I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

With 10 acres you could set up one of those army/marines fitness tracks, with stops for push ups and the like. Surprise guests get put to the march, Sargent Surly Style.

A walk around the property presents its own set of ob-stack'-els. When it's all tamed and I can walk around without finding something to move/lift/chop/dig, I'll certainly do that!

If you are thinking of a horse, or horses, DON"T!!!

Property taxes go way, way down if I have a chicken or a goat on the property. Ma~ and Silt think they should count the way I have them working chasing rats, mice and moles, but they don't. I need a livestock animal.

Or start digging and create your own addition to the FL underwater cavern system....

Part of me thinks this would be neat... but I chose a rather dry area for a reason. Dealing with divers all day wanting to dive a system sounds more like work than fun to me. I'll keep driving to the caves and when the rivers flood, make an evil smirk for being so high and dry. Little River is less than ten minutes away, Jug is about 5, Peacock is 25, Ginnie is 25, and the list goes on and on. I'm close to the caves I love and now that I feel tons stronger and fitter, I can't wait to start diving them.

In order to make Ag. tax exemption work, your taxes have to go down more than the cost of maintaining the livestock. After our horses kicked off, I planted cedar trees and short leaf pines to maintain the exemption. I have discovered that I do not have to pick up tree crap everyday, do not have to feed the trees, water the trees, do not have to get a vet for the trees, or have any of the trees step on me or kick me.

We had a goat for a while when I was in middle school. I don't care how great they are for mowing the grass, I would never want another one. Constantly climbing over the fence and getting loose. Always trying to butt you from behind. Climbing up on top of the car. Such a PITA!

I had a girlfiend like that.

Sorry to hear it, man!

I planted cedar trees

Interesting... I am planting cedar trees. I hate pine, but I love cedar.

Be aware, goats will eat tree saplings... and beer cans, your pant legs, and garden hoses.

You personally? Or are we talking family and friends???

All the above. My grandfather had goats. Like I said, not especially discriminating eaters. I got knocked on my preadolescent butt several times before getting their speed and trajectory calibrated in my escape calculations.

When they lowered their head to butt you snack then with a 2x4 or a 4x4 if they are really stubborn and they will acknowledge your dominance and leave you the hell alone. If not slow roasting over the coils will take the mean out of any goat.
