Resolutions for the New Year?

[burnt]

To try to be close to the man my dad and grandpa were that worked incredibly hard to build a piece of what we have today
Was a tough day today to deal with but thankful for what was worked for .
Happy New Years to all and hopefully 2022 is better in all respects for everyone

All are different in their responses to losing someone close. When I lost my Mom and Dad, one thought that was a bit challenging - it was that there was no longer anyone older "at the helm". Our generation was now "guiding the ship". (Please pardon the cliches, but they simply depict the feeling)

There is a diminishing of the pain, but the sense of loss - not so much, even after 25 years. In those years since, I can't count how many times I wanted to pick up the phone and ask, or tell, my parents something.

And the strongest compulsion of all, after all these years of separation, is that I wish I could plunk our grandchildren onto my parents' laps and have them fuss over the lil rascals. I know they would just simply absorb these wee ones into their lives and pour into them.

At times that sense creates a literal ache inside...

So perhaps in light of that reality, I can resolve to be more of what my parents were to me.

But I guess you already said that, furrow...

Almost no masks in Las Vegas for parade, but New York last night mostly masked.

Old Butch loves to talk about his son that travels with the PM.
Have to respect that.

His son gave that up and is back on the force in Alberta

To embrace Trudeau as our supreme leader.

Enjoy life it’s to short to worry about shit you can’t control.

Not anymore, I grew up 6 miles north one mile east of Whitewood, mom a dad are still on the farm, dads 90 so he’s not doing much farming it’s mostly rented out.

Anyway I’m approximately 35 miles south of Belle Plaine in the dirt hills, dad was a little miffed when I bought the in-laws ranch and told me I’ll never make a living on that dried out god forsaken hilly rocky treeless place. Anyway I’m not doing too badly out this way but it definitely isn’t as easy to eke out a living as back home.

CASEIH I kinda assumed you were farming way up north, you know what they say if a person does assume.

No I got mixed up with that little lake north of green water lake
I am indeed between Arborfield and carrot river
30 miles from the end of the farmland

Most resolutions will dry up faster than most crops did in 21.

Find a place in the world that isn’t on track to turning into a shithole like Canada is doing, and buy some property there….just in case. Then start working on citizenship to said country.

Starting the New Year on such a bitter note, not the best way to start the year as you still have 364 days to go.

So which country in this vast world is worthy enough to call you a new citizen?

I’ve heard of a round lake up north but never seen it on a map.

Just before Christmas I was organizing some old papers and filing them. My bill of sale for my holiday trailer was in the pile. I didn’t realize I had bought it in 2016. Why this surprised me was I don’t think I have used it more than 3 or 4 times since I bought it. So my New Years resolution would be to take some time off and use the trailer. Not getting any younger.

I see no one wished the fertilizer retailer a happy new year !

It was a happy new yr alright!

I bought the company 4 new loaded 4x4 diesel trucks of their choice on the 30th.

To buy more cool toys to enjoy life..
It's going by faster than anyone realizes..

I did that in September 2021 . Was a 20+ year search , and yes it may be foolish to some , but not all of your assets need to be on a spreadsheet . I had a 68 Torino in the early 90's , and regretted selling it in 2001.

I farm/raise cattle to help provide for my family , but this is what makes me tick !
