sooooo



In the latest news I have for you a few things.



Firstly my family owns property in Windsor, NY (near binghamton) it's 60 acres, about 9 of which is field that we farm and the rest is woods for hunting, trails etc. So the federal government came in 2 years ago and said "hey, we're gonna possibly need to use part of your land for running a new gas piepline through the mountains. We'll give you $50/acre per year for 5 years with a 3 year option!"...they said this to everyone in path of their new proposed pipeline.



Some people went for it and thought they made a great deal. had we gone for it it would've been making $3,000/year for 3-5 years. Well they just came back to us 2 years later (now with over 900 property owners committed) and the offer available to everyone who has not already signed is between $2,700-$3,000/acre, which we graciously accepted. We stand to possibly make $180,000/year for 5 years. FOR NOTHING. The agreement simply means they might need to use our land as an access point to the pipeline or may need to encroach on our property a bit (but the pipeline is underground, so all that they would do is clearcut a small piece) we dont surrender ANY rights to the property. So thats great.



anywho our one neighbor who was also a holdout has just shy of 2000 acres of land, thats about $6mil/year he'll be making (he was at the commission signing off at the same time as us lol)



so yea, gov't actually was cool for once...but im sure they'll disappoint me very soon all over again.



oh yea, and i have big personal news regarding a new job i may be receiving, which has been my dreams, with a company ive worked with a lot on my 1989 Turbo2 build. End result? me happy, more fun toys possible, and possible move to Florida so i can bother scott and baldy! hell maybe ill buy a boat and really be scott's neighbor. But for now I dont want to jinx it so we stay hush hush.

Yeah, yer welcome, ya bastid. That's my taxpayer dollars at work!

yea if you want just deposit it right into my paypal account https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif



and for those wondering, it's a natural gas pipeline.



Oh and I just remembered, if while doing the piepline they discover any natural gas pockets on our property we receive, duhduhduh, royalties on it woowoo.



natural gas pipelines and electrical lines are great out in the country side, it's like an offroad highway for atv's dirtbikes, trucks etc. we already have one gas pipeline not too far from our property that we have a few trails connecting too and i love riding on that



kevin.

yeah that pretty kool my father is a part of something similar they are looking for natrual gas on my neigbor and my property and they pay to access the land to take tests and what not for a specific amount of time. if they ever find any thing we get apeice of it and still get paid for them to access the land. So its basicaly win win. Get paid just for owning land is pretty kool but like you said some gay **** is bound to happen

youtype too fast but yeah thats awsome

there main thing is mowing down the pipeline over the mountains it's like a 5 county wide thing i think, i forget which counties exactly.



900k over 5 yrs for doing nothing.



kevin.

they can zig zag that **** around my house and shop if they want



for million they can run it OVER my house, lol

you'll need a letter of recommendation from me, which is of course for sale at a nominal, but now affordable fee. (for you)

why do you want to move to florida anyhow?

you like being boiled like a potatoe?

yah for a million i can just buy another house even here....
