We're reformed subruban sophisticates
. So when the retire mode came it was based on the pee rule ( can't chose your neighbors in city/suburb ):
Look for enough land - woodlot included - that allows the male to pee in four cardinal points without disturbing anyone.
The 60a give us enough firewood forever. The only neighbors are a boatyard ~.5 k south, seasonal houses ~1k east and north, and the closest across the cove ~.2k seasonal, now up for sale.
All my firewood and pulp harvesting is done in winter. Many of the local neighbors further away also cut for themselves, so it's a way of life along with hunting fall and spring. While we don't hunt, friends do on our place. Saw noise does travel, so a nearby friend (carpenter) asks me not to cut on Sundays. Easy.
Now we do have people "From Away" as we're called, that want suburban services such as trash PU, no farm or bait smellies, full time PD and Fire, and hydrants next to their drives. It'll be a cold day in Hell for any of that here. Damn we're the real "Last Mile" for DSL/broadband ! The mile from any paved road is joy.
BTW: everything is south of here. Portland (a.k.a. Massachusetts) is a good 3 hours' drive. Yes, we are superior beings Downeast.:rockn:
P.S. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, who is "Red green" ? Is he a pecker also ? What is a pecker ?
