Walked out the back door and went rabbit and pheasant hunting. Trapped muskrats in local streams. I know what you mean about recognizing tracks. Nowadays, I can't really hear humans very well but put me back in the woods and I can still hear a squirrel fart. Not a hunter anymore, I just like being in the woods and along streams and away from cities. Grew up in rural Pennsylvania (they’ve paved it by now) surrounded by farms and fields.

Tell 'em you have a buddy with a really long target range! I'd like an 800 yd range but that's a half-mile of land. A bit much. My land will be 1/4 mile by 1/4 mile (about 440 yds on a side). Oh, yes, I believe I'll be in hog-heaven in about 6-12 months. That's how long it'll take to get the majority of the work done I need to do to make it home. But...I have the rest of my life to enjoy it. I grew up in a semi-rural area and learned tracking and stalking (I never was much on hunting) and trapping. I was a bit stunned when I saw raccoon and opossum tracks out there and recognized them instantly - after nearly a half-century of not giving them a single thought. The old learning is still in my noodle somewhere. Amazing. I wonder if I still remember how to set a proper string snare? I'll try one this winter. Rabbit stew! Thanks, Crank!

You will soon become the landed gentry. I'm jealous because you're doing exactly what I intend to do. Currently living in the city and hating it. Grew up in farm country and have always missed living in the country. I wanna live on a dirt road. You're even building the same ranges I intend to build. I'd like an 800 yard range but I'll settle for 400 yards. Some place for the M14 to do its rock and rolling and some place I can blast Free Bird and no one but me will hear it. Jealous. Jealous. Jealous. But then all those ladies you post actually want me, so I've got that going for me. I'm gonna tell them they're going to have to start leaving a little appreciation on the top of the dresser as they leave. Steamboat, congratulations on the pending purchase of your estate.

Damned right she better go look for your application! Harrumph! The presumption of some folks: What? Did she think you filled out that application just for the fun of it? I think she should go ahead and give you a sign-on bonus. It's only fair. Obviously the owner-lady recognizes superior quality employees! Damned right she better go look for your application!

She is going to hunt for my application in the stack and is supposed to call back to set up an interview after one of her meetings this afternoon. Yeah. We will see. Impressions so far....she has a raspy-smokes-several-packs-a-day-voice and says she's too old 'to be moving a decades worth of shit'. I told her to just chuck all of it. But hey, the place is very close in these high-gassed priced times. Shh…McGoo….the owner-lady of the job she should have given me already, just called.

But when my wiener-growing medicine shows up, we'll see who has the last laugh! I even have a bargain insurance policy on every foot of it already! The paperwork is due to arrive any time now, since my payment check I sent them already cleared. I am soooo envious of your Nigerian deal, Mayor!
