rwanda!

I'm heading off to Rwanda tomorrow morning for a long four-day weekend of not hearing, smelling, or dreaming about any pigs whatsoever. All the pigs I will see will be in my excel files, as I update our stock movements, profitability models and cash flow. But I can handle that. There's a sizable difference between the squeal (shriek) of dragging 140kg pigs into a small weighing cage and finding out just which weekend we'll be slaughtering pig 5s1cb1. Actually, that pig isn't born yet, but soon.

Is it bad that an ideal vacation for me actually includes a weekend on my computer? Let's be serious though, it'll be me on my computer by a pool sipping a fruity drink with my shirt off in the sun. That' pretty nice. Even if I am ordering (literally putting in order) the deaths of hundreds of pigs.

The farm is in the same state of flux it's been for a while now, since we've gotten the big things handled but still have a mountain of small things left to work on. Maybe more flux now that we have new personnel on the farm. But the fun in it all is that while we'll never have this thing down tight, we're improving all around, and eventually we'll be scrambling but we'll see that we've reached our goal.

That'll be a nice day. Hopefully a lot like tomorrow.
