I know how you feel. I usually get up at 4:00 when working days. Ride 45 minutes to work and go over the Chowan river and always look out wishing I was out there. Use to enjoy being out in the cold, not as much anymore. This year we bought 3 1/2 acres of land around our house to go with the 1/2 acre we had. Planted 29 bushes down the property line and a bunch of trees. I replaced the roof over the kitchen by myself. Just had a 30x40 insulated metal building with 12 x 40 sheds on each side put up. Ran 350 ft. of cable and water pipe for it and wiring it all myself. Been really busy. Haven't put the V out yet but now have it under the shed, high and dry. I'm now 65 and its kicking my but working 12 hour shifts days and nights as a mechanic in the steel mill, and trying to get my building all wired and plumbed. I really miss getting out fishing and hanging out on the water. I'll try to get chance to post some pictures of my new shop when things calm down. Been wanting this land and building for 35 years, almost too late but finally got it. Gonna call it Pop Pops shop! Hope to cook a hog and make barbeque by Christmas.
