I predict it will be in the "Any and Everything" category, and it will be about how you have decided to become a full time commercial beekeeper.
There will be a picture of you (clean shaven) and in your company uniform, with a clipboard in your hand directing the staff you have hired to accomplish the task of unloading the tractor trailer load of supplies that arrived that morning. There is a newspaper reporter taking notes as you speak of your passion for the art, and how you have missed having bees in your life and that 4 hives just wasn't cutting it.
In the background we see a huge dog pulling a cart of bee supplies proving yet again that this is going to be a family enterprise.
As well, we see a series of old tractors being loaded up onto flat deck trailers. When questioned by the reporter you simply say, "No sense having all that old junk around, they're headed to the auction, I can put the equity in those to use and buy a bunch of packages to get a good start in the spring."

Just a guess!  :)

You crossed the line with that one, Perry.  NO decent redneck will ever be separated from his beloved 50 plus year old tractor.   :o

TOTALLY UNTHINKABLE.

  Indeed! When I read that I was thinking... WHAAAAAT!!??  now, if you had said, the old mowers and hit and miss motors, the Lathes and mills to open space in the garage to store bee equipment etc.. i would have agreed..  I did like the nice touch about the dog pulling the cart..  BUT,
      One more mess up like that we will have to start writing letters to the CRA (Canadian Redneck Association) to complain and have your Redneck status revoked!     :laugh:
