[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 593657, member: 7795"] For me, Wednesday is a day that not much gets done. A buddy of mine and I go to the local auction sale, eat lunch and then watch the cows sell. Getting pretty sad around here, middle age cows 5 and 6 months bred are going to slaughter @ 35 - 45 cents. Don't even want to think what calves are doing. :( Anyway, back on topic, I know the uphill walk, seems like it is uphill on the way up and uphill on the way back sometimes. When I was gone 10 or more hours working for a paycheck, lots of things just didn't get looked after as they should or was just left undone. Especially during Mom's last days and then shortly after Dad's. Did lots of feeding in the dark. Then, when I had a day when all the wheels fell off I didn't just loose that day, but several more because I was working during the day and trying to ranch after work. It got so bad that when I woke up in the morning I was instantly POed. Had one of the shortest tempers around and it didn't take much for it to blow. Finally had the courage to let the job go. It's been 3 1/2 years and breaking down cutting hay isn't near the "end of the world" problem that it used to be. For the first year or so after I quit work I had plenty of things to do. The only problem, and it still exists, was everything I did or needed doing also required a substantial amount of materials or parts. Kind of needed to get a job to pay for all the repairs. Anyway, the essential things have been taken care of and now I still try to do at least one small project each day or make progress on a large one. I have to say some days that project is pretty small cause now I also take time to enjoy living a little each day. [/QUOTE]
