So I just got back from boar hunting at my friend’s farms in Wills Point, Texas. It was about an hour from Arlington. I went there with my friends from work, Karl & Patrick. The farms are owned by Joe. He only grows hay but apparently there is a lot of money in it. And the best part is he farms only on weekends. During weekdays, he has a full time job as IT professional. Patrick and Karl were excited about farming. I enjoyed the vastness of the hay fields. I wonder what it would be like to be farmer for full time.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any boars. However, Patrick was able to shoot 2 of them by following them to their home territory in woods. It was freezing last night and I found out hard way that my sleeping bag was rated only for 42F. Also there were coyotes circling our camping ground at night. oh what a fun night it was…. NOT!
But sleepless night and long drive, made me think a lot. I have always looked for ways to simplify my life, like owning only the things I must have, not making any commitments, automating bill payments. Lately, I have been reading on nomadic life. It seems so perfect, you are free to go where ever you want. You are not tied down to a particular place. (I guess that’s why I am always against owning a house during 20’s or 30’s). Well I wish I could do what Tynan and Todd did but I am not ready yet. So I plan to explore this world on weekends. With my photography and blogging, weekend travel seems like perfect addition. I may drive or take a bus or train. I don’t know yet. I was thinking a few of places I like to check out are:
- Austin – been there but only to party, love to see this town during daylight.
- Corpus Christi
- Galveston
- Houston
- New Orleans
- Las Vegas
- South Padre
- San Antonio
- Chicago
Plans and plans!
