Send some rain this way. My weekend place has only had about 1/4 inch of rain in 14 weeks.

Like Don's bed making, I have a regimented schedule in the morning.

Arise, immediately to the coffee pot. Followed by taking my coffee to the privy where I do some quality thinking about the day ahead and get caught up on some news.

Lord help anyone who interrupts that routine in the morning....I'm sub human until I emerge...

Good work day today. No rain and low 70's.

We worked on the access road all day long removing all kinds of brush, trees, branches, and leveling the heavily "Humped" sections.

Flyin6 · « **Reply #563 on:** October 05, 2015, 09:40:24 PM »

Found this yellow jacket nest pretty quick. As I drove past it, they stirred up, which alerted my unknowing Ranger dog. He stuck his nose in there and of course they ate him up. Ate up one of the pre-rangers too...Pics don't seem to show the swarm of bees buzzing about

No worries, I'm getting fast at replacing these lines

This morning I am in the office here drinkin' my quoffee and reading all this sensless babble on the site when one of the pre-rangers comes in. "Dad, I slept like a rock last night!" "Son, why was that?" "I think it was because you worked us like dogs on the farm yesterday."

Yup...He's learning

And he ended the day with putting a few rounds downrange while I pined over my broken tractor.

Out at the place all day long
I feel about as smoked as a cheap cigar!

Man, I'm tired. Great day though, got down to 47 so great weather to work hard. Was hustling the big chain saw since I bush hogged the small one up. Cut a bunch of cedar trees along the road into the site. Out of 7/10 of a mile of "Driveway" I now have it cleared down to maybe 200 meters remaining. One long day should do it and be open enough for trucks, the camper, whatever.

I have been back dragging the road while I go and have improved it immensely! Had a visit from the neighbor today. He said the road and the farm is in the best shape he has ever seen it in the past 15 years.

I started with replacing the too long and defective hydraulic bucket lines and the new shorter ones did the trick. Then with a bucket full of rocks and swing around a turn going backward, I managed to pop the tire off the rim on the front!

But after some wrestling and a prayer, God literally fixed that thing.
Not kidding. Had the 12 volt mini compressor hooked up and pumping. Gage was steady at about 4.5psi. Wouldn't budge past that. I said a short prayer, "Please Father God, inflate this tire." And instantly...like the same instant I stopped praying the gage started to rise! My boys witnessed it too. They said they wanted to share the story in church tomorrow. Pumped it up to around 40, and finished the day with it

Sweet!

Stopped down at the farm yesterday to dump some corn, place some cameras and prep a few stands / blinds. The drive is much improved and the fields look great. :) :) :)

I'll retrieve some pics Wednesday and post 'em up if there are any deer worthy of it.

Well, there has been some drama
I don't tell all sometimes as, well it's my personal business
Well, you have all noted I was improving the road, really just trimming away branches and leveling low spots which stay wet through the winter months

To get to my property, I need to cross two other properties. That "Road" crosses both properties. Well I got an email maybe a month and a half ago saying I have ruined the property and I am not to trespass. I just got that resolved, just a simple written agreement was all that was needed, and there was the "heat of the moment" component to his email...
Well two weeks ago I get this letter from the attorney, yes the attorney for land owner #2. He is making fantastic claims about me filling in a pond which isn't even a pond, and I dumped nothing into that hole! And my cutting "Valuable" trees. Those cedars might be worth $5 each, but more likely $1.30 ea. and a lot of them were dead anyway. He claimed I had "Ripped: branches literally right off the tree, which is 100% accurate, as if that's bad in some way, and that I was just a bully and had "Assaulted" his property for the last time.
He told me I may not "Trespass" on his property (The road) any more!
So as you may imagine, it has been dicey for me going back there and that's why there hasn't been any action.
But my attorney advises me to keep going back there and we'll fight it out in court if necessary.
The good part is that when I file the law suit for "Prescriptive easement" I also get to place a legal order on his property, which just happens to be for sale at the moment. That action will state to any perspective buyer that this property has a law suit pending and is subject to the result of that suit!

Yep, wanna get down in the mud and wrestle, well, I'm your guy. I work just as well in a fight as I do at peace!
In the end I will likely purchase his property for a fair price and own 160 more acres. My overall plan is to also purchase the 78 behind me and the 60 alongside the road to make it a cozy 390 acres. I will be a couple miles deep and maybe a mile wide.
That place is going to be a place where we train fathers and sons and daughters in the skillsets they will need in the future all bathed in a strong Christian setting.
I envision cabins set in the woods along trails, ponds, fields, hiking trails, courses for 4WD trucks, jeeps and bikes, some critters, and a central area where we will burn bon fires and have prayer meetings as well.
This is all just a part of that process I think...

I think your approach makes sense Don. It really sucks how some people look at things and approach them (getting lawyers involved before coming to have a chat). I had some similar nonsense with people crossing my property to get to the pond behind our house. My first response was nice and when one moron pushed back I just hammered him. So much BS out there some times. I will say a prayer that this ends well for you at a minimum of cost and aggravation.

Thanks Wil,

I have prayed over this so I'm G-T-G. The answer will come.
Discouraging having to battle a hateful person? Sure, but Jesus has this, that farm is his. If he wants to make more of it, he will.

I can think of a few ways to assault property, but clearing some trees and etc off YOUR land isn't one of them.

You did have a 15ft or so wide road easement across the non owned land didn't you?

Easements are always fun. People think they are all mighty and really have few if any rights.

Once the easement is established, little the real owner can do.

Be patient,,,,,,,,

He wanted to limit me to just 8 feet

I argued that my truck is nearly that wide, my camper wouldn't fit and neither would an ambulance.
He is a jerk and a control guy, It is really about the "Control" thing over someone else I think.
I have an easement on my property to another farm. I allow those guys to do whatever they feel they need to it...
