There are so many state employee's it is fine for many years and show billions in assets.
I was lucky and got into the 3@50, everything now is 2.7@55-57 and you pay a lot for it.

Just hope they bite off a little more than they can chew and get put in their place real soon.

States can't go bankrupt per federal law, only counties and cities.
Not that a few states would not like to change it.

That’s why I love TX. I don’t have to permit anything.

Speaking of... when are you moving to Lexington or Indy? :poke: 
I declined that opportunity. They wanted me in Indy and I just can go there right now. Kids weren’t supportive neither was the wife I didn’t want that location enough to drag them there against their will.

If you have a lot to move get the permit & play the game.
Think I will do a general permit up front and go from there. Fewer issues in the long run and get under the old rules.

They have changed it radically in the last few years. They are taking way more, raising the retirement age and you get less.
I should be safe with the changes plus it is in our state constitution it must be funded. Then again, only we tax payers follow the law, not the law makers.

Found I should get a permit for grading (needed if over 50 cubic yards). I do have to move a lot of dirt!
May not be a bad thing as if submitted and approved by june 30th I get to use the 2012 codes vs the 2018 codes just adopted.

TRN, I'm surprised you any funds at all with that little chalet going up. What were you eyeing?
Yup, utility it is and getting to those odd spots, mail or just running up into the local mountains.

I like the kubotas, but they are pricey.
All opinions welcome!

Yep, I see a lot of machines around 500cc but I think that is to small.
Got a line on a 2008 Ranger xp, 700cc. Wants 5500 for an 11 year old machine.

« on: April 28, 2019, 09:34:29 PM »
Yeah, I think up front and in the long run a SxS would be better. A quad will get me there, a SxS will get me there and a friend, carry our stuff and offer some protection.
What do you say for minimum engine size and off brands?
5715
« on: April 28, 2019, 06:05:22 PM »
Dave, that is the allure of the sxs for me too and the kids could use it. The extra size is what worries me, I don't have roads and have ground to cover.
Had a line on a couple of those, gone. They want stupid prices even for one 10 years old.

Quad vs UTV. What do some of you guys have, why one over the other. I need something and I keep bouncing back and forth on what I want.
I think a quad would allow more access and still carry what I need. If so, what engine size? EFI is a must and thinking 500ccor more.
UTV sounds fun, but you almost need a regular road for them.
Budget I around 4k, used for sure.
As you can see I changed the name since I got a 2008 Ranger.

Welcome, nice rides.

Kids are already talking bike path and jumps. There really a good variety of usable land. Plus there are several paths out, but not normal roads.
My land stops just prior to that hill. But I was thinking in the same ball park. Solar power well with a 2500 gal tank. Like to support a small pond in the natural runoff (lined) giving a larger area for upgrading the foliage.

Here is the area I want to build on with the peak in the rear (not my prop)
5723
« on: April 27, 2019, 02:15:20 AM »
Good progress, I want to see that rear!
5724
« on: April 27, 2019, 01:50:37 AM »
Yep, hard to tell. The area boxed dips behind the right where the blue line ends, in fact that is a nice little hill.
The green rep the high ground which continues around to the east to the far side in the first picture.

« on: April 26, 2019, 10:34:45 PM »
So, here is a little idea of what I want and some overview. The area N/W (upper left) is much flatter than I first thought, but still a little valley.
You can see my truck and the family going back and some of the valley below. I was standing where the green dot is.
Yellow dots are the corners, white dot is my truck. White box is where I am thinking about building.
Yellow arrows point to neighbors and cannot be seen if I build in the white boxed area. White arrows point to the valley view from that spot.

That was cool, love the CNC stuff. I would do electric though, 1/3 the parts, more power.
5730
« on: April 25, 2019, 08:33:09 PM »
I have a little CT70 for the kids to play with, you can stand up off that. (same thing my dad always said)
Broke more than 1 bone on a bike, I was a little crazier in my early years.
Maybe a side by side later, quad would fit well now. Can't be anymore dangerous than a snowmobile,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Do like the idea of EFI. Want it to run all the time.
5731
« on: April 25, 2019, 02:17:52 PM »
Wife is against bike(and a lot else)
Told the guy not now, overpriced and I don't need it right now.
5732
« on: April 25, 2019, 02:26:22 AM »
For me to run around on. Not smooth land, 1/4x1/3 mile, mail is a mile away too.
I don't mind walking, have walked it a lot. But working on something, running from one end to another, etc.
EFI sounds good, was a little hard to start.
Don't need it now, just happen to be here and not much avail where I am.

200 hours? 1100 miles

Opinion guys.
Looking at a,2002 Yamaha grizzly 660. Really good condition, 200hrs,winch aftermarket tires and wheels.
Asking 4500 which I think is high, made an offer and were a few hundred apart. I left it there.
Searching shows newer ones going for 3 to 4.

Getting quotes of 4k for a 40hc delivered. That's clean and painted desert tan.

All great feedback guys. Hydro it will be.
Looking at containers and quads today.

Nice rack,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Wish I never sold my dually hubs

Pretty sure it has a front aux, but the rear has the BH, so good there.
Pretty sure I need to get the 3 point arms, so a little extra for the rams and hoses may be called for.
What about width? I am thinking 72in, most look to be around 60.
5739
« on: April 23, 2019, 11:53:09 PM »
She actually liked it too.
All for double bladed box, hydro would be cool but is a good chunk.

Finished signing for the land today and took the family there. They were actually much happier with it than I thought, so far so good.
Found 2-3 spots for building and the northwest corner has a even a better vie, but far out.
Looks like several spots may have some underground water with the lots of foilage

Why is it whenever Ken gets to a thread, his GF issue take over?
5742
« on: April 23, 2019, 12:48:28 AM »
My kids are into that crud, not approved but the wife thinks its all a joke.
Anyway, on the way to Reno in the am for some signing, funds transferred.
Dropped off the Kub at a dealer a little north for a once over and oil change. Unless major I will do it from here out.
Trying to decide if I want a box scaper or leveler for cutting and making roads. Open to suggestions.

Mine was showing good voltage to, but wasn't charging. Put a Napa reman in it, they figured it was the clutch, works fine now.

So far I am paid up with the new land and what goes there.
My current home is my first I got it in 95. Worth 4x times what I paid with about 1/2 mortgage. If Ca goes as I think, I may walk away.

« on: April 21, 2019, 10:56:25 PM »
Smart woman there. Maybe mine will do the same. That is my goal.
Plus it is getting scary here, people are leaving in droves. All the time I hear people talk about or said they just bought out of state.
Starting to look at kit homes now. Little until I get there, but I have the toy hauler.
