Gonna say man, damn, like AliceMako said, one hell of a moving experience lol. Sorry to hear about your father though. Hope everything will be settled and done with, you probably feel better once this is out of your hair lol. Good to see you post though!

Yeah, still looks as though I'm outta here. I'd have loved to take the new owners at their word, but the third partner held up the sale, by adding a very strange land-use agreement, which legally, is still in force! I hate legalities, I'd love to take ppl at their word, but like we used to say, "If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage"
I disagree. Owning property is great. Only if you take it all for yourself and cut everyone else off.
You be careful out there.
Property is theft lol, but yeah I'm with you. If I want to build a green jello walrus pit, that's my call, not the landlord's ;3
You betcher boots buddy, got the truck washed, fueled and inspected today... those (vehicle inspectors) bastards are so lazy, our Governor gave up on yearly inspections, and settled for emission testing every 2 years, what a joke, damn glad I passed though, they'll still flunk you if they see anything they don't like
Oh dang, that does sound a bite strange there, yeah, I don't blame you on that one man. Never heard of anything like that before. Like what are the details if you don't mind me asking?
2-1/2 months ago, 3 investors bought the farm I've been on, for the last 40+ years. The last minute hang-up on the sale, hinged around a complex lease deal, so my older sibling and I could stay and clean it up a bit more. They granted me 2 months @ 500$ a month... with a 5K$ security deposit, which is reasonable considering the size of the property, and any post-sale vandalism
So, emotionally speaking, I'm currently in a halfway house (hotel actually), while the last bits of my stuff are stowed 'off the site'. Funny how I worked on so many 'sites' in construction and video shoots... the guy who brokered the deal called me Sunday while I was looking for a laundromat, "Yeah, I'm at the site now."
I said, "Shit man, I've never heard of my home ever being called 'the site' before," then I fell back to the brass tacks of the matter, I'd be home in 5-10 minutes. I saw his car as I crested the last hill, drove slowly around the far side of it, circling to the left, paralleling the 'back 40' field, which is gnarly... yup.
huh, never knew it was in your family will that your farm was to be sold. That makes your lack of real-world opposition to your siblings plans despite having adversity to sell your home all the more understandable. Any idea why your family wanted the farm sold after they passed?? And why do I have a propensity for typing run-on sentences??
It's good that you are deciding to make the best out of this situation that has been dragged out and not taken course as swimmingly as desired. You are a great person, perhaps the "father NewGrounder", and I wish for your happiness (again). I hope you find a peaceful place to settle down, churn out some tasty nutritious wholesome crops, relax, and continue to contribute to NewGrounds for the years to come. Nothing can take away this digital fantasy in this f*cked up world...be safe and watch out for your cornhole, buddy.
I guess it goes back to what I said before, about money being the root of all evil... by selling all assets and splitting it into 1/3rds, it takes a lot of the ambiguity out of it. Plus, my Pop was a hoarder, which made the sale of the farm while he was alive, rather impossible.
I'll tell ya, I'd feel more relaxed if the tenants next door -didn't- decide to use a disused fire pit, that's located right next to where I parked my Pop's backhoe/loader ._. Guess it's just par for the course... leaving NJ is like sending up a flare to all the locals, "fresh meat available for picking"... predators like to chase running prey lol
money isn't evil, but forcing people into a life where they become nothing more than dollar sign generators is certainly evil. That aside, some people are just blessed with nice things, in other cases it's sheer hard work and a little bit of luck, to which people with money gift them for their services. no reason not to take advantage of what you find/are given as long as it isn't at the expense of other people, and as long as you don't act entitled towards such wealth. However, when you start valuing making a paycheck more than you value doing your job, then you would be drifting towards evil.
This comment has a VicariousE-rating of 95% Thanks for saying it S3C.
It sure does have a bearing on my recent experiences out of state so far. My favorite quote from Buckaroo Banzai, "Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. Because, no matter, where you go... there you are." I guess the same is true for other people I've met over the years.
The real robber-barons live and work in the cities, and they pay their trusted servants just enough to live on the fringes of that city. From the cities, the entitlements are passed out, so that there will always be a people loyal to the robber barons, who have no choice but to buy their products anyway...
Once they killed religion, they killed community, and with those, we have no other choice but to do the deeds the robber barons would have us do.
(Almost sounds like socialism bro, but is it? Nah! Socialism places Man's law over God's law, and I think we as people, need to trust God more and Men less.... lol, it says so on the back of the dollar bill :)

Weirdest moving out scenario i've heard to date if i'm completely honest with you and i've heard my fair share over the years, including kids that lived in honest to god mansions.
Owning property is so overrated, makes me glad i declined my share of my father's estate after he passed back in twentyten.
Anyhoo, hope you don't have to rough it out for too long cus the nights are only getting longer and colder.

Eh, I've always been labeled 'strange'; strange for living on a farm surrounded by suburbs, having older parents, etc, etc...
I've never been one to gladly support middlemen, which landlords inevitably are... even me :O though I'm only 1/3 a landlord, and we sure aren't getting the kinda rent we should, or could. Bad enough a committee of 3 now own my old farm
Damn straight it's cold :( though there may be enough hot water still left in the tank for another shower... damn quick one lol
