farm life all day.

been "stressed out" about how many slash pine roots i have.. they are EVERYWHERE. i don't want to damage my pines, they are beautiful.

soo.. i'm not stressing out anymore. just need to accept it as part of the system & work with it .. so, plan is to dig down far enough to where i get to the roots (2-6"), set the plant's base in there, then surround it with soil (since it'll be above ground level) .. basically need to create mounds, but a bit of a hybrid. that's my theory anyway. Also need to plant more "young plants" (i have tons of older ones in pots) - younger plants can worm their roots around and share the space easier.

i cut through some "distal" slash pine roots to plant things, and it's really stressing me out.. don't want to damage those trees. some are 50+ years old etc, maybe even 100.

i need to dig out some sections to get more "fill dirt", to be used in securing the mounds etc.

such a huge operation .. but that's what i signed up for. hah.

put like 15 plants in the ground this weekend.

^^ first ever sub 16 XC 5k for a h.s. girl. beast.

thanks vag. i wouldn't need a lot of training -- i'm well-qualified and have lots of relevant experience -- but i'd be heading a small team, so the investment is not just in me but in the people who'd be reporting to me as well. so it's not something that i could ethically take if i felt pretty sure i'd hate it, as you say. but i don't think i'd hate it, i just think it's not that exciting. it's a great point about never knowing what's coming, and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

- tennis x one hour
played with my brother, mostly just rallying but i beat him 6-2 in a set at the end. lower back very stiff for some reason. odd.

EDIT: accepted job just now, starting in january. feels like the right thing, i feel good about it.

awesome !!!

EDIT 2: also, just to say thanks again vag and also adarq for your input. it's still wild to me that i have entirely virtual friendships built through this site but there it is. i don't even know what vag looks like. but i definitely trust his advice and that's just cool.

you just forget what he looks like, hasn't posted vids in a long time.

and sure np! before reading that you accepted, I was going to say i'd lean towards taking it as well. To me it sounded like some of the freedom of not working (in addition to personal projects/ideas/being patient) was keeping you away from it (i can related to that 1000%). But once you start back up, you'll probably be pretty happy. From what you told us about it, sounds like a solid opportunity.

sick man congrats!

and regarding virtual friendships, you're always welcome to come hang @ the farm (haha). you know I don't travel much (at all), so if you're ever in the area (SFL) lmk and we'll plant some trees
