Im going to build a "Kerouac-Shack" in the woods and study nature.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. The little farm in the countryside sounds idyllic. Great idea, and I really hope you enjoy your retirement with good ole' nature.

^ Welcome to the club.

As for the book, I've always wanted to write a good fantasy story, but I can never muster enough inspiration nor discipline to actually do it. I have tons of ideas, but all are scrambled and lack coherence. Maybe one day I might.

I learned how to charge car batteries with an alternator and a windmill, so that I can read when it gets dark out.
And of course I'll be raising me some fruits and veggies. I cant wait!

I own a small property (35 acres), and you can't beat it terms of lifestyle. It's close enough to the city to do gigs, but the area still has that rural feel to it. I hate living in the city, so I've never regretted it for a second.

That does sound pretty awesome. Almost self-sustaining electricity. I hope you get your wish soon, man.

Congrats. I'm kind of envious of your home, by the sound of it.

You should add something to your signature :

''If you're not a beagle, you are not my pet'' xD
