Okay. Now you guys have me wondering what the urban explorers will be saying about me as they walk through what remains of this old farm after I'm gone?

Maybe they'll be saying something like "The story goes that the eccentric old man who once lived here now "haunts" the place. They say he still tries to access CityData on that old dusty Dell desktop PC in the corner and it will mysteriously start up on occasion."

I'm now actually thinking that a good drone with a camera, like the ones urban explorers sometimes use, would be a fun thing to have out here at the farm?

Whenever I see that herd of deer in the buffalo wallow down the road, I could zoom out to them at a safe height and watch them at a closer distance. The same could be done for the bold coyotes who yip and bark just out of running reach of my dogs in the evenings.

Then too, a good drone could be used to help sell any real estate I hope to sell in the future? Hmm. Maybe not. . .

Not quite yet here northeast of you. We're only at 61F so far and I still have the space heater on.

I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Come Sunday the high is currently projected to be only 45 degrees. . . I just checked it again and now they're saying a high of 43 for Sunday.

I'm now thinking if that is actually true?
