RS,
Long time no see, hows everything with you? You still up in CA ?
Hows the "agriculture" business doing ??
Sharky, buddy, glad you found your way back to us! I'm doing great over here, and although not much has changed, I feel like I'm achieving some sort of existential equilibrium with my life. Like I'm unwittingly learning how to accomplish my goals without creating a negative ripple effect in the rest of my life. It's hard to explain, probably just age, but while I've always delighted in the simple things, I enjoy them more as time passes. I'm also going to be an Uncle for the first time this summer, so being able to see myself as someone that will likely serve as a minor role-model for a new life has been another opportunity for growth.
Business is good, Sharky, with some fresh new developments for this season. California's Supremes struck down the part of the medical marijuana law that controls limits on production because it was too arbitrary, and so we've got a "derby season" now with everybody just trying to grow as much as possible. I'm trying to take advantage of it as best I can, but I can't help feeling nervous that as a one-man show I might simply be unable to increase my own yield sufficiently to deal with the obvious drop in value that increased supply will cause. Only time will tell, but the gears in my mind are certainly turning more than usual.
Other than that, nothing much new. Yet again I'm telling myself that I'll sell this place and move back closer to a city (likely Portland, but possibly Porto, Portugal too) next winter, but who knows. I fear this may be the "grass is greener" syndrome and I'm wary of giving up the tranquility I have here living off the land. It would put me in a much better spot to meet and man and fall in love, though, so maybe it's worth the risk. Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome from you, I think you "get me" better than most.
