Soo.... you bought the farm? You'll be missed...

Just kidding, I'm actually really jealous. Damn. Good for you :)

Not yet - I still have time to change my mind. The papers aren't signed until Monday.

But, yeah... It's as good as done. If I make zero changes to the farm, it'll pay for itself in about 25 years. I won't be alive that long but that's okay. It means I won't have shitty neighbors!

It's huge, too. It's about 4000 acres (which is actually not a large plot here), but two pieces are separate. They board horses, have cows, have some oxen for showing, have various other animals, and have both an indoor and outdoor horse arena. They have trails that they keep maintained and wealthy people pay to ride rented horses on them. They raise some crops to sell at a farmer's market and they sell milk, eggs, and hay. They sell some beef and poultry. They also process animals, including game, for people - as well as hunters who come in to hunt the area.

Most importantly, they have a giant excavator! I'm not kidding. I'm gonna chuck a car with it. Well, first I'm going to do the math and figure out if it's going to break. If it's likely to do serious damage to the equipment then I probably won't chuck a car with it. Probably... I just might get drunk sometime and think it's a great idea.

There's all sorts of trails. You can bring your truck!

Also, do you know anything about restored WWII Jeeps?

Yeah, I've really been wanting to get the truck on some trails now that I've taken the box of the back. I have to wait until I replace the tires because they're all dry rotted but June has 3 paydays so between that and an amended taxes with an additional refund, I should have that taken care of in the next month or so.

I don't know a LOT about Jeeps but I do know that Jeep made my series truck for a while too. I can't imagine that the tech and mechanics are all that different. Why do you ask?
