has got to be a new lease  I'm sorry cabos...I just found that humorous. Just remember that "The grass is not always greener on the other side of the septic tank".
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.

Six of us bought a 640 acre ranch in Taylor county. Then I paid $10,500 for a very nice 5th wheel (husband died and widow just wanted it gone). The came all the utility hookups and the new John Deere tractor. Been so busy working on camp HQ, I haven't started my feeder or game cam yet (and the summer heat has a lot to do with that as well).
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

Gras is nice, were on my short list in 2010. I stayed away from the package and went for days with choice of animals. Be sure to spend a few days sight seeing, well worth it. If you get an opportunity to bird hunt take it! I'm off to Zim next year!

I got a brand new 2013 Honda Rancher 4x4 ES I've had a strong itch to replace my old '92 TRX Fourtrax with a new one, but the itch goes away as soon as I remember that I have a daughter at A&M.

New duck decoys or a Blackpowder revolver... but I have enough Cabela's points racked up to take the edge off... I'll almost get the gun for free actually.

Getting back on a lease after 8 years off. Having to completely re-gear from blinds to feeders to ATV. Plus the lease itself. Been an expensive summer and still need a travel trailer! Reminds me of Foxworthy's breakdown/skit of what venison actually costs.....expensive!

I've been itching for a crossbow but I don't think that's happening this year. I have two sons going to A&M and I'm tapped out. Just have 'em sign a few autographs and you'll be back in business!
