Is the picture below better? Me breaking with John Deer Model D, and manual plow -- did this too, this is much more fun -- really:

Maybe I should change my Avatar to the above – then you would be happier.

I'm happy either way Alex. I was just making an observation. I do like you better on the tractor though. Manly sweat is well, so manly.

Alex, I love that first photo. Just beautiful!

On comments about your appearance, I am reminded of visiting a photography studio once and looking at a stunning larger than lifesize photo on canvas of a monk in front of a stained glass window with the sunlight streaming down and falling across the folds in on his hood and cloak. It was so "real" and so "moving", as if I'd stepped back in time and was face to face with a monk centries ago. Knowing the rarity of authentic monks in the Mississippi Delta, I asked the photographer if he had traveled abroad to make the photo. He laughed and replied, "Nah, that guy's a soybean farmer that lives right down the road."

Creativity. It was good work.

I am so proud you asked, I added the "plans" to my home pictures at the bottom of the page . Any questions , PM me. We had a fish die off and we borrowed an aerator for a while from the local pond management but couldn't afford to buy one, so we invented this, it has worked well now for years

Unfortunately i'm still living in the villiage on a 66'x210' lot. I also have a carriage barn to the left of the house, that doesn't show in the photo. I'm hoping that by fixing up this place, I'm building enough equity to either pay cash or have a minimal mortgage on the next place.

If you want a challenge, restore a 1910 vintage house. If you want an ultimate challenge buy it from a guy that loved to watch "This Old House". You know the guy that only watched the shows where they ripped a house apart, never the ones where they put it back together :haha:

Woods, I think that's my old place.
Does it have a dilapitated wood shed out back with a bullet hole in the back wall?
