    Took my inheritance from grandma and bought 2.5 acres of Florida swamp for cheap. Knew I’d fritter it away on bullshit if I didn’t make a big move. Yes, I was lucky. No, I can’t build “permanent structures” on it. Happy as hell.

    I can shoot guns and bows, hike all over the creeks and swamps, camp, chill and see what wildlife comes out, fish, whatever the hell I like. Down the road is a dock where I can kayak, canoe, take my little 10’ boat, all that. There’s my favorite river not far and a tiny state park with a tiny lake, 15-minutes away.

    The snow collapsed my big tent, but there was a tarp over it, good for now. Bailed out of IT for a crap job at Lowe’s. Started today. Know what? I think I’m going to be happy as hell there. First thing the trainer did was give me, and my wife, a 10% discount card. Now I can finally start that cabin this spring!
