Some fishing, some farming

Amature too, though grew up with pipe on my shoulder and humping bales
for the dairy cattle. Flashbacks of bone crushing days where a 14
year old could burn through 10,000 calories in a day 'cause after
feeding the dry cows, I went to swim team, school, swim team and then
milking (during school I didn't milk) and work till dark, then did
homework.
Just had to cut my prairie restoration as the neighbors determined it
didn't meet the "neat and tidy" clause in the covenents. Whats up
with friggen covenents anyway? Just a way nosey neighbors can get
into your business.

Here in Urbana if someone starts "prairie restoration" the city
will send a warning and if you're still too lazy to mow the lawn
the city will mow it for you and send you a bill for $500.

Well, if your business involves an old washer, dryer and tireless
pickup truck on blocks rusting away in your front yard I'd say
your neighbors should have a right to make you clean up your yard.

I would agree with the washer/dryer, etc... however some of the HOA go way
to far. A buddy has his boat on the side of his house behind a 6 ft. fence
that you can't see thought. You could see about 2 ft. of the boat tower
above the fence. They made him drop the tower down so it wasn't visible from
the road. Pretty unreasonable if you ask me...

My aunt and her husband had some of the most restrictive I've
ever heard of in Irvine, California. Everything from the type
of shrubs and bushes to the color of the roof on your garage.
But nobody put a gun to their heads to make them sign on the
dotted line when they bought the place.

You make a good point for sure. In my buddy's case, I guess the HOA
president was a real jackass. They appealed the tower issue and got it
thrown out. He now sits on the HOA board and that president was ousted. They
too have some strict guidelines, one being a list of colors that they can
paint the house.

In the beginning, until they appealed the situation, now they don't have to
put it down.

Exactly, Caynon Road, Santa Fe here we come. Ah the taste of tamales
in the park, and Juan's modest smile

Dave
Sad note: Ive belatedly learned that Juan Tafoya, (1949-2006), of the
San Ildefonso Pueblo, a master potter in the Black on Black style, a
student of Maria Montoya Martinez, Povi-ka, "Flower Leaf," . . .died.
May the Great Spirit make a place for him, may his children use what
he taught them, may they carry forward the work.
