Lol.
I ended up buying tools.
Three bolt bins for the shop and a big pile of Ryobi cordless tools. His batteries are shot but mine are working good. Now I have a set of cordless tools I can use for farm stuff and I won't cry if they get dropped in a puddle.
Busy again today.
Went to see our accountant again for some clarification on getting our business running.
Stopped at the irrigation shop to buy discharge line for my pump. Now I can pump water from the dugout to the tank.
Bought the electrical supplies to power the pump sub-panel from the grow house. 150' of 10/4 cable set me back $600+
Stopped at the seed supplier and picked up my seed potatoes and onion sets.
Bought a walk behind garden seeder while I was there. This opens a furrow, drops a seed at a predetermined spacing and depth, then closes the furrow after. Beats doing it by hand.

Picked up my new rototiller. This should work much better.


Got home and met with my neighbor who rents 30 acres from me to sort out our arrangement for this year.
Got a call from the city water people about our water line. Now that the mess with the previous owner is done. It turns out that I need to pay $400 per year for the connection, even if I don't use it.
If I don't pay the maintenance fee, they have to come dig it up and cap it. If I want it put back, it's about $20k to put it back in.
If I use city water, it will be another $1600 per year minimum.
Looks like they've got me. A city water line adds a lot of value to the property, plus if my well has problems in the dead of winter, I'm going to have do dig through a few feet of snow to find it, then try to fix the problem at -30c. If I have the water hookup, it's a phone call and a couple days to make it work again. Then I can fix the well in the summer.
$400 yearly it is. -sigh-
More work tomorrow.
