Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Don Bowen" <don.bowen@earthlink.net>]

I have a 98 Dodge pickup fully paid for.  It has 176,000 miles and I expect 
at least another 75,000 out of it.  Back when I bought it new, I looked for 
the smallest full sized pickup at the best price.  It is a regular cab, 
short bed, with a 5.2 V8 and 5 spd.  If I do everything right it will get 18 
mpg.  I live in a trailer wandering about from place to place helping out on 
farms and homesteads.  Towing I get 10 mpg.  I have already committed to 
help out building a shop in the Ozarks otherwise I would not be going 
anywhere.

This next fall I have to decide to settle down.  More than likely it will be 
in the Ozarks where I have access to a place with good water, decent soil, 
and a house with shop.  At that time I will consider what to do next.  One 
option will be to buy something small and retire the pickup to occasional 
use.  Another option if I return to California is to pull an 80s electric 
postal van I know of out of a junk yard and restore that.  In either case I 
will be buying a small motorcycle.
