Moonshiners, good friends to have around...
Things are going even quicker than I planned, I had given my boss what I thought was a generous notice, six weeks, told him in April I'd work through May. Today he laid me off with a generous severance check, told me he had filled my position, thanks for your work, you can use me for a reference, but you don't have to work here any more.
"You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here"....
Lesson to all: Never give your boss six weeks notice. Two weeks should be enough!
I'm not mad at all. Now, I don't have to stick around and work through May, I can move as early as next week, and the severance check he gave me should be enough to buy a nice chain saw, maybe even a Stihl "Farm Boss".
Thanks for the suggestions concerning vehicles for use on the property. I had thought of an old beater four wheel drive truck, and might go that way. Hire someone with a tractor and bush hog to do the initial cleanup and cutting of shooting lanes, then maybe get a tractor later. I'll sort that out in the next few weeks.
Someone asked about a well, it has a deep well, good tasting water, clear and no iron.
