Oh there are some beautiful areas in NY, I just couldn't begin to imagine living in NYC.
Dealing with those banks is a real treat....hope you don't lose your mind.....
I bought three different parcels of land, all within a couple miles of each, close to 250 acres total, for less than 60K.
Yeah that curious annual blight thing here in KY....Howdy peepssome days I feel like an old phart, some a young pup. Less and less of the latter all the time.
It would be nice to live somewhere where my plants don’t die in the winter, I’d have a hard time getting the wife to leave KY.
We haven’t had a real bad winter in a while but the cold still sucks. If it was up to me I’d be in the desert somewhere.
Lived in Kentucky hated it to cold in the winter love living in my home state of Texas even though it's hot in the summer plants still alive. I love the small town I live inHowdy peepssome days I feel like an old phart, some a young pup. Less and less of the latter all the time.

Any winter in Kentucky is a bad winter
It’s home, about all I can say about it. I live near Pikeville in a small town called belfry, up on the top of a hill just us and the dogs. I like the peace and quiet.
Birthday ain't til tomorrow, but thanks.
You would likely miss the green.
Went to Mayo VOTECH with a Guy named Stacey from Belfrey...
on FB. I've only been once, but spent enough time in Florida when I was younger to really be over some of the fascination with beaches. I go to Va Beach in the fall, when the crowds die down, but I go to see and hear water, not to get in it. Almost drowned at Va Beach when I was about 20, got caught in the undertow, and that ended my fascination with being in the ocean.
I miss living with lake front property. I don't miss extreme regulations. I think it's stupid if ya hafta get a building permit for a shed or carport. We didn't even need permits to add on to the house. A home owner's association probably would have not allowed me to put up new siding without kissing their asses first.Sounds a bit like where I live, except I'm in Virginia. On the top of a hill, back behind all the neighbors, in the trees. Just old us and an old dog, and a couple of cats who live outdoors. Can't see the neighbors from either deck, although we can sometimes hear them if they decide to party in the yard when the weather is warm. Eh, they don't do it often. Part of the reason a lot of folks live in the country is that we don't want to have to answer to nosy neighbors for every sound we make, or take some junk for it if we need to work on a car outside. Any more, some of these neighborhoods with homeowners' associations are just over the top with regulations about what a person can do on their own property. I think we are just too uncivilized for all that.
Went to Texas once. The beef barbecue was awesome. I was aggravated at myself afterwards because I was in Dallas with a rental and didn't even think to ride through Dealey Plaza. Actually don't think I left the hotel except to go out to eat that once for barbecue.
Have a cousin who loves Myrtle Beach. Every time I turn around she's posting pics of it, and her own sandy toes
Small world lol
Yeah the privacy and freedom is definitely a plus, if you want to take a piss in the yard you can lol. And I could never live somewhere that tells you what to do with the property you bought and continue to pay taxes on. Seen places with such bad zoning laws you had to get the color and type of siding approved, hell with that.Sounds a bit like where I live, except I'm in Virginia.

Just built a fire pit a couple weeks ago out of an old 24.5 truck wheel and 40$ of block, really enjoying this thing
Went dry due to near by mining/blasting, they set off some shots back in the day that jarred a window unit AC out of the window and even cracked foundation blocks. They’ve cracked down on that type of stuff since, with all the lawsuits and mining accidents like the Big branch explosion, that and 8 years of a Democrat president and EPA regulations closed a lot of mines.
And the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy river runs clearer now than I ever remembered.
The super cell just cleared us and is headed east. Extreme, almost continuous lightning, cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground. Beat the hell out of a nearby hill and Lannie says it struck our property northeast of all our buildings. It was a beautiful light show, but the thunder was nearly instantaneous and very damn loud. The mammatus cloud base was probably only 1500-2000 feet up. Extremely heavy rain (don't have to water the garden for a couple days, but don't know if our veggies survived the downpour).
Undoubtedly. The downrush winds were nasty, but no funnel clouds and no tornadoes (thank dawg).
Thank goodness it wasn't worse. I can remember when I had my 36th birthday. My brother was getting his house renovated, so he was living in an apartment with his family when we stopped by to visit. We saw a funnel cloud as we were pulling up. At the moment we stepped into his apartment, the tornado ripped the roof off the building. The management had to put everybody in hotels.
Most South Dakota tornadoes are east of the Missouri River (center of the state), though that isn't cast in stone. We have lived in this house over 14 years and I have seen only one funnel cloud (appx 10 miles SE of us) and several years ago there was an F3 tornado just north of Faith (about 35 miles east of us).
Mowed about a zillion acres, then that stupid storm ran over the top of us. I was just out looking for cats and there is still an awful lot of lightning out there, but the computers are down here in the dungeon, so I didn't hear the thunder. Almost like a 4th of July light show just to the east of us. Don't know if it will be too wet to mow more tomorrow, but I know the garden needs a lot of attention and my flower beds need some weeding...
Yeah, in our world, I suppose so........
Well, I guess we are both wicked people because... yeah, there's no rest for the Old Pharts. Wait, how's that go again?
It's late, but yeah, something like that.....Well, I guess we are both wicked people because... yeah, there's no rest for the Old Pharts. Wait, how's that go again?
Yeah man coal is nasty, used to have coal/wood heat growing up, wake up dirty lol.
Awesome pics, don’t want to see anything get damaged but love watching a good storm.
Grew up with coal heat as well. Rough on laundry hanging on the line....
