It isn't replaceable...that's too true. My island compound is rather unique....more like owning a small marina with machine and wood shops than it is a residential property.
I will be adding Granddad to my list of names I go by come September.
Congratulations.
Many of the MD land grants were "pension grants"; the King's treasury was broke and retiring officers were offered large tracts of land in the "new colony" in lieu of a normal retirement income. Our farm in Howard County was one of those....a retirement grant given to a British colonel. Originally 2000 acres, it was a lot smaller when we owned it, but we had the original homestead, the first part of which was documented as existing in 1704. The second addition to the home was also log construction, showing up in land records in 1804. The last and much larger addition was completed in 1864 and is "balloon framed" rough-cut timber construction.
Thank you.Congratulations.
both his older kids are technically adults now, so we're no longer legally tied here (though obviously, we'd like to stay near to them) but he likes his work. His work has talked about moving operations to another state, and if that happens we plan to go with them. I can easily find my type of work anywhere and our son is still young enough to handle a new state move. We don't have much allegiance to this county or state, but also don't have any issues if we end up being here for another 10-20 years, it's a fine enough place to live with a family.
Goals is goals.but ehh, I'd rather putz around chasing old ladies on a golf cart and have a 1 bedroom house with a 10 car garage built.
Don't forget to put a pineapple on the cart's dashboard.When I retired from the Air Force out of Andrews in 2009, I had an awesome fed job offer in DC so I stayed; sure wasn't going back to my home state of taxachusetts. Now that I'm verging on a second retirement in 4yrs, I plan to vacate MD. No kids, wife, or family here so I'm thinking of moving to TX where a lot of my Air Force One friends moved to. I have a contractor job offer there working the AF1 program, but ehh, I'd rather putz around chasing old ladies on a golf cart and have a 1 bedroom house with a 10 car garage built.
Well...I did live, at least...I don't understand how you have managed to evade capture for so long. You should teach classes to some of these bitter guys who grabbed up Ms. Wrong and lived to regret it.
How exactly? I'm military, father was a firefighter, his father was a postman, his father was a cop. My distant relative was a Hessian deserter who wanted to raise a family here rather than fight. This state is worth a lot, why would you abandon it?
My dentist's name is Mrs. Wong, she's pretty hot. Does that count?I don't understand how you have managed to evade capture for so long. You should teach classes to some of these bitter guys who grabbed up Ms. Wrong and lived to regret it.
Maryland's disgusting far-left elected scum ruined the state. My property taxes and vehicle/boat registrations will exceed $1200/month soon. That is "how exactly". It is beyond impossible to reverse the far-left tilt of the state.
Born and raised Marylander here, my family arrived around 1699. I left a dozen years ago for the second time.
