Farm and work duties.

  1. I've noticed while reading through some of the Survey results that my absence has not gone unnoticed. A little while back I talked with IceCreamCow about stepping down as a moderator because I have a small hobby farm and work full time on Air Traffic systems so I find myself swamped in the summertime. We agreed that I should stay on as a moderator if I had plans to return to full time moderator duties when my workload decreased. I have every intention of doing this.

    For those who have noticed, thanks for your concern and for noticing. I'm glad that my efforts here were appreciated. I still stop by the forums at least every 2 days to check messages and take care of any mod business that you fine folks send my way. Mostly it's my playing time that has taken a hit.

  6. It isn't enough for my wife and my desire to remain happily married exceeds my desire to play MC.

  15. We have a few LaMancha dairy goats (just for personal consumption and for making soap, yogurt, and cheese) and some chickens. We also have a decent garden that is roasting in our 100 degree Fahrenheit, rainless weather; and a several acre pasture for the goats. Our horse died from old age early this year and I had to rent a mini excavator to bury her.

    We sold our goat's milk soaps under the name Woodland Soap, LLC for awhile, but never came close to a return on our money investment, not to mention the major time investment so I let the LLC lapse. I still technically have a website at www.woodlandsoap.com but I don't maintain it any longer and disabled the links for actually purchasing product. We also have a page on Facebook for Woodland Soap. It's something I'd like to do again some day but I work full time for the Federal Aviation Administration maintaining radars, radios, automation systems, computers and networks, and multiple other Airway Transportation systems. My wife is a full-time student working on her business degree (and using her GI Bill from her 6 years as a Navy Corpsman). And we are also full-time parents of two boys (5 & 6) who my wife homeschools (for now).
