Description
I am a retired professional man and I now live alone on an off grid 79 acre property with Buster the German shorthaired pointer, Misty the Irish donkey, 3 alpacas that won't tell me their names, and a multitude of marsupials. I have a military and technical background. My family has grown up and moved away, so I am seeking some companionship and assistance around the property. I have many projects including gardening, wood gathering and building projects that I need help with. I'm not a cook or a gardener so I could really do with help in those areas too.
