Yep. Your lucky if they are 75#’s these days.

My brother makes grass small squares to sell to the horsey freaks. They run from 60 to 75 pounds. He's been selling them for $3 off the trailer or $4 if he has to store them in his barn.

But I feel hotter without the cover shirt

Now!?!? I pay $3.75 per bale just for cut, rake and bale!!! Holy cow we gotta get outta here

 

[Spikedriver]

These days I usually wear a light undershirt and a “light” long sleeve western shirt. More for sun protection than anything I guess. I’ve yet to find a sunscreen that doesn’t allow me to turn lobster in minutes.

Ummm...I don't know what to tell you. I use something like SPF 40 or 50 and I won't burn. But my skin only burns once and then it's tan until winter...

 

[Double R]

Think the last horse hay price was $20.75 for “inexpensive” horse hay

I'm not sure what Missouri hay goes for. South Missouri is hilly and rocky. I doubt there's a lot of large scale hay production. North and Central Missouri make a crap ton of hay though...

One thing I’ve noticed is Missouri has a lot of time of green grass. There is a “dry season” but nothing like here. Even if we had to buy hay it wouldn’t be in the amounts like here (in theory)

You won't here. Trust me on this.

 

[Double R]

I will trust you. I’m taking it as a positive adjustment. Think it’s a fair trade off vs being here

 

[Double R]

Good morning @Patchouli!

Right. There's definitely no need for irrigation in Missouri. So long as you don't over-graze you can run your critters on pasture from green up until winter.

Hi Patch!

I’m soooooooooooo looking forward to that. We’re downsizing greatly anyways.

 

[Patchouli]

I’m checking in, got most of the presents wrapped. Heard from a late arrival family member and am relieved they’re in the area and off the road. Spike, good descriptions of the heat and humidity, matches the east coast summer. Double R you’d probably love Missouri.

Missouri has a lot going for it. I'm not so familiar with the far southeast part, but near Springfield would be a fine place to live and you'll probably do great. Hashbrown is from that area. He could give you pointers...

Nice! Other than a few loaves of bread everything is done. Most presents are delivered now. It’s a good feeling isn’t it?
Nice to know family is off the road. We had a close friend and her family headed over the Sierra’s headed back to Idaho. It was a great relief when they got off the road. Pretty nasty up there.
I hope we do love Missouri. I’m a bit “scared” though. Very far from what we’ve always known. But sure seems like it’s more like what we’ve known there. Probably doesn’t make sense but it feels like what home used to be. Except even more “free”.

I hope he does. Once we leave here we can’t come back. The thought scares me but everyone I know who’s left doesn’t for a second regret it so I’m trying to be hopeful it’s the right decision. Hope people are nice. Especially hope they don’t hold this state against us. That’s a concern since so many crazies leave and take the crap with them and try and ruin other places.

 

[Patchouli]

This area feels good to most in my family but others are yelling about what a great place this is to live…the cost of housing has more than doubled since we moved here 13 years ago. I can’t afford it on my own. Late spring would be a great time for a trip. Just plan it and do it! I’m excited for you.

 

[Double R]

Thanks Patch!

 

[Patchouli]

A friend I met here, who unbeknownst to me, lived near me in PA, has moved to Missouri and loves it more than anywhere else. Low costs, friendly people, according to her.

Are you still in Texas, Patch?

 

[Double R]

Goodnight you two. Sweet dreams

 

[Pearl]

Good evening everyone who’s still up

Went to bed early, rough day!! So GOOD MORNING!!

Message me your email and the type of properties you would be interested in, and I'll have my wife put you on a subscription that will send you everything for sale.

Yeah, get DoubleR out of Cali!!

 

[Double R]

Yeah, get DoubleR out of Cali!!

That’s the hope. Praying it works out very soon.

 

[Patchouli]

Are you still in Texas, Patch?

Yes, I’m still in Texas. We’re having a major influx of people from all over the U.S. relocating to the nearby metropolitan areas. My church is growing so much they’ve had to realign boundaries and create new wards (congregations) because there were too many people in the original wards.

Yeah I've heard Texas is getting Californicated, especially in the Austin area. It's kind of sad, really. The California virus keeps spreading and ruining the good parts of the world.

@Double R excluded, of course...
