Yep, nice story. There's a song out now, a girl singer says, "I know a few things a man should know". Sounds like your daughter is that gal.

Yep, she has a way with people, and a way with business that keeps her in good standing in the community.

Another hobby story.
Tomorrow we are putting on a sleigh ride for our music group. An old trucker friend has some draft horses and a people rack on a sleigh, so we invited him to come to our house and give us a ride. He jumped at the chance, only if he and his wife could stay for the evening and listen to the music. Win, win.
So I had to make some trails. In some places the snow is too deep and in some it's not deep enough. There was also a creek to cross that hasn't had a tractor crossing it in over forty years. I tried to fill the creek in with melting snow but I got stuck in there once. I shoveled my way out and used some hydraulic tricks. As I was pushing more snow in to the creek I caught the corner of the blade on an unseen stump and broke the pole off. So today, I was fixing and welding that dang pole up.
The welding may not be another hobby, but the music night and the sleigh ride are.

Mac: Do you ever stop to eat or sleep. You have an awful lot going on.

You guys would laugh out loud if you realized that your violently exaggerated interpretation of my pursuits, was in your imagination. I have never been a fast mover and now there's some more slowness creeping in, due to age.

Thank you for your imagination.

Well, Dutch, watching you work tin, certainly humbles me, so there.

On another note, here's the group loading up for the sleigh ride.
