Hey I'm back - at work anyway. I have no PC or internet at home yet.

The move went very well - took forever, but all the furniture is in the house (undamaged), and I had the movers put my boxes in the garage so that I'm not tripping over boxes all day long.

House was friggin FILTY! Still have a ton of cleaning to do.

The "boys" seem aclimated to their new home - fondly dubbed the "Toy Box" The second garage is HUGE. 26' x 30'

I am very stiff. Right now I'm physically and mentally exhausted.

Oh well. I'll get pics soon!

Rim of the world cruise ROCKED!! Had a blast in the SS and all that

Local buyer magically fell through when I wouldnt take his Personal Check.. go figure.. his excuse? "couldnt find room in the garage.. selling a car is a "flake o rama" for sure..

Buyer in NY is all funded and ready to go.. should have the funds in a week and then I stop driving it and get the SS all detail. Then wait for the truck. Sad to see it go but excited about the next project.. this one should keep me busy for the next 5 to 10 years

Glad you had fun. At the Rim of the World.

Man just give me tha damned keys to your car - its like the fifth buyer! :p Well at least you didn't tell the NY buyer you nearly sold it local.

Got a a lot of work done/started on the house. So much to do, so little time - and I don't know where to start!
