Not to be captain obvious but didn’t you just buy a couple large material purchases? Edit: just ran across your other post, still keeping the house up north? You spoke of selling that a year or so ago.
Guilty for sure, almost a sickness.Don, you are thinking about selling the Farm?
Saw that in the other threads. You can always upgrade it with the Kubota. You have the big stuff done and with the right attachment it will do almost anything.
Just what I need right now. Ken, we are practically neighbors!

How much stuff do you have?A Short CIEMR by Don HarwardWhen you have stuff, you spend a lot of time keeping it protected, serviced, repaired, up to date, painted, properly groomed, lubed and tuned. We sacrifice for these things, we accumulate things, we use and wear out and replace and upgrade. And we think and worry, and plan for even more acquisitions.And all the while sunsets and sunrises that are magnificent go unnoticed. Roads go untraveled. Friends move into forgotten corners of our busy lives, and life becomes more about paying for, paying off, working, competing at the workplace, and accumulating wealth, while we keep missing birthdays, and anniversaries. Instead we score on a deal for some piece of junk that will rest in some corner of your cluttered garage and never fulfil your vision for it.We stop hiking, canoeing, skiing, riding, sightseeing, trail riding, and miss a thousand cool places to stop and eat and meet other people. We are not available to have chats and moments with our children, wives and husbands, aunts and uncles, and some of them pas on to eternity leaving us with regrets.There is a price to be paid for having wealth and things, and many will not learn of it until the long years of life have produced wisdom for some that will only echo millions of missed opportunities.We become slaves to our possessions, and I for one am going to become a bit less enslaved!

Its how YOU/WE are wired, its what made you an exceptional aviator to never quit to always never stop flying the aircraft no matter how bad things got because you are the PIC. I think its also some level of enjoyment/satisfaction of doing the job making it how you want it, just think all the time you are in a situation saying to yourself "this would be really cool if" its a never ending cycle. its also the people you meet the experiences you gain and the knowledge you can give to someone else.I learned very young you either have LOTS of TIME or MONEY and NO TIME to spend it. Then if you do spend the money you have no time to enjoy what you bought or there are changes you want to make . Even if you buy it there will ALWAYS be something you want to change or add.
Doesn't the post office have one of those If-it-fits-it-ships boxes?
