Ya'll got along jus' fine without me. Some good thoughtful posts, some reasonalble discourse and the usual stuff a sane person wouldn't put their real name too.

Thank the Lord we mostly use Avatars.

Where I have been is in God's country taming nature and pissing off the tree huggers. It's around Branson/Springfield MO. (one of the 10 best places in the world to live BTW even if it doesn't make the "wealthiest" list).

Crumpy and I bought a piece of worthless rock (80 Acres) and are homesteading it for our retirement. Got the blisters and sore bones to prove it. I do love working the land.
We cleared about 5 acres of brush and trees and planted pasture grass in about 10 altogether. Diesel generator ran most of the week along with the gasoline powered Brush cutter and my 1939 Ford 9N tractor. Next spring we get some Methane producing beef on the place.

thanks for askin'
