Latestarter's ramblings/musings/gripes and grumbles.

Am I the only one who loves that winter (with frozen ground) is a built in excuse to, for once, NOT work on fencing?

Happy to hear all is moving along. Yes pictures! Oh and have you decided which animals are arriving first? Goats... It's gotta be goats.

Latest update... Closing is set for next Wednesday 10/12/16 at 9am. Everything that needs to be done has been done. Anything that could potentially derail this has been rendered moot. I have reviewed the closing disclosure (used to be called a HUD1 form) and all is as it should be. Effective next Wednesday I will once again be a home owner... This time with 19 acres and lots of work to do . I have heard from the internet provider and installation is scheduled for Monday, so no more driving up to the best western for free WiFi... I'll be paying for internet, but no driving involved. My DirecTV is up and operational and not surprisingly there are 100+ channels of crap that I have zero interest in, 50+ channels showing movies they want me to pay extra to see, and the stuff that I am interested in is primary on a loop, repeating endlessly. <sigh> At least I'll now be able to watch my Patriots play every week... the one highlight to having this service.

Have been contemplating a road trip in the next week or two over to a certain place in NC to visit Mel's siblings, parents & their owner(s). I do have some rather immediate repairs that I need to do around the place once it's mine. And then I need to start stretching fencing and building additional out buildings to house the animals I expect to join the fold next spring. This fall/winter I really need to concentrate on getting a tractor and implements as well. I have sooooo much to do before next spring comes. I guess I better get the camera battery charged up as well... I know y'all are going to insist on pics and I know I can't always be expecting @Devonviolet to provide for me...

OK, getting hot sitting here in the truck typing. Time to head back to my air conditioning. Will update again soon.

You should time your trip to NC to coincide with the dairy goat show at NC State Fair
Would be a good learning experience
It's one of the largest in the country

The goat people would enjoy this weekend in Lewisburg, TN. Little local celebration that features Myotonic goats along with a meat goat class. Story is that the Myotonics originated around Lewisburg. the breed. We went last year to admire the show effort and will go again tomorrow.

The festival is called Goats, Music & More (meaning music concert)

Well, NC is NOT just "around the corner" from TX ! So, if you plan to drive that far -- do it now before animals become part of that new farm.

Hmm, that just makes the puzzle more confusing. If anyone is willing to clarify please message me and do so.
