Vacation now every day of the year! My vacation started when I stopped having to punch a clock about 15 years ago...figuritively told them to "Take this job and shove it."... Never regretted anything. Vacation? Getting up and going to bed when I want to, eating when I want to, daily looking at and caring for the animals, livestock, watching sunset, etc., etc.
Like some said...even if I wanted to take an "away" vacation, hey...try to find someone you can depend on to take proper care of your livestock and find them all alive and well and all accounted for on your place when you get back!
Have a cell phone; however, never turn it on except when on road to get supplies, errands,etc. That's what office phone is for and "voice mail."...lol. And...my wife...she loves the phone...even has a heatset to talk while she's working around here!...LOL.
Some people (especially the "soccer mom" generation) will go into cardiac arrest if they can't answer the phone. ME? "If it's important, they'll call back or drop by our place and visit a spell...right?"
What I like about e-mail: Send message at your convenience; read incoming message at your convenience. The phone doesn't have me on a leash...
