I used to have more fun in the politics forum but alas this work/build a stupid hobby farm/raise a family stuff is taking up lots of time.

It really isn't stupid if you really think about it.  What would you rather be doing working on your farm or sitting in front of a computer "talking" to people that you don't really know?

My weekends since the first of the year have been mostly spent on working on the property that we bought, and I wouldn't trade it for time "talking" to people on an internet forum.  I'm a "computer geek" yet I would rather be on my tractor bush hogging, cutting trees down and "trailblazing" through my land while sleeping in a small camping trailer with no internet and no cable television.  My personal "hobby farm" is my getaway and my release from the normal weekly work pressure.

You might want to come and hang out one day and perhaps do some shooting.  I have a little over 35 acres near you (around Keystone Heights).

My late father would've loved you guys. He had a fondness for unusual tractor brands, like David Brown or Kubota, the latter so chosen because Kubota was his grandson's middle name. 

I live on a 41 acre farm purchased by my grandparents in 1944, but carved out of the Tennessee wilderness in the late 1870s by Swiss immigrants. The core structure of my home is a 12' X 22' cabin made from 8" X 12" white oak logs cut from the surrounding property. We talk about clearing land with tractors, bush hogs, chain saws and other powered tools and machines, imagine doing it with oxen/mule/horse pulled implements and cutting lumber and underbrush with axes, sling blades and buck saws.
