Only smaller trees. Nothing that is marketable.


Back in my younger days, I hunted coon with a guy who was a logger. He made a comment while we were hunting a piece of property that they were some nice trees in here. Two weeks later, he bought the 400-acre farm, logged the virgin timber off, built a new log house on it from some of the trees, and sold the rest of the trees, then sold the farm, and the new house. He made a killing on the whole operation. That is the type of person that he is. One time, he had permission to log off an 80-acre chunk that was landlocked with no road access to it. He asked permission from the adjoining land owner if he could drive through his property in order to get to the 80. The farmer said no, he didn't want that big heavy equipment going across his field roads. Jim, my buddy, said, "How much do you want for your farm?" The farmer said, "My farm isn't for sale." Jim said, "How many acres do you have here?" The farmer told him, and Jim said, "Ill give you, X number of dollars for your farm." I don't remember how much it was, but the farmer replied, "Son you just bought yourself a farm." Jim logged both places off, then sold the farm for more than what he had paid for it. He made money on both the farm and the logs. He is a self-made millionaire, by the age of 50, and never graduated from high school. He quit school because he was too busy working, doing his shenanigans.

I've known a few like that. I guess I'm just not as big of a risk taker as those guys.

When you really think about it, it's not much of a risk, they are not going to make any more dirt. Those who have the most dirt wins.

G-mornin knuckleheads. Hump day for some. Just Wednesday for others. Fishing day for me. Leaving in about an hour. 45 now. 74 later. Caught one small crappie yesterday.

Why don't mummies go on vacation? They're afraid to relax and unwind.

Have a good one clones. Found out yesterday I'm traveling again. This time to Kentucky with client and wife to horse racing. Tuesday through Thursday. That will be SC, VA and KY in less than a month.

Good morning Greg and everyone. 52°with wind and rain here, only going up to 57°later. Should clear out overnight, and have two 70° days, before the cold rolls back in. Good luck Greg, Jimmy, and anyone else wetting a line. Calm winds for you Leo, if you decide to pull your pontoon out. Happy Hump Day everybody.

We looked at a couple that I liked, but only 1 that Kathy liked. Unfortunately it wasn't one that I liked ,so we have the Agent looking for more. We'll probably go back down sometime in November or early December.

Yea you both need to like it especially in a new state. November would be a good time but not near turkey day. Traffic is bad enough on a normal week.
