No new Mustangs for me...
Instead of buying a new Mustang it looks like I will be buying some property. I have the chance to buy the property I grew up hunting on. It includes 91 acres with a ten year old three bedroom ranch that has a 40x24 attached garage, full basement and free natural gas. Most of the property is mature forest with deer, wild turkey and other small game. It also comes with all appliances, an Artic Cat snowmobile, a Kawasaki ATV, an old GMC Jimmy with a plow and a couple of lawn mowers. Yeehaw!

Oh hell yes! No hesitation on that decision. 
I started picking up acreage for my homesite in the mountains in '79 when I was 23, moved on it at 25, and expanded it from there. Cars can be had later. (Though I did bring my 74 J-H/Lotus in tow behind the Land Cruiser and promptly built a shed/garage to store it in the winter.)

This won't be my first property. I already have three others including the house I am living in now in Ohio. They are all paid for and so are all my cars and other toys. I don't really need anymore Mustangs anyway. The ones I have now seldom get driven. Time now to get that retirement land. Crazy part is I already have too many lawn mowers and an ATV. I smell a yard sale coming on.

The closing is finally set for June 29th, a week from Friday. This whole process took a lot longer than I ever would have imagined. I first talked to the current owner and looked at the house on March 31st. I then had to find a bank that would even talk to me and then had to convince my insurance agent to cover it and work with the bank. It didn't help that I live in OH and this property is in PA and I will not be living there full time until I retire. Even my bank here in Ohio where I have all my accounts and that financed my current home (which is paid for) wouldn't work with me. Only after talking to a local bank in PA and discovering that a friend of mine was a loan officer there did I finally get this financed. It's almost scary how everything eventually fell into place as if it was meant to be.

Well, its officially mine now. Got an email from the seller after closing on Friday. He wants to show me where all his tree stands are. I guess he's leaving those behind too. I wasn't expecting that.
