Yeah. I bought my place outside of city limits far enough that it's not worth the time for the city of 2500 to try annexing. Upside of living in the middle of nowhere is your neighbors tend to fall into three categories: - don't really care what you're doing as long as you don't set the place on fire (mainly because there's lots of trees) - are mildly amused at what you're doing, but it ends with amusement - are paranoid because of what they're doing, so they don't start things they don't want someone else (the sheriff) to finish Today, I brought home part of a toyota landcruiser on the trailer for parts. One of the neighbors saw it on the trailer, stopped me, and asked if I was going to use its parts to fix the green one. Works for me.
