Sometimes we take the little necessities for granted. Sometimes I think about what life would be like without electricity, running water, a heating system or even glass windows in a house. Makes me thankful for living in the present day.

I love that I needed proof of address for the bank here to set up an account and all that and and the boss lady said I needed to order something to get something addressed to me.
So I did. $100 worth of cigars. 🤣🤣
She said that wasn't what she meant, but it will work.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

I'm guessing if we can get this property bought in McKenzie, you'll just have to come visit.
Right now we're making an attempt at 30 acres just west of McKenzie.
This property already has power, with a pole, trailer hookups and a 200 Amp service, which would save me a ton.

Nice! Watch the area west of McKenzie, it can get swampy in places. Cottonmouths abound. Eagles, too. Not to discourage you, there's also some very nice spots in the area.

The west area is where this is.
It's before the swamp ares, luckily.
It's on 190 between Gleason and Trezevant.
Fortunately, the fields are the lowest spot on the property and there is a winter weather stream through the property, so the flood plain is pretty good on it.
It also has a pond I gotta clean out.

Excellent! I frequently ride down from Gleason through Christmasville into Trezevant just because I like the roads. 190 runs about 2 miles east of my place, and ends about 2 miles from Faye's house in a town called McConnell. I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, and just a. tip, west of there is Skullbone and Bradford. They used to have concerts at Skullbone, but I don't think they're doing that anymore, if you're driving through Bradford just assume that you're on radar, Milan and Medina too.

I'm hoping that we can work out a deal on this property. It's about an hour drive to my work in Jackson, but will be worth it.
I left Peterbilt and was offered a job at Pepsi as a Senior Fleet Tech for more money. About $1500 more a month.
Working on a fleet of 2 year old trucks will be gravy work.
And since I drink Pepsi, there are added benefits. 🤣

Well, that's legit, isn't it? I mean, if the doctors can't accurately assign the baby's gender at birth, how are the parents supposed to know the name? Maybe it's not the one he was "assigned". Same difference, right?

BTW, if you go from trezevant to Milan and make a left on 45 towards Jackson, there's a little restaurant on the right, about 100 yards from the 70/45 intersection called "Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken ". As I recall, it's well worth the stop.
Luke Bryan made his tour bus stop there awhile back so he could get some chicken.

I'll have to check that out.
Looks like we're back looking though. Bank says the property isn't worth half the asking price, so the only way they will approve the loan, would be for us to put $50k down.
F*** You came out of my mouth before I could stop it.
They don't want to talk to me now.
And now I'm in trouble with Momma, cause evidently, calling someone a stupid cow is unacceptable. Who knew?

My two grandsons (ages 6 and 4) are sleeping over tonight, and we are going to the Pennsylvania Farm Show in the morning. We'll spend most of the day looking at animals and tractors, maybe watching some horse pulls, and eating homemade french fries, chicken sandwiches, funnelcakes, and milkshakes. Looking forward to a great day.
We had a great time, and the best part was the boys got to sit 10 feet away from a momma cow while she gave birth, and the business and was facing them. They watched the entire thing from the emergence of the front hooves to the whole calf coming out, and being cleaned up by the mother. Fascinating.

Having the day off, and work is closed, so there are no worries about something going wrong and getting a call.

I guess this should go here because I/you love tobacco.
Running water, pipes were froze for a few days.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

I am not a fan of tattoos but this is pretty neat
Is that an actual tattoo or is it a patch lying on a tattoo??? That’s some amazing work.

Lee’s is a chain I grew up with in Ohio and there are several here. In my opinion it has always been better than KFC.
