The error of going to the coronation: What did Harry do wrong

In the end, it didn't matter what Harry did.  He flew in for a 24-hour visit to the UK to see his father becoming the king of the United Kingdom.  His gesture was one of conciliation in a family that basically hates his guts, and that of his wife.

I did read his book, it was interesting in a kind of weird way.  What was amazing is how he and his brother were treated differently. On the bright side, Harry was able to become a real soldier, unlike the rest of his family, for a short period of time he had a real job.

Harry arrived Friday morning and Saturday afternoon around 4 pm he was gone.,  Yet the anti-harry bunch was going after the guy.  He arrived Friday, went to bed, and went to a coronation.  That's it, he spoke to only a few cousins and said very little, but the press does love drama, and made shit up.  He was right to go home ASAP.

The thing about this; is the best the press could do was to get a lip reader...he made zero press comments he arrived quietly smiling at his father's coronation and left equally quietly a few hours later.  That he did not join the family made sense, it's like going to a wedding when you are estranged, nothing good can come out of it, you go to the church but skip the reception.

Harry has made a life of sorts in the US, his book (maybe even books) has been a best-seller, it is eminently readable and generally funny.  which is not something you can say about the royal family and its hangers-on.  The truth is that the "royal press" still found bad things to say about Harry and Megan when he went out of his way to be "out of sight", of course, he was in the third row with Andrew and his children who are as far from the royal family as is possible, plus Harry rented his cottage to one of his cousins (until his father decided that is should go to his disgraced uncle Andrew).  I sure hope that Andrew paid the Stg 7 million to Harry and Megan that they invested in the place...but no one is holding their breath.

Harry doesn't need the royal family, his Netflix deal and his book deal should ensure that he and his wife are fine for the next 50 years -- after all, he knows how his great-uncle lived in Paris for all these years!  In addition, what Harry has done for injured servicemen and women with his Invictus games cannot be taken away, and is a real thing with real benefits to servicemen and women across the commonwealth and beyond.

The desperation of the British press to find bad things to say about Harry, who was by the way, all smiles the day of the coronation, and even made a "hi" signal to his brother...really the only people who look like morons here are the royal courtiers and the British press that would find something bad to say about Harry when he said absolutely nothing to anybody during his stay... a bunch of fucking hypocrites

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b) ground beef requires process

21st century milk parlour

When we first looked at building our farm in 2018, we made a few money-saving decisions, the most important is that we purchased our milk herd from a retiring farmer and we also purchased his milking parlour equipment.  It was the right decision at the time.  The equipment dates from around 2004/05 and was perfectly serviceable, our installers replaced some tubing but otherwise, the milking parlour was in good shape.  It is a mature technology. Now, we are building a brand new milk parlour because our milking cows are moving from the old farm to the new farm.  So we are looking at brand new equipment this time because, after 20 years of daily service, the old cattle parlour's systems need to be replaced.  Fear not it will not be destroyed instead good chunks will end up on Facebook's marketplace and be sold to other farmers for spare parts or expansion of their current systems. All our cattle are chipped, nothing unusual there, we have sensors throughout the farm, and our milki

So we sold surplus electricity one time last summer...(Update)

I guess that we will be buying an additional tank for our methane after all.   Over the past few months, we've had several electricity utilities/distributors which operate in our region come to the farm to "inspect our power plant facilities, to ensure they conform to their requirements".  This is entirely my fault.  Last summer we were accumulating too much methane for our tankage capacity, and so instead of selling the excess gas, that would have cost us some money, we (and I mean me) decided to produce excess electricity and sell it to the grid.  Because of all the rules and regulations, we had to specify our overall capacity and timing for the sale of electricity (our capacity is almost 200 Kw) which is a lot but more importantly, it's available 24/7, because it's gas powered.  It should be noted that the two generators are large because we burn methane and smaller generators are difficult to adapt to burn unconventional gas, plus they are advanced and can &qu
