Dear Journal,
My wife and her friends researched on my decision and figured out that I will be better off with staying a farmer rather than changing professions. She said that the Hudson’s Bay Company should beat the North West Company eventually and she said that we also may be even better off if I changed to the timber industries. She explained to me that because this is used for almost everything we would get the most money from this. But I think that farming is important too but I will have to discuss this with some of my friends.

Dear Journal,
Will, Cameron, James, Spenser and I have decided that I well we will work part time in the timber industry and the farming industry (yes James’ wife convinced him to quit his existing job). We will tend the farm in the summer and work with the timber industry in the winter. While we are away, our wives will take care of the houses, barns, animals and of course the children. I know I did not write too much but no interesting things have happened.
Wives...PFT! They could be something alright. But they are right, though - I really don't want to pick sides - a lot of people use timber nowadays. But it's amazing how you compromised with them - farming in the summer, timber industry in the winter.
