Very nice. I am wondering, how big of a part of your day is occupied by paperwork? I am kind of in the same boat.

Nice beard, Karl! And a good story. It sounds like a great life.

You may be interested in this: I'm taking the test next month to be a licensed pesticide applicator. I have a peach tree (Red Haven Semi-Dwarf), and I'm getting another. The peaches are delicious but the trees are vulnerable to everything. The PhD. pomologist at Rutgers Extension Service said I have a 10% chance of success, unless I get licensed and spray the suckers with chemicals that I can't otherwise buy.

In NJ the commercial peach growers spray 12 times. The Rutgers guy says he's going to help me trim that to 6 times. As a Private Pesticide Applicator, I'll be licensed in NJ to spray anything. Look out!

In MN the private applicators licence is open to anyone willing to take the online test. And you just have to read the attached book for the answers. Even a flaming left winger from KCB can pass!

0, I'm paper work challenged. Now, my better half really suffers. She just spent the entire day yesterday on one form for our government. Then a couple hours early AM today paying bills.

Karl

Well, here they don't give us the answers. I had to buy the book; it's not online.

...

Dang, you didn't take the bait. I'll try harder next time.

Karl

Maybe it will help if you tell me what KCB is.

Cool!!

Nice photo!

"The socialist movement takes great pains to circulate frequently new labels for its ideally constructed state. Each worn-out label is replaced by another which raises hopes of an ultimate solution of the insoluble basic problem of Socialism, until it becomes obvious that nothing has been changed but the name. The most recent slogan is "State Capitalism."[Fascism] It is not commonly realized that this covers nothing more than what used to be called Planned Economy and State Socialism, and that State Capitalism, Planned Economy, and State Socialism diverge only in non-essentials from the "classic" ideal of egalitarian Socialism. - Ludwig von Mises (1922)

Oh Man,

Key Colony Beach

Oh, jeez. Well, when we lived there (early '63), maybe 25 houses had been built, the people were mostly well-off, there was nothing like a "culture" there, and it just didn't relate.

Back at ya'. d8-)

Very nice. Sounds like you enjoy your work. Not many people can say they love thier job.

Best Regards Tom.

Doc says I have a vitamin D deficiency, I bet you will NEVER, NEVER have that problem!

Can't you just hear Karl...."Homemade Apple pie AGAIN, bummer!"

Look up "farmer's tan"

That's a little recognized tax. Forcing people to spend hours on paper work. A burden on the proles.
