Big event for the family was Rhoda's Graduation on Sunday and Larraine's Recognition Ceremony last Friday. My two favorite ladies did really well in their academic fields. I so proud of them.
I attended the Farm Plan Development Training at the university this past Monday. The seminar session was geared more to those farmers who have Chamorro Land Trust Commission property leases. I do not have a lease. I am a property owner. Also the information they were presenting, I already know. So I used the event as a venue to network. Next class sessions are on April 5th, 7th, and 12th.
I'll be going back to school this summer to finish off my university degree in Agriculture. I have a couple of semesters left, maybe 3 more. I'll be taking an Industrial Safety and some welding classes as well, this summer. The welding skills will help me on the ranch tremendously. I can make cages and heavy duty livestock fencing for the ranch. Also, I'll be able to weld the fence posts corners, that I'll be putting up latter in a couple of weeks. I really want to finish this degree, more for self-fulfillment than anything else. I don't like leaving things undone. I have always finished what ever I started. But when it comes to college, it seems I'm on the long track.
I maybe called to work with a company that I had applied with a couple of months ago. I was looking forward to working for this company since they were willing to give me a chance. But they are just taking to long to call me. I understand the management is looking for knowledgeable employee manager types. I would have held out for them.
However, I have not just been sitting around by the phone waiting for the first potential employer to call me. I have also been working to get back into business. I looked at various business opportunities and models and niches. I believe I have found one a couple of months ago. Getting started was not easy due to lack of capital to fund the start up of my new business venture. With Rhoda's Nursing studies as a priority, allocating funds was not feasible during that time. I had to patiently wait. Now, I'm excited being at the crossroads at this moment. We will what happens.
I am ordering some day-old egg-layer chicks for the ranch this month from the feed store. I am looking to acquire some Buff Orpingtons, Plymouth Barred Rocks, and Rhode Island Reds in that order. Also, I will be getting Muscovy Ducks again. I want to get some meat chickens, Mountain Cornish, for this year. I know I'll have to order those chicks from Hawaii.
