glad to hear that you find something of interest on our forum. I feel I have learned quite a bit from the various patrons over the years and hope to learn even more.

I was saddened to hear that Robert Short's health is failing. It reminded me of the frailty of the body but I hardly needed reminding since my body tells me about it almost every hour of every day. I'm just grateful that most of my systems are working as well as they are after all these years.

I'm wondering, do you trade hogs or raise hogs? We have some of both as patrons. I suspect there are more traders than producers but I may be wrong.

I hope you have had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend and are ready for the work at hand starting tomorrow.

Best wishes,
