Title: Not Bad If I Say So Myself...
Post by: Ignorance Is Bliss on June 06, 2026, 09:53:58 AM
Tenants moving in. Horses back on this beautiful farm. I'll decided who will occupy the barn, that could be anyone from any discipline. Some new additions on the way, one of which being a true riding arena. I want it in the infield of the track. Only took me a couple months to get this place fully functional again.  tmbz1

Looks really good Mike tmbz1
That is one of the cool things about my job painting homes
You get to turn lemons into lemonade
Seeing the before and after pictures,especially from what used to be in bad shape
I don't blame you at all for being selective.
Honest day of hard work helps keep a man young..mind,body and soul..
Although my 52 year old body wishes it had the 25 year old body back,but people marvel at what I can still do at my age.
Good luck finding occupants

without before pic's its' kind of hard to tell what you did. Sweep out the cobwebs? Paint the old fence post? Fire up the track and drag the track? Either way good for you for taking it on.

The hatred runs deep. Meanwhile all he accomplished was typing anonymously into a chat forum. I guess I'm supposed to itemize the work I've actually put into this farm for the past two months. Far beyond the capability of people who sit on buckets angry at life all day. And I do this for the enjoyment of it, it's easy for me. Haven't even gotten to shooting the fences yet. Still need to work on the generator and sprayer. Plenty of time for that. Next is filling the farm with horses again. And there's no rush for that either. Don't be jelly...come stop by! tmbz1

A little defensive Mike? I complimented on your attempt at injecting some life into the place. But some before pic's would've been nice to show people the scope, that's all my friend. Keep up the good work and maybe I will drop by as it's not exactly that far from my place.

Defensive? Say your name. Other than that you were incorrect on each point and I don't need your compliments. Place speaks for itself, it was dead and a mess. Now it's not. Remember, you people mean nothing beyond the bandwidth of Horseplop. Don't forget that... tmbz1

"you people"--there you go again Mikey, that's where you lose many that otherwise applaud what you're trying to do. In the beginning it was about the cause, cleaning up the industry of the filth. Everyone can get behind that. But somewhere along the way you made it about yourself and that continues today with your dreamland rants. Here's a cheat sheet for ya champ: you're not the first guy who's tried to get a commission to do their job better and you're certainly not the first guy who's worked hard on a farm for two weeks. Hope that helps you get back on track, pardon the pun.

How's go fuck yourself for an answer? Stop by here like an adult. What makes you think I give a flying fuck what opinions you chicken shits have of me? Are you fucking serious? Blew the cobwebs off the place? Yes, it's about me. Without me it's still shuttered with no water or electric in the fields or barns. No operating.machine ry. A track covered in weeds and grass. Two destroyed drags. Fields overgrown, trees down and busted fencing everywhere. A tractor destroyed by a squatter who thought he was cute. One guy showed up and remedied it, me. Like I give a fuck what you or anyone else says, seriously? Stop by, expose who you are. Then we can really talk and I'll take you around the farm to see what I didn't do. ngc3

All for free Mike? If not, then you're bragging about getting a job, that's kind of pathetic. And because of how you've treated others that have taken your call, I'm reticent to drop by and chew the fat with you. Don't need the headache and at the end of the day that's all you are. The irony is you have Jeff Gural have more in common then you don't---except the money of course. And don't forget to charge OT to the boss.

Expenses alone, vet, stabling, training, stakes, travel, etc you make a very good argument for fractional ownership.

How much do you get billed and send in a month for your 1/6000 horse ownership?

A buck, $2?  ngc3

Could you send $20 and get covered for the year and it get discounted if you advance pay?  ngc3
