[simple_john]

wow what a big sprawling yard.... very nice.... man its just wide open flat open land down there huh? :fing32: totally different from this region..

very nice...

are those 4 or 5 things vents on your roof? is that typical since its so hot down there to keep the roof from baking?
great views and great looking place... :fing32:

[Ingersoll444]

Thanks Paul..

The rack is for clothes line strung up to the next rack. Wife likes to hang wash out..:fing32:

[Ingersoll444]

Cool. I wonderd that. Got the table right there to put the basket on also. Great idea!!!

[wanna_be_farmer]

Great looking place!

[MowHoward2210]

Great looking place!


:ditto: Very nice!

[Mayor]

Great videos Ken I felt like I was watching MTV Cribs. :thThumbsU

[John Deere Addict]

Looks like a beautiful place Ken, you should be proud.:thanku:

All the waviness in the pics made me think I was looking underwater.

[Brad]

Very nice homestead. Looks like you've spent a lot of time keeping it spruced up.

Is that where the '08 MTF Pig Roast will be held?

Know where we could get dinner?? Maybe John Deere Addict could bring the guest of honor, Bonnie Belinda Quinn, (B-B-Q for short)...

[bblalocksr]

Great looking place Ken. Looks like many hours went into the grooming.:thThumbsU

You should break down and buy your wife a dryer.:sidelaugh

[Steve (Magnolia, TX)]

The fence looks great!!! And the Mrs' flower bed does, too. It was a bit drier last year, when I was up there.

About the only thing missing is a couple (or 10) of us sitting on the deck there... :fing32:

[Rodney in VA]

Ken:

Very nice place! :thThumbsU

[okieduc104]

Nice place, Is that a drilling rig over there a mile or so away? I have an eye for them, since I chased them with an electric logging truck for the first 20 years I worked in the oil patch.
I will bring the potatoe salad for the Barbeque and my knife fork and spoon.


If you come out to the VCCA 32nd annual Swap meet in Traders Village in Grand Prairie tomorrow or Saturday come by my space a few yards behind the office tent, assuming it don't blow away, and sit a while. I will be sitting behind a pewter Tahoe. ( I have a handful of 55-59 Chevy truck door parts I need to get rid of.) but I just mostly hang out.

[JDFANATIC]

Ken,

Nice spread! :thThumbsU Thanks for sharing the clips.

[Walt 2002]

VERY nice place, neat and well kept.

[Wingnut]

Still nice and green in the springs!

[Team_Green]

Nice place Ken. I only got to see the first three vids the rest wont load up for me.

[mbkerk]

One thing I noticed is the lack of road ditches on your main road! Where does the water run? Is there a lot of rain there, or does it just soak in?

Very nice place Ken! Looks like a good place to retire! :fing32:

What rain????

Not much for ditches down here...It either soaks in or massive flooding!!!:banghead3

[BOSOX]

Nice property you have Ken, too bad your on the other end of the state . Next year my family and I will be traveling to Denver CO. again to see my BIL,SIL and the kids. We'll be taking a road trip to Albuquerque MN. east into Ammarillo TX. and possibly north into Oklahoma and Kansas. Then get back to Denver for our flight home. My daughter has a map of the USA across her wall and we've been putting thumb tacks with photo's on the states we've visited. Pretty fun actually. She's five and knows more geography now than I did in high school. Anyhow it seems you have your work cut out for you with that great spread of land, good thing your retired now. You can wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and say "well boss, what are we up to today"? Take care..

[scrodamoon]

[cadman56]

Real nice place you have there Ken. :thanku: for posting the vids. Now that you're retired, you have any projects lined up that you want to do? Take care and enjoy your retirement. :trink39:

[glenn27]

Very Nice--Ken..Very Clean!!
One question--looks like sand on the edges==Do you have to import actual topsoil in your area?

[drbailey]

Looking Great Ken , what a beautiful place to retire at!!! We are getting that wind up north of you today.:thThumbsU

[Jim_WV]

:thanku: for the compliments!! :fing32:

Thats wheat/grain fields on the edges..(Barn and Yard Video) No sand in these parts!!

[Aussie Nick]

Ken as all the others BUT ............ Could I be so audacious as to suggest assorted garden Gnomes placed strategically to make the lawn mower tractor run a bit more challenging. Perhaps you could create some garden gnome chicanes (ala Formula one style) to really put the Tractor through its paces
.:greendr:
