Not familiar with that part of the world - so spill the beans, what's the attraction?

Congratulations! Looks like a great place. Population at the last census was 1203! My kind of place. Might have to put that place on our list...

Re: Mornin' Y'all
We left for a few reasons. Firstly, I just need a change. New challenges, new projects. Then there is the politics of California. Whiny liberals, sanctuary state, a moron as governor, roads that look like we had a war, gas and Diesel prices, taxes going up every day. People here are friendly, real folks. Our new place is on 5.25 acres, beautiful house, a little small, 2 bed 1 bath 1500 sq/ft but plenty big for the two of us, bonus room which will be the new sewing room. 3 huge carports, one big enough for 2 class A motor homes. All fenced, the owner is a fence contractor, so they are all very well done, electric gate, several out buildings. Nice landscaping, many trees. Most importantly, a nice big shop. All of this for 260K. The old house will probably fetch 800K. How could I say, "No"?

Carl, you did the correct thing; I'd have left long ago.Carl La Fong wrote:We left for a few reasons. Firstly, I just need a change. New challenges, new projects.

You'll love Texas; Texan's are a special lot, proud, independent minded, patriotic, can-do attitude. Texas, it's like a whole other country!
I'd like to come visit you later after you're settled-in and meet the man, the boy genius whom has provided so much entertainment and laughs.

We did meet, once, when we rode with Adrian, Pete, SQ4MN and a few others to Palm Springs. We never had much chance to talk, though. Anyone is welcome to come by, even those who said they would kick my ass if I was closer

Re: Mornin' Y'all
Congratulations on the move-out! I bailed out of Cali back in '99. The cost of living just wansn't worth it. Many more reasons now. Texas is an altogether different reality! Enjoy your new digs!
Re: Mornin' Y'all
GLWS!! Take those libtards for all they’re worth!
Haha.
Sounds like you found yourself a real gem.

Re: Mornin' Y'all
John, way to go !! I hear you. That will make for a variety of all new projects.
We are working on the whole "downsizing ' thing also. The kids are gone and in their own homes close by . We don't need an entire empty second floor. We need a small brick rancher with room enough for a big garage to mess around in ... I smell retirement in 8 months !

Congrats! Once you change your ID you can enjoy real gun shows rather than Gun shows that sell mostly pocket knives. Grab some 1911’s and a few AR’s and a pile of Ammo.
Re: Mornin' Y'all
I think you will love it. There will be many projects to keep you busy. It seems like a great place to choose.
