Excellent. Thanks, AJ. I need to get out of the country more often...g

My parents grew up on subsistence farms, and they pretty much lived the way you described. My mom told me she didn't remember getting bathed in anything other than spit until she was about 10. My dad told me that if at the end of harvest season they were able to put $500 in a tin can under the house, they considered it a good year. But that was 70-80 years ago.

Three thousand bucks seems like nothing now.
