so I went out of town this weekend. You may think I am a big time city boy but there is a lot of country in this city boys blood. I went to perry florida it is nice up there to visit but couldnt live up there. I could however bring home one of those women up there they sure seem to know how to treat a man. :thumbup

I went and visited my grandfather and I sleeped in a room that was out side. kind of like a screened porch

his yard is huge. now my grandfather is 83 and when he moved here 5 years ago he cleared everytree off his property by himself by hand. the propertywas nothing but trees when he bought it.

this is the strongest dog I have ever seen. it jumps on you and grabs around your arm with his front legs and just holds you and if your are sitting he will pin you down.

my grandfather also built his whole place basically by hand by himself

may not be the nicest place but he likes it and that is all that counts when you get his age.

the boat on the left he also built by himself.

it is no yaught but it helped us catch some fish this weekend.



also forgot to mention it is powered by yamaha.

we also caught quite a bit of bass out f this pond and there were plenty of huge bass hitting that we couldnt get too.

more of same pond.

now remember my grandfather is 83 well last year during season of course he killed a six foot gator here and draged it all the way home.

more of his place like I said it is what he wants and that is silence

his street seen a whole 2 cars drive down his block all weekend

more of his street

not sportbike friendly on this street

Wow I could live in a place like that for like a month---thats a good thing too

NOw does he pay bills and all that good stuff too.....:dunno

now we are getting to the very sportbike virgin land next time I will have to bring my bike there are some nice streets up there

who says florida dosnt have twisties. :lol well actually the roads up there are very good for riding

getting into town (wich is a 45min round trip) and that is just to the closet store/gas station.

downtown perry

the local hang out/ nite life/ store/ girl pick up spot.

funny story real quick I was telling my father how I really like the girls up there and he said "next time I will take you to mc donalds that is were you really pick them up at" :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol sorry maybe that is just funny to me.

I had to show my dad that I could shoot his new shotgun evidently it is the most powerfull 12 guage that you can buy. it hurt my sholder for quite awhile. even though this isnt good eating it was fun to kill.

shooting range

my dads new truck and some more of the place.

now to the ocean fishing. it was very peacefull and relaxing.

we caught everything we didnt want to catch including but not limited too. 14 sharks about 1 and a half feet long. 2 trout (which isnt bad) and a bunch of other junk fish. this is very highly redfish country but we only fished for a few hours and didnt catch any.

my dad and grandfather

my father

also not good eating but it was fun shooting it with the little 410 shot gun

that shot gun was alot easier on the shoulder.

my grandfather's street. now I am warning everyone do not go down this street if you plan on doing anything bad cause my grandfather is a nice guy but dosnt tolerate much and he is very old school and will shoot you. there were even guns stuffed down the side of his recliners just in case. the bathroom even had a double barrel shot gun hanging on the wall. :machinegu :boom

rained the whole way home from gainsville to hear. :(

it isnt for me either but I am going to buy some acres up there for when I want to go up there and be by myself.

200 acres up there will run about $200,000 I don't plan on buying that much but that sure is a hell of a deal.

:no It's pretty bad when you miss a big piece of cardboard with a shotgun :machinegu

Looks like a nice area. I miss being able to drive less than 10 minutes and just start shooting.

the picture is no good but I didnt miss anything about that card board I shot it dead on if it was a turkey it would be very dead right now.

also that is the back yard you can shoot anywhere you want in your own yard and not have to worry about hitting anything that dosnt belong to you.

Hey thanks for sharing the pics, it's nice to see other areas of Fl.

If this isnt a bother, can you give me a map and is it close to Orlando/ Ocala?

I too want some land (5 acres) and if you say the right estimate, then damn Im there to buy!

I never knew there was anymore cheap land, homesteads prices are rising quickly:fact


Great pics bro:thumbup thanks

5 acres will run probably about 3-5 thousand an acre but the more you buy the cheaper ity gets. as far as a map do a search on perry, florida

and the women pictures are where?

Voodoo

BTW: Nice picutres. and you talk about his place not being much?:dunno Looks nice, smiple, relaxing, and quiet to me! Sometime it's not the money, it's the joy of building it YOURSELF and knowing that it is done correctly thats makes it worth it. On paper, it's probally worth $100k, to your Grandfather it's priceless!

Voodoo

right you are! but nowhere near 100k up there you could buy something like that for closer to 50k if not cheaper. But that is how my grandfather likes to live now. He lived in miami for most of his life and then moved to texas then there and he is very happy.

as far as the women pictures they dont take kindly to outsiders up there so when we went to town I kept the camera in the car.

You were an outsider and you stated they treated you well?

Next time, bring the ONE and see how they treat you!

Voodoo

your grandpa looks like a "take-no-shit" kinda old man.

The dog looks like he will bite your ankle and steal your chain!
