labor, wood was not an economical fuel
I then relayed a story to him about a hippy type school teacher who's wife needed a studio for he art work, thus they bought a 5,000 sq ft building that had been used as an auto showroom and offices, and turned it into a home and studio. He was always out jogging and she had the showroom full of her artsy-fartsy belongings. They lived right across from my mother inlaw. Heat was killing them on this big building, thus we saw a full trailer load of 8' hardwood arrive. He hired two guys to buck the wood with chain saws all this while he was out jogging. One evening my wife asked me to drop a parcel to her mother. On my way I met Woopie, (that name given him by his students) jogging close to 3 miles from his home. As I turned into my mother inlaws, I noticed in my rearview mirror someone splitting wood with a splitting axe. As I got out of the car, sure enough it was Mrs. Woopie splitting wood.
I then relayed the possible goals in this situation to my banker friend. I said, "here we are 18 months later and Mrs. Woopie has moved out and filed for divorce." The banker responded, " There you have it, one has to realize a man's goals before he makes a judgement call as to whether a given situation is feasable."

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
