Lynda,
I'm sure your hope of a candidate like your mythical Jesus will come along. 
Probably sooner than many of us expect him. I hope you will find some time in 
your life, to grab your Bible, go outside sit under a tree, read and listen 
to your heart. Ask God if he is real...... Maybe you will be surprised...  As 
I Grow older in the rural south I realize his many blessing..
God Bless You,
John

I agree, Rob. I've recently given more priority to getting a couple of
acres of my land under control and to where it would be easier for me
to grow crops if I could not use the tractor. I've got a goal to be
able to cut firewood without a chain saw this year.

I'm not a looking for doomsday, but think that a lot of us
homesteaders would be caught with our pants down if we could not use
our powertools.
