Going dim for a while

Awesome!

There are somethings which defy explanation. I think we are driven to be stewards of the land by some primordial urge. I keep a garden in my yard--and I keep telling my wife it's not big enough. But a farm? Well, my urges aren't *that* big!

Thank you for the work you've done. Enjoy your time off--we'll miss your TFS/Team System updates!

Brian, you've earned this time off and it sounds like you have the perfect plan in mind to enjoy it. People are different and some don't like this kind of work, but there's nothing like working outside if you do enjoy it. Have a great two month sabbatical sir!

Very jealous! It's something that I would love to do also. Unfortunately working in London kills that dream for now. Maybe one day when I'm living elsewhere.

Have a good one.

That's just cool! I want a farm (actually my dream is a Buffalo ranch... so yeah I hear you, I can't explain it either...)

Good luck and we'll be here when you get back :)

Dude that is awesome! You live in a beautiful part of the country. I can see how you could fall in love with a farm.

I am completely jealous. With all of that space think of the woodshop you could build. Have a great vacation, hope we don't see you around here too much.

I have no problem understanding why you'd do this, who WOULDN'T want to do it. Have fun! ... but not too much fun, we need you back.

We all will miss your post for sure, but, damn, what a nice thing to do.

Good luck !!!!

I've always said that when I'd have the opportunity I'd start either a farm or a restaurant. It would be great to hear from you if a farm is really as good as it sounds ;-)

Stanley Goodspeed: How do you... do it?

John Mason: I was trained by the best. British intelligence. But in retrospect I would rather have been a poet. Or a farmer.

Stanley Goodspeed: Okay.

My uncle is an international airline pilot and he did the same thing (only in Albany, Australia). He is away for most of the year and my aunt runs the place with a little help from my cousin. They absolutely love it and when the calving season starts my uncle can talk about it for ages.

God bless

Suddenly the song "How ya gonna keep'em down on the farm" comes to mind.

Congrats Brian and I hope you this venture allows you to enjoy life to it's fullest.
