The journey into the abyss of no return

[SageHill]

OMG.
Living in a fire area - pack up the "everything goes" list and ready to load into vehicles. I'm sure you know all that stuff having lived up there for so long. Fingers crossed for "good wind" and rain. Do you have a stocktrailier for the bacon bits?

 

[SageHill]

Impressive you've got a D8 - that's one mean machine. They used a D5 to cut and fill for the house, barn and arenas here. You should be good to go for 99% of anything.

Those rippers are AMAZING.
Here's a few of the critters that worked here...

Nice.

You have had a summer of breakdowns. That has to be so frustrating. Sure, you know how and you have the tools to fix things, but come on! Enough already! I admire your skills, but even me sitting on the sidelines, I’d like to see you get through at least a couple of months without a major overhaul!

 

[farmerjan]

Yeah, you got to consider your weather there more than some places for sure..

X2 on what @Baymule said on the needing a break from the constant breakdowns.

Anticlimatic on the neighbor deal... maybe.... they might just do something last minute??? Be vigilant.

Win by default is still a win. Then if they pull their stupid tricks, off to jail they go. Then there’s that look of desperation!

What beauty you have around you. Amazing

Comes with a price, lack of rainfall/water for animals/crops and lovely temperatures to endure from -60°F wind chills to 115°F heat waves. When May rolls around you are preparing for September/October snow storms, hurry up and grow what you can, fix what you can, stock up and get ready to go again. Oh I forgot the high winds that roll around in October/May, random storms to sling 3" hail, and wildfire season. Yeah some spots the ground has coal seams that randomly burst into wildfires when it gets warm enough. There is a reason there is more cows and the people here.
For a person like me I love this and sounds like the perfect place for solitude.

I could romanticize that in my brain Nice fire crackling with Chillie and corn bread in the winter and in the summer lemonade with ginger on a swing under a tree overlooking the heard. However, to be honest that sounds like a solitude only the strongest most capable can truly enjoy. It sure is nice to look at How is your soil? and your growing season?

Wow, coal seams that burst into fire! Never knew that.
