Scooters are sold, truck is sold, bigscreens are sold, half the computers are sold, furniture is sold, and mother-in-law & niece has flown out.
Cars & personal effects get loaded onto the barge tomorrow.

My posessions are down to 1 wife and 2 laptops.
For 2 weeks.
In an empty house.

I'm thinkin' bout' gettin' me some...............Alaskan-style, one last time.
I just looooooove fresh Alaskan King Crab.

Looks like an opportunity for a "second honeymoon" of sorts.

Anyway, I hope everything works out for you guys. And hopefully, we'll be seeing you back on PFF pretty soon.

No need to switch. Just sit on your right hand for a hour and perform a lonely stranger.

No no no, you got it all wrong! Feed the wife some GHB and have fun. There aren't any witnesses now.

Too much?

Hey Boonie, if you get down this way give me a holler, I got some great stuff here.

More like really small Crawdads, but not bad if you boil them while drinking a lot of alcohol. (the alcohol is key)

Best wishes to ya.
It'll be busy, stressful, and frustrating at times.
You'll be stronger for coming through this change in your life.
I have no doubt that you have the brains and the guts to make it work.

The reason being is I don't know where i'm going!
At 50 i'm just taking a leap of faith and trying to find a new job and a new home somewhere i've never been.

Without any real available means to do so, it is the TRUE measure of hyper-intelligence!

I may really end up homeless begging coin on the street.
No kidding.
I have NO fall-back.

My prediction?
As always, i'll figure something out, and continue to hold all these people together.

P.S. I'm shipping my effects & cars to Seattle. Put everything but one car in storage, then we are going to drive down the Washington/Oregon coast for 2 weeks looking for a place to live & work.

Well I am sure PFF people will help to keep Boonie from panhandling.

If I was still living on Whidbey Island, I'd have made sure you could have stayed there with me for a while anyway.


(Whidbey Island is in Washington state's Puget Sound region for those who are not familiar with WA)

Thank you all for you well-wishes.
It really means alot.

The house is noticably empty, and more then just a little creepy.
It feels naked and cold.

I think after 40 years, I have put down more roots then I realize.
Not in people persay, but in the actual dirt.
The life that was lived above what passed under my feet.
The land, and it's heartbeat.

Very strange feelings indeed.

Mother-In-Law and neice going to Philly? We'll keep an eye on 'em for you. If you're around about the 4th of July, maybe you'll get an invite to our neighborhood bash. The invite reads Bring one or more of: Food, Alcohol, or Explosives.

Lotsa good PFF'ers in Eastern PA, New Jersey area. Let me know what we can do to help. This is a terrifying leap into the fog after all that time in the same places.

Best of luck, and we're sending our love & prayers your way.

I know this isn't the same thing, but I packed up my house in Denver and moved to Texas this year. It felt weird - I had been in Denver 10 years.

It will be tough from time to time, but everything happens the way it should, and you have a world wide community of friends who have your back. Who else can say that?

Yeah, but PFF friends will go to the mat for you. Not like those pansies. They all ended badly. Where were their friends then?

They'll just help 'ya kill people. WE'LL help you hide the bodies. You want SMART friends, don't you?

THAT'S why you keep coming back here...
