ya thanks for the comments there, you know i like living here, i like living in the nortt even better...mostly the serenity, and low, low taxes...you heat with wood so there is no gas bill either...the wood is free and plentiful...even if you didn't have any wood on your own property(which most do), then you can get a permit for 30 bucks and cut down 30-40 cords of wood on crown land....it is possible to buy land in the north for 2-5000 dollars candian...nice land, large acreage...my taxes are 232 dollars a year for 160 acres, right a cross the dirt road is a nice lake.i would recommend any of you to come on up and take a look for yourself, you won't be sorry you did...alot of americans also buy land there...you can't afford not to....and maybe if we can shrug off all the buerocrats, that chase you for every dollar you own, then maybe we can get a little of what the good lord promised...some peace....does anyone know what those trace controllers cost?...danb had a post the other day about some refurbs but they weren't trace i don't think....on another topic i was maybe going to get a bunch of us to come on up to my palce in the summer this year,maybe have a little re conference...in between the canoeing, camping fishing, hunting, whatever...i don't drink, but maybe have a couple cooley canadian beerski"s.....pickster
