Biography
Just looking around for a simple lady(intelligent, good looking and average build 0-5' 6") who is interested in the very simple things in life. A lady who would enjoy living a simple out in the country kinda life. Just living off the land and enjoying life. I don't enjoy fussing and arguing. And I'm looking for the same. I don't watch TV. A good movie every now and then is nice. I may drink a cold beer/glass of wine occasionally. I‘ve enjoyed a lot of outside activity in my life. Everything from horseshoes to scuba diving(over 600 dives) USA/Mexico. I own a nice weekender, which I’m trying to sell. It’s too expensive too enjoy anymore. I’ve worked in every major city in America and a few in Canada. Handyman, can do must anything. But, not as fast as I once was. Enjoy music, grilling out, gardening/farming, , flea markets, history, cooking, good conversation, laying on a sandbar in the creek with my feet in the water, and studying/researching things that interest me, occasional trips, being self sufficient, homeopathic and herbs. raising goats, meat rabbits, chickens and fish. I'm not a romeo. But, I still enjoy hugging, squeezin, kissin, cuddling and holding hands. I put a sincere effort into being a gentleman. If you're into money, big and fancy, don't disappoint yourself. I'm a clean cut and well groomed 240lb. male. I'm a drug, alcohol, drama free Christian conservative and a little bit old fashion.  And I still have my teeth and most of my hair, average health. Gotta a little piece of land with a nice creek on it. If you think you would be interested in a small simple relationship, send me a message, if in reasonable distance of 28040.

I guess us poor ole country boys from the South do Pintos a little different. I always wash them in a big pot to get out the trash. Then soak them over night. Rinse them and add new water or chicken broth. Put in a big chunk of smoked meat and simmer cook them all day. What goes good with them. Mixed greens, corn, beets, chow chow or kimchi. A big slice of onion and real cornbread. No sugar in the cornbread please. That's corn cake. And white corn meal. That yellow stuff is for city folk.

Great idea. Unfortunately those little square blocks of pressed bord will rot and come all to pieces. I've tried to used those pallets before. They're some of the worst to fall apart quickly.

Typical stuff that makes sense. If can bury a couple 1" black plastic pipes approx. 3' deep and you have a good stream near by. Using a radiator or transmission, heat pump cooling coil laying in the bottom of the stream. Hook the pipes (2, a feed and a return) to it. Run the pipes to your dwelling with a solar circulation pump. Use another coil or radiator hooked to the pipes and a solar fan. Put the fan behind the coil. This keeps temps. inside comfortable. It may be a little slow to cool down. But, in a short period of time it will work.    
What is the temperature of the ground about 3 feet deep?
Throughout most of the U.S., the temperature of the ground below the frost line (about 3 to 5 feet below the surface) remains at a nearly constant temperature, generally in the 45 ° -50 ° F range in northern latitudes, and in the 50 ° -70 ° F range in the south.

Lye/caustic soda. My Grandmother had a little wooden barrel she put hardwood ashes in. It had a little wooden spout/spigot on the bottom. She would sprinkle water on the ashes every day. She didn't put a lot of water on the ashes. Just good and wet. the water would seep through the ashes and the lye would drip out of the little wooden spout/spigot into a crock. That's what she used to make soap.

I have fixed this problem many times with a sub soiler. Burying the sub soiler as deep as I can get it to run. Running diagonally(45degrees) and above the spot you're trying keep dry. You may have to cut several slits in the soil. The water will run down the hill and disappear into those slits and run off to the side. I usually run the back tractor tire over the slits when I'm finished to just sort of put the dirt back where it was. I've done this to hillsides, mountainsides, to save drive ways and several other situations. Without actually seeing the lay of your land, I couldn't garauntee that this trick would solve ypur problem. But, it's worth a try and it's a very reasonably inexpensive proposition.
