one night out of the week just for gaming

Whoa. Nice.

I can barely grow tomatoes and squash. What are you farming?

Mostly trees, red pine to be specific. We have bees as well. And veggies of course, mostly tomatoes, squash, and herbs. No farm animals and nothing too high maintenance (thankfully).

It's 200+ acres which is kind of overwhelming, and not as cool as it sounds as most of it is forest. I took a walk for about an hour the other day and suddenly thought to myself "Well shit, I haven't even left the property yet".

Jeez a loo, that's awesome. I have a little over a third of an acre, and it took my wife and I over 5 hours just to rake the property yesterday.

With all that land, have you ever thought about starting an apple orchard? Even as a kid I've always wanted to retire to a place with a ton of land and open some type of farm. I own a few acres of land that's used for timber, but 200 acres is like a small town; and that's really awesome.

Apple orchard is cool idea, but I don't know the first thing about the business. I want to expand the beekeeping eventually. My wife wants to open an ARCADE.

Oh, I have no idea either how to start an orchard, but I know a few people who have them. From what school taught me you just eat apples and spit out the seeds while wearing short cut jeans and a pot that sits on your head sideways on your head and "Voila", you got yourself an orchard.

But yeah. Go with your wife's idea of an arcade.

I'm never really away from gaming, as I've always got a handheld of some sort at close call. I stick in a couple of hours a night, if I can. The other half enjoys a little gaming too, so there's that.

My gaming time is usually on the weekends mostly due to work and other stuff going on during the week. I try to get in a few hours each night but it's becoming harder to find time.

Might just be who I am, but plants are way freaking harder than animals. Just me though. Ranching my whole life might skew my view.

I play when there is nothing on TV and I have spare time. So a LOT... FOREVER ALONE.

You must have some special skill that lets you bond with animals quickly. (About the only time anything on four legs liked me was in Harvest Moon.)

Also, I totally missed the part of the original post where... time apart from your family for gaming? Wait, why aren't you trying to corrupt everyone around you to game more?

I usually game in the week rather than the weekend strange as that sounds. I work 7-3.30pm and the better half works until 6 so I tend to get an hour or two in before she comes back. Although after getting her a Wii she will pop that on and I'll do some web design if there is nothing on TV.
Weekend is normally spent cleaning, shopping, watching footie or X Factor (fml).
