Riiight! Like you'd allow anyone driving a Prius to come to your house.

Unless you OWN a Prius. In which case I'll deny I even know you.

(Welcome to the forum, Noob!)

And "mimeograph"??? How old are you?

Reckon I've always been a country boy soul trapped in a city boy life. I'd LOVE to live out in the country, with nobody around but nature, and a big hillside out back to dig a berm into. Don't want any horses or cows though, not into riding horses or the care and expense of big critters. Maybe some chickens, and lots of trees for shade and wild birds. And some squirrels for shooting amusement and cheap chow.

Grew up in Wasteminster, looking to move on some land ASAP! (as soon as I win Lotto that is).

Technically, I'm "city". But I'm trying to get a taste of the country life. I live on the edge of my city. This is my view from my back porch.

It works for now until I can afford to buy some of my own land and move further out.

I wouldn't mind some chickens, just no annoying roosters though -- I'm not a morning person.

Never, BG! And the automated defense systems, including the 500 megajoule cannons delete Blue Prius models from this dimension before even getting up the hill!

To reassure: K's going to put a blower in the Durango. Just because. (And if you caught that inference I owe you a coffee!)

It isn't the years, it's the mileage, right? "There's no flag on the play, nothing to see here, move along. . .."

I feel younger than I look; let's leave it at that, okay?

I'd be more impressed if she put the blower on the trike!

Do you open a gate or cross a cattle guard to get onto your property? NOPE
- Is your driveway measures in 10's or 100's or 1000's of yards... Miles? 10'S OF YARDS
- Are you on city water/sewer? WELL AND SEPTIC
- Does your power go out every time there is any type of storm? NOPE
- Do snow drifts caused by wind exceed your car/house height? A-FRAME, SO THE HOUSE IS A SNOW DRIFT ON THE NORTH SIDE
- If you talk or yell can your neighbor hear you.... without a phone? MY NEIGHBOR LOVES TO YELL AT ME
- If you shoot in your yard does anyone call the local law enforcement? BESIDES MY NEIGHBOR? NOPE, IT'S LEGAL
- Do you have to drive more than 15 miles/minutes to go get gas/food/groceries? YEP

Lastly, Do you leave your keys in your vehicles and your house is always unlocked? VEHICLES BACKED IN, KEYS IN THEM IN CASE OF FOREST FIRE

Here is a check list to see where you fall.
- Do you open a gate or cross a cattle guard to get onto your property? NOPE
- Is your driveway measures in 10's or 100's or 1000's of yards... Mile? IT'S ABOUT ~70 FEET AFTER ABOUT THREE MILES OF DIRT ROAD.
- Are you on city water/sewer? SEPTIC/ WELL
- Does your power go out every time there is any type of storm?ONLY IF A TREE GOES DOWN. OUR POWER COOP HAS GOTTEN A LOT BETTER
- Do snow drifts caused by wind exceed your car/house height? MAYBE, NOT THE HOUSE THOUGH.
- If you talk or yell can your neighbor hear you.... without a phone? ONLY IF YOU YELLED.
- If you shoot in your yard does anyone call the local law enforcement? JUST ARCHERY FOR ME.
- Do you have to drive more than 15 miles/minutes to go get gas/food/groceries?GAS AND GROCERIES ARE ABOUT 20.

Lastly, Do you leave your keys in your vehicles and your house is unlocked? NO AND NO.

AND YES, THE DRIVE TENDS TO SCARE THE HELL OUT OF VISITORS.

WE ALSO KEEP CHICKENS AND GROW A GARDEN. PROBABLY GET A COUPLE OF GOATS WHEN MY DAUGHTER IS A LITTLE OLDER.

I know that personally what bothers me most is when I have to go to town and I remember to lock my truck, but forget to actually take my keys out of the ignition!

My parents still live in rural TN. A few years ago they moved onto only 11 acres so the driveway is right off the road. Have goats and chickens etc. House itself is rarely locked. Car keys are by the door but no one locks the cars. Nobody cares about shooting in TN. Doesnt snow there but it gets icy as hell, very few snowplows. No neighbors close enough to yell at, and the trees are so thick they wouldnt hear you anyway. Power goes out often, mostly because of trees falling over or lightning strike.

Here in CO I live in town, which is fine by me as it keeps the wife happy.
