Money to buy whiskey to put up with buying parts and kits for the
tractor.
I just unearthed a (unopened) fifth of Beefeaters, (for putting the
yellow raisins into), and read the history on the label about the
Beefeaters. Seems they were the British equivalent of the Samurai.
Ran, and still run, the Tower of London.
Likely there's a similar story about the folks in Scotland and their
Scotch Whiskey. I guess it's natural that elite warriors are strongly
connected with strong drink.
How about this:
Get good tractor.
Plant and harvest grain.
Make good moonshine.
All is well.
