Time

The wife and I are buying a farm from this fellow who is doing most all of the necessary legal paperwork & legwork from his end. Of course, all of this necessarily takes a certain amount of time.

I can't believe at the age of 60 that I actually want time to pass a little quicker!

And another thing, why the heck are we buying a farm at our age anyway? That's just plain nuts!

I'm sure I'm in need of therapy or some such thing! :>)

Ya'll have a good day out there in tractor land!

Word of advice though? When you hang that ol' tractor tire from the tree, it's for the grand and great-grand kids to swing from, not you. Dang rope breaks, it sure hurts more than it used to, and it's a little harder to get up, and I'm only 45.

Boy! I hope in my heart of hearts that you are just joking around here, right? You’re just kiddin' around with me, aren't ya? :>)

Now, I sure don't know what's right or wrong and whoa be it for me to be giving out any advise to anyone else ‘cause I, of all people, have made such a mess of my life. And I sure don't wanna come off sounding as if I’m preaching a darned sermon.

But, if you are really serious in what you say, I gotta tell you that you are walking in a den of sleeping rattlesnakes, you will most definitely trip, fall and they are all gonna wake up a spittin’, a hissin’ & all maddern’ he!!.

I've been where you are and darnit, I've also been where you are heading and believe me my friend, I cannot emphasis the fact strongly enough, that you just simply do not want to go where you are heading.

When that tree branch finally snaps and breaks (and it most certainly will), all directions are down.

All those happy friends will desert you in a heartbeat, the wife will dump you so fast it'll make your head spin and make no mistake about it, that happy, grinnin’, boozin’ banker friend of yours will turn on you like a pit viper just to save his own skin.

Everything you hold near and dear to you will vaporize into thin air and it will literally leave you standing out in the cold wondering what in the he!! happend.

I just got back from an unscheduled trip to the Black Forest. Stay the heck outta there, ‘cause it 'taint any fun by anyone’s definition!

I know, I sound like a stupid old man; but that booze just ‘taint the answer, believe me.

Just for what it is worth,

Allan

Yes Sir. The wife and I can now give directions to every farm on every county road in three ajoining states, but we have now found, what we think, is the perfect place for us.

Oddly enough, and as it turned out, this particular farming couple contacted us, so go figure.

Will post more when the deal is done. In the meantime, we sit here waiting, holding the piggy bank in one hand and the hammer in the other.

Sure hope we are doing the right thing, :>(

Rusty is right! Or as Mitchissippi once said, after he and his wife went to a some kind of art exhibit, he came home and "got on the bushhog to reflect."

Buy your land and enjoy. Country living seems to slow life down to a very enjoyable pace for me.

Sold some pasture land to a fellow who kept saying he was getting too old to be buying green bannas. He is 66 now and the land and the cattle keep him from fighting with his wife and beating his grown up kids.
