Gotta agree with you Jim re doing any form of accounting or analysis re farming or personal finances..far too depressing.
Just returned from an exotic business holiday in balmy 3c weather in western Canada....stopping off in a Phuket resort for a few days R&R...all to a dried up dusty leafless farm..
Within days, sob story requests for “loans” from rellies.
Distant neighbor seems to think it a good time to start a frickin great fire burning bamboo.
Rubber price further down in the toilet, appliances breaking and need fixing or replacing at home, fish dead in my pretty pots because no one thought to actually refill the water lapped up by feral dogs.
Now 2.5 boxes of beer per week and christ knows the ciggy bill.
Never mind, where there is life there is hope…..outlook sunny and hot with chance of a depression.
Well this just maybe the year I get my long promised to me used 4x4 truck ...gotta a be a shit load of repo'd Vigos out there...
