Gordo is nickname my co- workers call me, I am a conductor on Metra electric commuter trains in Chicago, IL. I am really miserable living in the Chicago area, too many people for my liking. I have bought 40 acers in south central Iowa in 2009 and hope to retire there in a little over 4 years from now.
I have always wanted to be a farmer, and finaly have saved enough money to buy my land. Most of my co-workers think I am crazy, what is there to do in the country. If only they would join this site they would know.
Reading all of these threads about people living out in the country, on farms, and living in remote areas like where Rick lives in Alaska help me make it through each day. Keep it up.
Rick if that dinner offer is still on, what type of beer do you like?:laughing:
Thanks to all of you,
Gordo
