    Hey guys.... I finally got my dream shot. After 12 interminable years living in Maryland, the Land of Taxes... I took a lateral move to a much larger territory back in my home state of VA. It means almost double the pay! I'll be moving to the Fredericksburg, VA area in the next few months. This is a WIN-WIN for more money and getting back to where I wanted to go! I spent all last week in VA... I leave my house in MD and drive down early on Monday mornings and drive back late Friday night or Saturday. I have plenty of friends and family to stay with so I can rotate where I am staying so I don't go crazy. (And they don't either!)

    This means I won't be on as much for a while. I sold most of my CF-30s that I had for sale and only need to build another one for a friend so I most likely won't be buying stuff like I did. It will take a while to get a shop all set up! I may not have space as we'll likely have to rent until I find property and build.

    The move means 10-20 acres and a house to be built. My mom is 80 so we will build an In-Law suite so I can send her to HER room now! LOL I spent 10 days over Thanksgiving last year beside her bed in the hospital down there after she fell. She is home and better now. (Nothing broken) But I still worry about her. I couldn't imagine putting her in a home... If it gets closer to that point my wife would take care of her, at least for now.

    I will still be available via PM if anyone needs anything. Just wanted to let you all know not to worry if you don't see me for a while.

    Take care,

    Rick

    Jeff... Wait until August to send the sheep. Virginia humidity is fierce then and I'll need something to wipe my brow! LOL
