    Mowing the grass - 13 year old - made to fit.
    That's a good job for a young man.
    As for myself, I'll never do it again.

    When he turns 14, you can start teaching him Firewood Logging, to keep you folks cozy in the winters.... I found 14 year olds are able to learn Chainsaw Safety, and Tractor, or Pickup Driving. around the place... Parents approval REQUIRED, though....

    I ran into one of those man-bun dudes the other day....working in a gun store...

    Started to tell him I used to wear a hair-bun like that when I wanted to go out and act Gayee and stuff...

    Didn't though, He actually seemed to know what he was doing behind the counter and had manners?

    Now I'm all confused about all that,I've meet two and both seem to have a good head on their shoulders?

    Congrats YD. First thing I would recommend doing since you have a house and hopefully power/water/sewer is two fold. Plan your fences and plan your storage. I can personally attest you NEVER have enough storage. I really wished I had put in more storage when I built my house. But one thing I did do that I really liked was I installed gas lights in my cabin. One in the bedroom, one in the bath, one in the kitchen and another in the living room. They put ot the equivalent of a 60w light and about 3000 btu or so if I remember right. Not a huge amount of light but enough to get around at night. Add in the Aladdin lamps and old school Dietz lanterns and I can see quite well and stay pretty today without using the propane heat or woodstove. Congrats again boss!

    Bingo! My son was headed to Portland, I was concerned about antifa but he already had a plan to blend in. He put his hair in a man-bun and told me not to worry.

    I love my Birkenstocks. You should try it, you may not want to go back to boots 24/7
