Wow sounds like I am living your life too F3. As soon as you think you have breathing room a nice kick in the gut is just around the corner.
One thing I will share is that our county has fucked up the property taxes around here for the last 6 years. For 3 years they had everyone assessed at 5 x the amount anything was worth. There were disputes and readjustments. We have been paying provisional in some years to get 'caught up' [?] they still owe me money on our house, but this year is special because they want us to pay two years worth on the farm acres in one year
This too shall pass ... like a kidney stone...
