I moved out to a remote unworked ranch mostly for the peace, quiet and country when I was really just looking for a new rental home. Retired now except for freelance writing which is hardly physical and had concerns of sitting around too much. But holy hell, there's more physical challenges in simply daily life than I expected just maintaining the place or existing in winter. A late summer arrival had me throw in just a couple casual gardens that super produced and can start more with more open fallow cropland than for which I have capacity. Throw in tons of rattlesnakes and giant gopher snakes and that alone keeps up the blood pressure simply going out (sidearms required).
63 years old, underweight on arrival with eroding but mostly working hip. 7 months in and feeling stronger in all ways. Oh, plenty of jumpscares and simmering panic with matching limited resources to extreme expenses, running on fumes to the next gas, half-mile access roads across alfalfa fields just to get the dirt road leading to pavement making a joke of 4WDs but POINT is that it took a little extra effort each day for things I took for granted. Kids and people need challenge; embrace them as doing nothing is the only sure thing. Easy to say but also each white-knuckle horror becomes a grand adventure on the other end (depending on end price, of course but generally speaking).
And must note the tools, relics and abandoned machinery from the 1880s to 1960a still packing barn, bunkhouse and fields that daily mock any compliant I might raise.
I can't eat once a day that's unthinkable for me. I eat 3 times a day but, I take 12 hours brake till breakfast.
Why is the Monkey not Changing Anymore …??
Our feet are not built for shoes. Lmao
Modern shoes are terrible for feet.
