Congratulations well done what a lovely birthday present to yourself.
Thanks. I'm a bit of a survivalist and always thought I was being hypocritical by not having a way out of the city in case of a disaster (they give us volcano kits at school, you do the math...) or the government gets on my nerves too much. This way, I can buy an SUV and be on my way to Montana in a moment's notice. It doesn't do much good to have a bug out bag and emergency rations if you can't bug out, huh?
I'm moving to Iowa at the end of the year (hence the need for a license). I figure with a little studying, I can learn to make my own fuel out of some of that good Iowa corn : )
