Thank you for the compliment on our farm.

I know what you mean about overload.

There are those 'days' when everything seems to work against you and it is not so much fun.

My frustration(s) usually result from events not even remotely related to the farm.

The farm gives me a lot of quiet time, riding on a tractor, focusing on what really 'counts' right now in my life - good health and a good marriage.

You are very correct about 'adjusting' the attitude.

As granny Clampett of the Beverly HillBillies would say 'Every day is a gamble, I figure if I wake up in the morning I'm a winner.'

I get to yell out loud, cuss equipment, throw 'dammit' tools, etc. without doing any harm to livestock or my favorite wife Nancy.

Most times I laugh about my 'bad' behaivor that unfortunately sometimes Nancy witnesses.

There is no computer, no cell phone, no fax machine, etc. to 'chain' me down. Use the TV mainly for the weather report.

Except for the digital camera, we basically 'retro' back to the 40's, 50's, and 60's every weekend.

Most of the 'junk' equipment that we buy, can be resurrected and put back in service. Some pieces are more challenging than others.

Sounds like you have a good plan for your semi-retirement.
