Well SWMBO and I are making moves towards retirement. On September 15 we are closing on a 26 acre Lake Front tract about 45 minute up the road. One of the great aspects is that there is a wonderful gully that will allow me to set up my own little pistol range at 25 and maybe even 50 yards. Shoot steel and all the stuff I can't at the gun club.
I started adding up the costs today...the land ...no big deal we bought that with some legacy funds from our parents all of whom have now passed. I think they would approve...But the septic system, a well, a 50ish horse tractor, a trailer for the tractor, a 4WD truck for access and towing the tractor and equipment if I need to, a four or 6 wheeler to get around on the place not to mention a house a shop a pole barn.
We are not going to build out there for 3 or 4 years so I can shop for good used stuff but....I had been thinking about a Les or an Ed but those kind of look out of the question for now until we are settled and have a handle of the $ hemorrhage. Don't get me wrong our we are ok to make this happen but multi thousand discretionary spend is not currently an option....
A great problem to have...something I have been dreaming of for almost 40 years is starting to come true...Now to find the decently priced equipment
