Things are different when 2 million escapees from California move to Central Texas to the fastest growing town in America.
Growing pains - which I have addressed to their corporate office by my suggestions how to make it better.
every town i'm in is building building building. It's not just the Cali escapees.......
Even the little town near me is building a big development that will probably double the town size.

Another Farm on the other side of town is selling 80 acres to a developer.
Escape path from NJ (like me, wife is the local), Philly and NY.

Luckily miles away, but will create more traffic on way to sons friends house and shopping.

All the fields here are now sold, and a few new houses have popped up, we have a 5 acre minimum here, but a few miles up the road it's a free for all.

The farm selling was the largest Christmas light show in the US at one time, now will be relegated to a walk through it seems. They held out for a long time, but low farm returns and high property values as they hand off to the next generation......

Hi all,
Has anyone ever seen a deer with so much white? Has been hanging out with other deer or by itself for sometime now. We live in Oregon in the shadows of Mt. hood!

Went to town to get a tractor battery, came home without one. Basically because Costco was a zoo, and when I got inside, I remembered the core was still in the car parked about as far from the door as you can get, and had to troll the lot to find that spot. Also Interstate battery type24 was $119. Messicks said $92 for a replacement. Anyways spent almost $300 without the battery, but did treat myself to another spypoint game camera on sale $20 off. Made it about same as amazon price. So far been very happy with the one at the lot. I have a thing for camera's, I have several...
Local place near me is loaded up with tractors and equipment for a consignment auction next week. Some nice 10 and 20 ft containers there, few ZT mowers, Skid steers, some big trailers and other big equipment. They started these auctions last year, have 2 a year. have not been to one.
Wife busy making stuff for thanksgiving. Cookies today.
Bucks been going at it.

Had trouble parking too at Costco. Never seen them this busy. Parked in back and hard to find a spot
But no line at self checkout. Checked TSC, a group 24 Traveler Battery, made by interstate is $179 there. Maybe I'll go back to Costco anyways for the battery.

check the Battery Warehouse for prices? Usually buy from them
They wanted $160 for an AC Delco. Messicks sells their own labeled "field ready" battery for $91. I can't find anything on google regarding that brand name.
