Lol.
well, life in the North isn't for everyone ....
In fact ...
when my wife and I first took possession of her father's ranch when he passed ...I told her that I didn't know if I could handle 9 months of winter and severely cold temperatures.
That was 24 years ago....
And I dont regret a single minute of it ....
Now my wife is a different story....she wants to sell it all and move back state side in the next couple of years and buy a property in either Arizona or Texas ...
She is sick of the snow and the cold ....
and I don't blame her ....we have worked hard making a life here in the north ....
but it's getting to the point that she is finding it harder and harder to cope with the responsibilities that a rancher has ...especially in the winters....
and as for me ...
I still get a kick out of young people coming here and trying to make a life for themselves ....
Especially those that have come from a warm climate like south Africa ...
We have a neighbor who is a young doctor that moved into our area straight from Pretoria ...and his first winter almost made him regret his decision ...
I told him to get rid of the tesla and buy a truck because it was getting old saving his *** every other day ....with my tractor.
But life goes on ...
