ok, counter offer signed and faxed... if they say yes, we close at the end of May, and from what I heard, I think we are going to shake on it, and I'm going to be lucky as hell I got an exit when I did.
>FarmsYeah, I hear you. I like them. Wouldn't mind having some acreage. Just land even, as a longterm investment. Not sure if I want to live on a commercial farm again. I did once in Idaho, on a potato farm... also know to Fly Fisherman as Mecca, aka 'Silver Creek Preserve':
...I actually lived in that trailer for 6 months, moved to Alaska for a year, then into that cabin for a year. This one had running water and 2 rooms so it was really a step up for me and dog:)
Speaking of $50k, I've seen foreclosures down here for that amount. For 100+ you can find a 1 br extremely close to the beach, if not in a building on the beach (but not ocean view.) Granted, these places need redone, but so what. Order a new kitchen from Directbuy, and deck the place out so that it's nice as hell. When it's that small, it's worth it.
So nobody liked my boat idea? My girl want's to become a captain and said she'd like to live on a boat. I honestly think she'd hate it. Hard to say, because she did pretty well camping last year in CO for a week. Last time I was on a 50' boat, SEGuru and I were coming back from Bimini in an epic storm. We both thought we were going to die. Lashed ourselves to the boat with life vests and storm gear, while the others stayed below. The boat was below the horizon at times, pure white out, smack dab in a shipping lane, with huge freighters that blasted right by us that we could only hear but knew if they smashed us they'd never even feel it.
This was us coming into Bimini...
....hehheeheheh never do a deep water storm passage again:)
