Not really Wayne. I'm definitely open to moving out of state but the issue is time invested in the government job. Though I'm not close to retirement, I have enough time in that I'm not ready to bail out so that limits the locations quite a bit. Other hobbies are hiking and mountain biking so something near some terrain is a must.
Just wait till the knee and hip replacements start from the Basketball history... I work with lots of knee and hip replacement folks and a common theme is active sports when young with basketball being numero uno for damage...Ankle is finally about normal (which still isn't good, too much basketball back in the day). I'm right at 2 months now, things just don't heal the same way they used to
I motocrossed when I was young and broke my right leg into 21 shards and as soon as I got out of that cast I broke my left knee and went right back into a cast. My right leg grew back crooked because it was not set right by the quack who worked on it (should have used a bunch of pins but used none) so now I wear out my right boot real quick by walking on the side of my foot. A doctor told us back when I was 18 that I wouldn't be able to walk without some sort of surgery by the time I was 30 and I am still climbing these big ridges and up and down hollows and such and a lot of time carrying some pretty heavy stuff while doing it like ladder stands and such. I know my future is going to hold a new hip at some time because I already have twinges now in my 50's.
Good luck with the sale - NE Oklahoma holds some great deer and you can buy a heck of a chunk of up and down ground here for the price you have your place for sale at...

Pruned the orchard yesterday. Looks like it's going to be another fruitless year as the pears are already opening up. No way we are out of the deep freeze stages yet.
This is an Orient pear from WG. Love the natural shape of this pear.
This is my first year not planting rye. Last year was my first year of beans and then I overseeded with rye and radish when the beans yellowed. By the 1st of Feb the entire field was clear of any beans. This year I only overseeded the yellowing beans with radish, no rye, and the field is loaded with beans still and doesn't appear to be much of anything feeding in the field. I'm thinking the deer are attracted to the rye and while there would eat a few dried beans as well, this year with no rye attraction the beans are getting no use. Guess I should never skip the rye again!

I was down at the farm yesterday showing the property to some guys from another state. Got to check on my fruit trees and though they have lost a lot of potential fruit to the cold, I still have a few blooms and the long term forecast looks ok so I'm hopeful these new owners will get to enjoy some pears and crab apples...
I guess you sold it then?
