Thanks for crunching the numbers, Northy! My brain is mush at the moment, but I'm going to try to do this on this farm and SL's.

So yesterday, after not getting any better for a week, DH took me to immediate care. I have a sinus infection and am now on anti-biotics. Do y'all remember when DH got the sinus infection when we were in Arizona a couple years ago. We had taken our van down there as this was before we got the truck and I don't drive the van. Only DH drives the van (it's apparently a guy thing). So now I know just how sick he was and he drove 2000 miles home this sick! I couldn't drive to the grocery story right now and it's two blocks from the house.

 

I am sorry to hear you are suffering a sinus infection and hope you heal quickly...but I gotta say PrairieMaiden23 you are a great story teller.

As always, Thanks Northy I have a few days left to play will give it my all.

 

Thank you, Northy, for the beautiful chart!

@PrairieMaiden, hope you have a fast recovery and wish everybody good luck!

 

Thanks @Nordais for the kick-off, I am in.
@PrairieMaiden23, hope you get well soon!

 

PM/SL - I hope you feel better soon!

Northy - thank you for getting the event thread started

 

Lets hope the antibiotics kick in fast! Just take the time to rest.

 

Thank you nordais

 

Thanks Nordais for your excellent charts!!! So very helpful!!
PM/SL - Hope you feel better soon.

I'm in...but whoa that's a lot event crops on 2 fields plus trees for drops!

 

Thanks Nordais as always for your time and effort on our behalf! I will attempt to do the whole event as usual and
see how far I can get! Don't forget to put your "Howies out" Good luck and Happy Farming!
PM23 I hope your sinus infection clears soon and you can feel better!

 

What would I do without Nordais doing all the hard work, calculations and easy to understand charts- thank you. I will go for this as the cloud row looks good with less than 24 hours cooldown.

 

Thanks, Northy. Your charts and information are truly awesome and as others have already mentioned, truly help us. Sincerely appreciate your time and effort Good luck to all those participating and I shall send you drops, but will skip the event myself.

For my friends and neighbors, I shall give this a skip, so please do not send me any drops but rather give to those participating.

 

The event is Bad.
Worst Event Ever!
I'll ignore it.
​

Fine Print: I last ignored an event, Xmas 2011!

 

Thanks, Nordais, for all your hard work.

Of course, I am in! Will attempt to do it all but will work differently, get all the stuff needed before starting to donate (a nod to Sanddollar 15 there!).

PM: Sorry to hear you are still poorly, let's hope those antibiotics kick in quick.

 

Thank you Nordais for your hard work again! This looks too difficult for me so I'm out of trying to obtain the cloud row- will get the low level rewards as I can with some effort but not stressing this time.

 

Thanks, everyone, for the get well wishes! They must be working, because this morning I can talk. Well at least there's something that resembles my voice coming out and not so much a mostly dead frog croaking.

I put in amaranth and put out all the howies yesterday so in a few minutes will know how well that worked for advancement of drops.

I wish everyone good luck at the party wheel...we all need a 200% bonus to kick start this thing!
