Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a paid vacation? Which means you are getting PAID to shovel manure! Where do I sign up?! ha ha.

If I want to leave home for more than 24hrs I have to hire two hands. How's that for paid vacation.

Don't forget your sunblock!

All I can say is WOW! Judgeing from the amount of manure I can move in an hour 2 weeks worth must be a LOT of manure.

I often take time off to get things (usually the larger, harder tasks) done around the farm instead of "having fun". Just the way it is. Sometimes I push it so hard on these "working vacations" to finish the list of things that I have assigned myself, that I crash after 3 or 4 days and have to lay around for a day to get my energy back up. Just try to work a couple of off farm fun things in even if it is just a day or two of your vacation, otherwise you might get grouchy... (ask me how I know!) Or see if you can con a buddy into coming and helping, even if they just stand around and talk, it sure makes the hard jobs better. Oh, and make sure to enjoy some good food and adult beverages at the end of each day, something you would have on an ordinary basis... Two weeks is nice though, you should be able to get a lot done, I haven't taken two weeks off in 7 years. If you haven't already, read the "Extreme Composting" thread for motivation!
