Will the goats prevail?

So many horn-ed mascots

So once upon a time back when I had a real job, we all carried lariats in our trucks for the occasional run away etc. Neighboring farm raised goats. They had a mass escape so me and a couple of buddies were wrangling the goats that were wrecking havoc on our farm. I called Jodi and asked her to bring me a few extension cords out to our finishing pen. For you City folks, that is where we segregate prize horses/cows that our kids show at 4h etc. it has fans, brush’s combs etc to “finish” the coats prior to shows. Well anyway the goats were a bit uncooperative and I needed my rope back so I tied the extension cords around the goats horns then to the pen with the extension cord! Those guys were class one escape artists! Lasted just long enough to get owner and his dogs and trailer over. Jodi just shook her head!

I can't take enough photos to show the house. It will be a fun house when they get it all set up. They don't have a ton of furniture but that's ok. Neither did we when we started. They haven't move much of anything in yet. The previous owner was a professional paistry chief and the kitchen is to die for.

Home prices are nuts these days. I made a HUGE mistake in 2008.

In November of 08, I had the chance to buy a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, half basement sitting on just under an acre, 58,000.
it had been foreclosed on and the previous owners punched holes in the wall and stripped out electrical wiring. Needed about 50k worth of work. I offered 38,000, bank accepted but at closing, the inspection report was revealed the HVAC also needed replaced, so I backed out. Stupidly as I had a gov job, it was stable and I had zero bills at the time. It sold in 2021 for 425,000…..
