Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Over the years I've seen mice, a couple rats, some possum, and one large mean racoon. Oh and the neighbor's cat. Not zackly wilderness but I've seen a couple of coyotes cruising down the street in front of the house ...

That's pretty awesome Tim - though mowing your yard looks like a nightmare.

Wife and daughter knock out the "house yard" in a couple hours on a 60" hydrostat riding mower.....







I mow the runway "yard" in just under two hours using a 1941 Ford 9N pulling a PTO driven 72" finish mower coupled with an auxilary 60" wide offset finish mower with it's own engine out back.... Beer helps

Ha ha..... you are right. In fact our local highschool football team got knocked out late in the state playoffs this year by Hicksville. I live in the same part of the state, but I am closer to Toledo (about 25 miles as the crow flies). The area I live in is all flat farm land divided up by mile square roads. The scenery is pretty bland, but I would not trade the seclusion and freedom of doing what I want to do on my own property for anything. At 45 y/o, I do not think I could stand living in a city, town or subdivision ever again (fortunately my wife feels the same way ).

Tim,

Grew up in Grabil, In. We used to drive over the line to Hicksville and drink 3.2 beer at a place called "The Palace". Damn that was fun but now that I am older I wonder how the hell we made it home each night!!!

Moved south a long time ago..... decided I liked salt water better than corn and soy beans!!!

MJC.

That is an awesome view!!! Looks like a good place to own a snowmobile.

I wish we had some of that weather here.... We got maybe an inch of snow a couple days ago and the pond froze over.... Today it was around 40 and it all melted again. This winter sucks!!! I want snow damnit!
