Ok, where was I, right, job.  Good time to be ranked well with potential
economic downturn everywhere and layoffs in the coming year.  I need to hang
on another year just pay off the truck I just bought and get that new roof up
on the house.  On the good side, opened up the land for new renters and gota
pair of bids for 200 an acre for next year lined up.  That'll pay for my farm
payments + taxes from now on.  Freaking sweet.  I just have to survive a few
more years for the Stock Market to bounce back so I can recover my 401k plan. 
I think I could retire by the time I'm 45-50 if everything works out right
(which they won't) or unless I get married (which seems highly unlikely these
days).  

Anyways, financial, savings are low now, but the future looks good.  Stil
weighing in around 170 mark these days.  Gain a little, lose a little, body
seems happy with this number even if I'd rather I'd be 10 pounds lighter. 
But, I tend to drop weight in winter months due to lack of access to Mom's
cooking and reduced chances of eating out for lunches.  Otherwise, body is
healthy and feeling good.

Congrats to a RL friend on getting engaged last week.  That reduces the number
of single friends by a point, with another getting close to that engagement
stage.  

Last few weekends have been on the farm, getting ready for winter.  Helped
Dave get the last few loads of wood I cut for him all this year.  He got
around 20 trailer loads of wood at 50 bucks a pop from me.  So, I'm on the
credit side of the ledger if I need truck or tractor repairs/parts in the
coming years.  Feels good though to help him out so he can focus on his
starting business and he appreciates my efforts to help him, so it is all
good.

Otherwise, have the American Turkey Holiday coming up tomorrow.  Will
celebrate tomorrow evening with the family.  Was supposed to be Friday at my
house, but my brother has to work now that day, so we moved it up and over to
the parents house for less travel for all involved.

Not much else.  Current farm project is converting an old manure spreader into
a wood hauling trailer.  The spreader was one that Dad couldn't use any
longer.  Got the wheel axle bent back and got the webbing out of it.  Just
need to remove the drive shaft and beater bar, and a little welding to the
axle and I'll be set.

Guess that's about it.  Till next time true believers.  Today's blog brought
