I'm doing fine, as are Sammy and Leila. Leila is still anti-social with Sammy, and that really bothers him...he wants to play and she is a bitch to him hissing and rearing up. And he never seems to learn, or maybe he doesn't like her and just wants to agitate her. She still has occasional issues with peeing when she is fast asleep and totally relaxed, and we have done all that we can. The vet can only suppose that there was nerve damage when she was shot as a kitten because we have treated the infection and there are no longer crystals forming with her special food. It is not behavior related, since she is very good with the litter box all the time. So there isn't much else it can be. Not easy to live with.
Hope that all is well with you and business is going good.
As to the bird food, you don't want to use cheaper seed anyways, since it usually means a lot of waste and that makes a bigger mess. Then again, I wonder if the raccoons would eat the crap seed that the birds throw down on the ground. It wouldn't hurt to experiment with that.
