want to invest??
« on: December 12, 2024, 01:46:14 AM »
buddy and i figure if we had 5 or 10 refrigerated 18 wheelers and trucked snow to rich yuppies down south so their kids can play in snow on Christmas morning we could mine our front yards and get rich ;) i own the snow mine and all youd have to do is finance the trucks and we could split the profit ;D

  That won't likely work very well..

  ..But curiously, about 14 years ago, My wife and I hosted an exchange student from Ecuador, while my son, wife and grandaughter next door, hosted
   a girl from Chihuhua  Mexico.
 
   Both Stefi and Melisey were bubbly 11th graders (high school juniors), and they brought satisfaction and joy to our lives..

  Melisey sent videos to her friends back home in Chihuhua, which she took during one of our "lake effect" storms.

   Her friends were intrigued and excited..saying.."please send us some of that snow !"   :D ;D

Hate to break it to you northern types but we southerners live down here cuz we don't like snow. We don't want any, you can keep it all. Thanks, but no thanks.

  While at 88 years,  I am no longer thrilled by the snow..believe it or not, there are many who are just waiting for winyter to set in.

    First, there are the trappers..no trapping like winter trapping.  ..And I always enjoyed still hunting for deer, during the winter.  About 4 inches of
   snow works very well when doing this.

      Then there are the other winter sports..  Some folks can hardly wait for the winter season, so they can fire up their snow machines for some
       serious action.  Some are solo, but many are in clubs..trails are marked out through many, many miles of hills, valleys an fields.

   Folks seem to think nothing of firing up and going 40-50 miles in a night..often stopping at places for refreshment..one often sees several snowmobiles parked at a popular restaurant...having arrived there through the woods.  https://www.tourchautauqua.com/play/snowmobiling

  Then there are the ski slopes...Ellicottville is about 12-14 miles south of me.  Often called the "Aspen of the east"..it is very busyall year long..from rodeos to the winter sports.  It works well for my son..his real estate photography is preferrednby many, and he has by now, done some of theos chalets worth a million dollars and  up, multiple times, as they change hands.  Real estae and real estate photography is a self-renewing business.

   I'll spare you winter video though, and just furnish views from summer game cameras located near Ellicottville.
