20 acres (that's 8 hectares for you first worlders)

The land is gorgeous (even has a gorge).

Hey I do SI units. Reagan should have been shot for stopping metri.....oh wait

Wow that's awesome! Looks like rather interesting land, like something from a western/cowboy movie. I can practically see the horses pop up and the music starting to play.

Is this in an unincorporated area where you can pretty much do what you want? The water is a nice feature to have too. That's the only downside of mine is I don't really have any water, at least that I know of, I may run into something when I explore it further. Waiting for late fall for that in case there's ticks.

Now you just need to build an old timey saloon, and hire some entertainers to sing oldies, but goodies, like "She'll be coming around the mountain".

Is it gold?! Geez, that's expensive!

1500 isn't much or a crown. Thimble like. Maybe it fits shorty.

Oh, maybe. I forgot my Dental insurance pays half.

Why I never got into retro emulation before now is beyond me. So much fun.,

My bro just bought one of these - have yet to go for a drive in it. Looks very nice!

Man, it's incredible! Especially considering the wife was wanting a Volvo XC90 -- overpriced BS. The fully loaded Ascent was ~$20k less than a mid-tier XC90. Safety features are unreal, leather so soft, moon roof, cooling front seats, among other things. The retractable sun shields on the back passenger windows are awesome too -- great for a sleeping toddler.

Since I dummied up my old Wheel Horse tractor (which I may have repaired temporarily patching a cracked block with liquid gasket), I sprung for Simplicity.

33k worth of interlocking stone with installation.

Well, due to supply chain being FUBAR, they are just starting now, and they only have the stones for the retaining wall

Thats a (finger) smashing job. There will be blood.

Tired of rolling my own, so I bought a NAS. Mainly for a backup repository, but I may add some music and movie media to it as well.

Aggregated LAN will be great for backing up two desktops that have NVME drives.

Returned it, rolling my own again. Write performance couldn’t come close manufacturer’s specs. Was running around 70MB/s. vs 113 MB/s (with a HDD that can handle 150 MB/s sustained. Now building an mATX system. Wanted to do a mITX, but it would have cost an extra couple hundred $$s - didn’t know mITX was ‘boutique'.

Oh, 10 praying mantis eggs....found 1 in the shop last fall. 1st time that I've seen one since Perk was a kid. 1 egg per 3K sqft....my hood is fixing to be blessed.

That makes 3 that I've seen. 1 got relocated because it was on the wiper blade.
