Finally got a STRIX 1080 using text notifications across a ton of sites to watch for when they were in stock. It was instantly out of stock again within a minute.

ROFL...that won't help you, I'm adding a digital scrambler to each camera with it's own solar panel and Lithium battery backup. Not to include the dogs, wild coyotes that are on 8 1/2 acres of open ground you still have to cover, and the neighbors surrounding my place that are all armed with their own dogs. You'd have a better chance of robbing a bank.
That's a lot of land. Animals?

The coyotes, wild javelinas (boars or pigs), a few wild mountain cats, wild dogs, and a bunch of rattle snakes are just that, wild. I have no control to when they will appear, which is one of the reasons I have the cameras, to make sure it's safe to go outside. My neighbor in back of me is a cattle rancher and has an electric fence strung all around his area. Their is no neighbor to the left of me, but a bunch of open land, same to the right, besides a railroad, the only neighbor's I have are to the front, which you have to cover 4 1/2 acres of open land to reach my residence. Including my residence has a chain link fence 7 ft. high that surrounds the property, with it's own power source.

That's awesome. I really want to buy a few acres eventually. Living in the city takes a toll.

I want to buy an island, but I can barely afford a pet rock.

My great grandma owned around 12 Acres till her partner died. Then she found it too much to bear -running the farm and the property. Decided to sell it to a sleazy bastard who only offered $40k for it, convincing her it was good deal.
The guy then resold a small block of that land for around the same price of 40k; holding onto the rest of it now worth millions.
What a kind world we live in.

My grandfather used to own a bottling plant, which produced bottled soda and bottled water.

A smaller company convinced a bank to give them a loan, so they could buy out my grandfather's company, and today, that company is called Crystal Springs.

I coulda been a contenda!
