Hi, Diane, I'm Timothy or Timo and I accidentally found this site while exploring small scale threshing machines. I live in Tollesboro, KY, about 12 east of Maysville, KY, because nobody has ever heard of Tollesboro. Actually I am 4 miles north of Tollesboro, out in a hollow called Poplar Flat where I have 18 acres, a house and a pole barn and 5 cats, all of which I own free and clear except for the cats who only give their friendship to people who love them.
I am a retired structural engineer, 72, and built my own house after being laid off in 2012, I have lived all over the mid West and visited various foreign countries and States in our Union during my working career. I was married and divorced twice and have no kids.
I am not off the grid but working at being more self sufficient, I harvest rain for my water supply and heat my pole barn with fire wood. The chimney on the main house will be done this year and then I will be able to heat the house with local fire wood as well. I have a garden which I am trying to defend against the raccoons with a good fence this year. Four peach trees were planted last year and the first asparagus crop is due next Spring. There is no zoning in this part of Kentucky so I did all the plumbing and wiring in my house, no inspections were required, I am a veteran of 6 years in the Nuclear Navy so I knew what I was doing.
I live by myself (except for the cats) but it would be nice to have a companion who has a similar interests and outlook on life.
