Polaris Ranger. Perhaps we should name him... Strider. 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.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html Sun, 08 Jul 2007 09:32:23 -0600 Hmmm. Murray, why do I think this has more to do with the green card than the tank? ;^ ) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62084 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62084 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 19:37:36 -0600 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). http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62078 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62078 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 18:25:19 -0600 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?

That looks like a field that might attract ground-nesting and/or grass-nesting birds, some of which are on various endangered lists. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62012 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62012 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 23:15:24 -0600 All in good time, Murray, all in good time. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62004 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/marking_the_dem.html#comment-62004 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 22:13:13 -0600 HA "wheels".
