Braveheart I loved your first post. And your explanation above describes my own situation to a tee. When I drive out of my yard in the morning I am hit by a breathtaking view of land and sky. I am the luckiest guy around. I've had the incredible experience of working with my grandfather, father, and sons. I hope to farm with my beautiful little grandson someday. You never know.
I've never had much luck with New Years resolutions although I do love the fresh start it brings.
Keep up the positive vibes.

Reminds me of Donald Sutherlands' character in Kellys' Heroes.
"Enough with the negative waves man!"

You nailed it Farmaholic.

I had to google Napolean Hill. Very interesting. Thanks.

Although, sometimes I feel more like Napolean Dynamite.

Braveheart... Leather Jackets and marketing freedom... doesn't twig a memory???

[Braveheart]

Yes Tom! But I remember that talk in Winnipeg rather than Red Deer. It was 1996 having lunch in the Keg on Garry Street.

[Braveheart]

I remember lots of good talks on achieving marketing freedom. The only pledges in my life though are two, one being the wedding vows made to my wife 371/2 years ago, and the lemon scented Pledge I dusted the man cave with yesterday.

Tstep, can I ask what you're riding? I had a bike until my mid twenties, mostly dirt bikes. I would really like a stripped down cruiser I could build into a bobber.

Bluefargo, you are very lucky to be able to all get along for generations. No two brothers are the same and not all fathers can tolerate the ways of the younguns. Some fathers never let go of the reigns, some sons or daughters are ok with that, others carry a grudge. It would be interesting to hear others opinions about what has worked and what hasn't in terms of what we call comigling of farming generations. I know of a few wives who tipped the applecart.

no rain next year or back to normal rain and lots of big dogs that just came to the game will be gone! were in a wet area and lost the two big dogs this year broad ass and one neck due to flooding issues over the last 8. this is Canada never guess mother nature.

Brave I agree with you its tough for generations.
huts can only go on so long as the young don't want out.
I hope every one has a great 2015.

Good luck with your custom motorbike. Lots around to fix up although lots of guys like Harleys and Triumphs and tend to be harder to find. Actually a tour though neighbours shops/quansets can be among the best places to find gems.

My own resolution is more time on my motorbike. Not likely to get more than 1,000 kilometres outside Alberta but lots of roads I haven't been on yet. As rockpile and I have talked about, the best way to relax. Take it easy though. Those first few rides when you are rebuilding skills are among the most dangerous. I am taking a motorcycle skill refresher course this spring.

Thanks for that Charlie. Yes, my dream bike would be a Triumph Bonnevile. We had a hired man when I was about 12 that rode one out to our farm every day. It was cool red 650.

There are lots of metrics priced right that would make good bobbers as well.

Here in MB, have to take a rider skills course before I get my licence. Probably a good idea.
