Been working some contract IT for a student of mine... Also, Been out to Buehler_445's farm, working with his dad. Planting wheat and getting ready for the fall harvest.
Home for a few more days until the weather allows us to start harvest.
I am ready for things to turn around... Wondering if my degree and aviation ratings might be all for naught, if this economy doesnt come back and people dont start hiring pilots. I might be hosed.

Dude, I'm really sorry to hear that. Kind of thought you put yourself in a good position to avoid that. Sometimes ya just never know.
Is Buehler's Dad a custom wheat guy? (does he travel all over to cut?) You can make pretty good dough on those crews. I hope it turns around for you, guy.
