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.

Good luck Boonie!!

I'm popping in the 8-track errrm I mean turning on the MP3 of "Flirtin' with diasaster" for ya!

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.

So, you are gettin' crabs in an empty house? All righty then...

You mean switching to my left hand?
Too much?

quote Originally posted by Boondawg: You mean switching to my left hand? Too much?

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

Ok so where are you moving? I saw so many threads where you talked about moving and I never did see where you said where you were going.

quote Originally posted by Boondawg: You mean switching to my left hand? Too much?

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

Too much?

boonie, if you ever come to the eastcoast, ill have to treat you to some maryland crabs... we are known for our crabs :P

not to be confused with baltimore crabs, you need a comb and special shampoo for those....

Good luck Boonie! This should be a really great experience! I'm really excited for you! It takes balls to make a huge change like this, but it's usually very rewarding!!!

Stay in touch with us...

You are takeing the mother-in-law with you? WHY?

quote Originally posted by Boondawg: My posessions are down to 1 wife and 2 laptops.

Well at least it is just one wife and 2 laptops and not,
2 wives and one laptop, shudders uncontrollably.

Good luck! If you're ever around IA, gimme a holler, we don't have crabs

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.

------------------

Just be sure to keep a journal of the road trip, and pictures. We will all want to read/see after the dust clears.

And ya, good luck with the adventure! ( not something i could do willingly.. )

Good luck Boonie.

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)

Mother-in-law and the niece are going to stay with mother-in-law's sister in Philly, untill I can find a job & home, then they will invade my kingdom once again.

You can always swing thru Spokane! Low cost of living anyways..

Oh NOOOO!!! Hmmmm....my dog is perfectly well behaved and docile whilst on his 'lead' ...let him OFF it....and he is uncontrollable Boonie, don't let getting free from your 'Lead' ( your marital way of life ) go to your head...they may never ever get you back in 'harness' again !!!!!
Ellie and I send our sincerest best wishes and good 'karma' for you all on your saga. GOOD LUCK!!
Nick

Happy Trials!
and keep the shiny side up.

Good luck Boonie! Say goodbye to Alaska for me.

Haha alaskin style FTW.. Where are you officialy movin to boon?

Good luck to you and your family, Boonie....we'll all be waiting to hear from you when you finally "land" someplace!

Grabbing up our shipped cars & personal effects in Seattle.
Then, if the economy is any indicator.................. your back yard.

P.S. I like beer.

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.

Zeb

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?

Charles Manson?
Jim Jones?
David Koresh?

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...

Keep 'er 'tween the ditches.

SO you are sending your belonging via a ship, then you are taking an airplane there?
