My question was in jest. I have investors that have worked with me in the past. I have typically tripped their money. If my offer wins I can get $2 million with a few calls. My last project cost $5 million and returned $30 million. My worst deal cost $3 million and returned $17 million. This one will cost about $4 million, land plus development costs. Potential return $70 million. I really don't think I will get it for $2. Even as raw land it's work $6-8. Winning on Hump Day! |

Plenty of that going on just across the river from here ATM with a herd of cows on this side of the hill this morning. Cheers. |

Not too long ago there was this 'herd' of 40 wayward bovines, of the 40, 39 were rounded up to their final corral, the one that was separated was adopted and still lives, unlike the 39. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Well that's the weed spraying done for another few weeks again as the temp here is now at 15C (feels like 13C) and still going up (at this rate we'll pass the expected 16C). Now I'm going to enjoy a beer or 2. Cheers. |

How to persuade a anthropomophobic(sp?) guard dog to not guard off a traumatised workman?! And we have sunshine :-) See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Many fields have been crossed... One was lost! (Need to find that one another day.) And I surprisingly survived a highly agitated guard dog by dint of a few tasty nibbles for the beast... Her low rumbling grumbling growls were as much felt through the ground as merely heard... She even broke her harness in her 'enthusiasm'... Now to catch up with the rest of the world! And beer! And time flies far too fast and the daylight is now noticeably too short. Also suffered another ding on the bonnet from a flying projectile from an unaware over-rushed over-hasty no-cares construction site 'operative'... Luckily 'just missed' serious damage... All part of the fun! See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Winning now that my bills have been taken care of and as I enjoy my last coffee break for the day before beer o'clock arrives. Cheers. |
