Seems pretty reasonable.


Not harsh at all . I can do all that an more . Just don’t depend on anyone but myself for 99% of things needed done . Fix go right now and saw up lumber on my portable sawmill to build my own barn a work on my cedar gun cabinet. Don’t need computer or phone for any that just common sense
