Marking the demesne, and other things, like toys for boys.

Meet the Ranger of Argghhh! Polaris Ranger. Perhaps we should name him... Strider.

ATV of Argghhh!

We got that puppy to add to the Motor Stable of Argghhh! because the place is big, and has but one real road that runs through it. The lower forty is a sea of grass (eminently sellable brome hay) running along the creek and cliffs, and the upper forty is hilly, and a touch rocky, that is half woods half native grass pasture. Gotta run the fences.

Which I did yesterday, to mark my territory in a fashion no one will have any doubts who lives here. Hey! Don't give me those funny looks - SWWBO's got her own sign plan...

Besides, unless you go on foot - using the Ranger is the only way you will get to that part of the property that you can look back at the Castle on the Hill.

Oh, you were marking your territory with signs! Oops.

I *could* get her a flare gun...

You mean your recon vehicle can't pop smoke? You better get on that.

HA "wheels". I just sprained my face sneering. There isn't even a turret.

All in good time, Murray, all in good time.

On a tangential note: you might want to talk to some local birdwatchers before you mow the Lower Forty, and invite them in to have a look around. That looks like a field that might attract ground-nesting and/or grass-nesting birds, some of which are on various endangered lists.

ask the dear SWWBO to put a SMLM plate on the back of the Polaris Ranger and we can chase her thru the woods until she finds her way home...

Murray - these are available - would that help fix your face? Hmmm. Prolly not.

Wolfwalker, I wouldn't sweat the birds or other small critters. Those that are smart enough will get out of the way of the mowers. Those that aren't will come off easy enough with a hose and some soap. John, great looking place. You interested in sub-letting? Maybe start an old warriors commune? Respects,

Does it come with a pink tutu? Look for that price* I could BUILD you a fully functional mini-Sherman. Just get me some workshop space a list of handy furnace making gear, a pile of casting aluminium, some common enginering tools and you'll be the first kid on your block with his own tracked snow plow this winter. *(Green card and plane ticket sold seperately).

Hmmm. Murray, why do I think this has more to do with the green card than the tank? ;^ )
