It is fun going over Bill's to "shop"...

No..I have 4 acres of woods and its perfect for just piling the junk up out of sight. After 20 years of piling...%)

If I lived in a housing development, I would be 'that neighbor' that everyone else hates and calls the county on for violating junk ordinances... In fact..a few years ago a realtor did threaten to call me in. I had to quickly move like 8 or 9 vehicle carcasses and probably a dozen engines, axles etc so they couldn't be seen from that side of my property.

what are the homemade "jacks"? im assuming that is stuff you found in you bronco that the PO left behind, but i have to say i think those little metal 'objects' are the strangest things ever...

Those are caltrops, you throw them in the grass and any way the land, they have a point sticking up. Great for keeping people from driving all over your property, they pop tires to the point that they are un-fixable. I knew a guy who had a running feud with a big ranch in hunting season. The ranch hands were driving their quads in national forest illegally and were purposefully scaring game, so the guy made a bunch of those and tossed them in the area where the quads were going. I think the year that he did it, the ranch lost something like 8 quads worth of tires.

I AM that neighbor!

(notice the For Sale sign on the bronco windshield. I thought it might give the neighbors some hope! )
