A Time to Reap
It seems as though everything I was waiting for last week is here this week. Parts for the Honda, the Ducati, the Morini; the tractor, the toaster, and now a job interview that I never expected to get in the first place. The interview is something of a long shot, but it is worth it. One of these days I may have to decide between (a) a "straight job" where the pay is good and I can save us about $500 / month on health insurance, create and fund a retirement plan, and have the kind of stable income which makes it possible to fund the creation of the studio out back and (b) a flunky-type job where the benefits are non-existent, the pay crap, the hours long, the emotional involvement and stress high, and I really love what I do. My modus operandi is typically to take the first somewhat attractive offer, ie one that gives me marginally better employment than what I had before.
The tractor is super. I tilled up the main irrigation ditch just for fun. It can get a little squirrely when it rides on the tiller blades though. Took me for a ride once. The chipper attachment is harder than the tiller to get on and off the tractor, but it does a super job on the brush pile stuff. I have not tried mulching leaves yet, but they are falling at a prodigious rate and whatever little sticks I throw in the hopper appear to get mulched in short order.
