Hmmm. Still trying to figure out what this has to do with anything I posted. Drawing a blank.

Can you imagine the problems with having five wives, don't think you would keep the money long. :1orglaugh

Put up some pics of your place.

Life would be better if I didn't have to imagine Donny naked.

And I have Satellite in Tahoe, it's lame. Latency is a bitch, but the speed is fast.

Donny naked isn't a good thought. :)

Do you have the 6000 series modem? I know you have DirecPC. The 6000 series does make a difference. It's still not perfect, of course, but is getting better. It's definitely not bad for those times I don't want to drive 30 minutes to the office to use DSL.

watch out for the beasts at night.
all alone with no wondering who may swoop down on your ass.

Ditto that, but sure there are those on the board that would luv to see Donny naked. There's a thought for a new site. You could be the next POV guy - naw.

I think today?s physics means that there will always be a latency problem with a satellite Internet connection. What about land based wireless? Are you line of site to any providers? In the rural areas of Middle America, this is growing in popularity. Places where DSL and Cable are not available.

As I said, I haven't taken any decent photos of this place yet. But here are a few photos of it that I took when we were out looking at houses and trying to decide what we wanted to buy next.

The place is a little over 3,000 square feet, on 16 acres. It obviously has to have a well and septic out in the boonies. This place has two septics and two 2,500 gallon water storage tanks. It also has 1,000 gallons of propane storage. That's nice because it has one wood stove and one propane heating source.

This first photo is of the living room, where I'm sitting right now as I type:

The entry way... the two windows beside the door are nice to have open to allow a breeze to pass through the house:

The kitchen area. My girlfriend HATES this wallpaper. I kinda like it because it reminds me of how my mom used to decorate. LOL.

Part of the master bedroom. Off to the right leads to the master bath.

This driveway is almost half a mile long:

And here's the other end of it: http://www.donovanphillips.com/image...e/DSC_0069.JPG


This is the "county" road from the highway winding 3 miles to the house. It's only single lane in some places, though traffic travels in two directions (what little traffic there is):

I'll get better, and more, photos later.

Just 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 3,000 square feet. But the 16 acres of privacy make up for it. It's so quiet up here!

Lot to be said for quiet. Live in the burbs, Can't complain about the location, yard or house really. If I'm sitting outside or decide to take a nap in the Florida Room, I can hear air conditioners running, road noise, jets, etc. in addition to nature.

I run naked in the house often. Drives my girlfriend nuts, she's worried the neighbors will see. They needed a good laugh anyway. Naked outside is out of the question here.
:(

Nice photos :thumbsup

Might be a bit better if you were not alone naked by the pool....

Sounds nice. Congrats.

Sounds/looks like a great peaceful, claming place. :)

Read more of the thread before posting and you'd see the mention of my girlfriend.

no. that's my dream

Wouldn't it be better if you're son was with you?

Of course it would. He's with me quite often, though. Full time would definitely be better.

That was a very touching question. I'm glad you asked it.

I'm jealous...good for you :thumbsup

f@!k the haters man, nice house, enjoy your life man... :glugglug
