looking at Amazon.com its about 300 and some dollars for 3 years of coverage. expensive but well worth it. with my desktop its not worth buying insurance for it. the chance of it breaking is very low.

I would suggest getting insurance on it. I have broke my share of laptops in the past. especially with children around the house.

On my PC I run both standard and 4X maps. I do not see any performance difference between the two types of maps. In the game there is squares and how populated these squares are is how your PC will perform. I find with a U.K. style map that is loaded up with fences and hedges makes my PC work harder...

Wow, you got a nice machine. My Alienware is several years old and still plays the game good. I hate the idea of spending 2300 dollars on a new one so I hope mine lasts awhile.

I noticed this with the bale wrapper also. it turns hay back into grass so I don't use the tedder anymore when wrapping bales. I guess dry hay wouldn't ferment.

if you have no plans of chopping corn then the loading wagon may be better fit for you. I use the forage harvester for corn, chopping grass and harvesting populars so it pays for me to have one. if I need hay I bale it.

do you use a churn. I remember my Grandparents making buttermilk they came from the old country. Wow no booze?

they must be running water through the system to keep the knives cool. like you said they must be crazy. A machine like this costs about 600k or more then take a chance of burning it up. wow.

IRL you would catch your forage harvester on fire if you tried chopping dried straw so it is unrealistic. For realistic reasons I chop my corn green. I haven't tried chopping green wheat yet it may not work. same with chopping dried hay as with the straw. with hay I either bale it or pick it up with...

What you mean by marring someone from your settlement? Also, so if you leave from the culture, you get shunned and can never go back? I married outside of the faith. It was a really bad marriage neither of us were faithful to each other when my two daughters grew up I left her and because of that I...

when I first started reading your post I thought you were feeding the Army.

Big grilling weekend what does everybody like to grill? Monday I am going to grill some bratwurst maybe some burgers and serve it with potato salad and baked beans.

Yes I was so now I get shunned.

If you grew up that way its not bad. I grew up with no tv no radio but we did have cars and tractors. I left the Mennonites about 35 years ago. I pay 150 dollars a month to Directv and very seldom use it. never turn the radio on in the car because I didn't grow up with it. The Internet is a differen...

That is one thing I don't miss about Iowa is the weather. The weather was too extreme for me. I lived in Iowa from 1994-2000 and seen minus 70 degrees F windchill. Being born and raised in California I wasn't use to it. With the exception of a few hurricanes I like the weather here in North Carolina...
