That house looks very nice Jan- a lot newer than any of the bunmch I have owned. Part of me always wanted something newer - but it never seemed to fall into place... I'd love to have my own built- but thats out of the financial picture...
100 miles west - so a bit further than Corning - my brother lived in ALfred for a while- thats about the only thing I know out there. I've looked at NC and a few other places- but jobs never materialized...

Actually, I did a mapquest thingee and the house is 168 miles west of Binghamton, about 3.5 hrs drive. And it isn't new, built during the early 1900's and just well kept by a retiring couple who want to do the RV thing around the country.
There's even additional heating in the form of a coal fired furnance outside, as well as a coal storage "grain" mill. The detached barn/work shop is heated that way.
Ha, lol! Noticed I said "barn." Farmer jan, aka redneck jan, aka shotgun toting, truck drivin' jan
P.S. Kevin, thanks!

Boy Jan, it'll be a shame to see you go. Of all the nutjobs in our group, you always seemed to inject a sense of reality. Well, in your own warped way... :lol:
I'm sure I speak for the group when I say we'll be here for you if you need help.

Thanks again, guys.
Lonnie--I'm not gone yet. You still have 3-5 months to get to know me And I guess, I you...
Joe--thanks for that offer! I really feel bad about giving up my corals and fish, especially my fish. I might just take you up on that offer when the time comes to do so.
Bill--right back at you. But did you ever think that sometimes there's alot more sense to be found in artfully applied wackiness than alot of the other things going on about us? For instance, a couple of lessons I learned from a few people I knew at one time or another:
Sgt Cohen, looking for help as the engine sputtered flames, spies Sgt McIntire and runs across the tarmac and field toward him. "Sgt McIntire, Sgt McIntire!!!" Cohen yelling, out of breath. Cohen screams "Weber dropped the wrench and there was puddled fuel and a spark and Sgt McIntire, Sgt McIntire, flames are shooting out of the engine!!!
McIntire, still aloof after Happy Hour, steps back a few feet and shakes his upper torso. He then raises his arms, slowly moving them up and down and up and down repeatedly. Smiling calmly, he looks Cohen right in the eye, almost soberly, and says "slowly, slowly, slowly..."
No panic there.
"Then there was Radar Ralph, who made $3-4 million side-lining souvenir trinkets during Cohen's earlier days in the Air Force. Ralph often looked like a bit of a slob and to the casual observer often appeared as dumb as he looked. But those close to him knew better.
One of Ralph's greatest traits was his ability to listen to what others had to say, even those who always seemed to have something to say, with a kind of patience seen in relatively few others. Even when that brash sort or braggart would harp on and on and on about this or that, when the time came for he or she to ask what Ralph thought about their ideas, Ralph would pause for a moment, hand on chin like the Thinker, and respond with a slight nod of his head, perhaps accompanied by a small grin, and with surety say "You know...? I didn't know that."
Yep, Radar Ralph and his millions, the man who knew nothing
So when you see me coming and I'm acting stoopid, when you're trying to figure out what this kinda crazy looking guy might be all about, just keep in mind that maybe that sheet-eating grin on my face is little more than just the culmination of a number of wacky folks preceding me.
Now if I could only package that and sell it
I rest my case, and bag of farts.

You probably ought to go with your gut feelings then.
Sorry, but I'm in no hurry to shutdown the tank, and I'm not giving up the hobby. So give me a couple of months and I'll probably post what I'm gonna sell, but not before then. At this stage of the game, I'm still not sure of what I'm going to part with and what I'm going to keep.
I just know that after the move, I want a bigger tank
Not a giant, huge tank, mind you, just something bigger.jan
P.S. ...and that was my 500th post.

Chuck, you really have an amazing talent to be able to turn any conversation into a "Master of your domain" conversation, and to bring every single LIRA thread to the brink of getting censored.
Good job!:beer:

Well, a lot of us married guys were hoping Ray could play the part of the Rabbit for Easter, but he keeps jumping on the same bunny. Then there was some high hopes for Brad, but he high tailed it out of here as soon as he rediscovered women (the other white meat).
Who's left? There are hopes for Christine, but that's only if she's seriously into other women. As hopeful as that cumare comment and her confession sounded, I don't believe she would really forsake "man"kind.
So the duty rests on Kevins shoulders, but we'll have to wait a few years before our savior comes of age.
Jan,
Your wit and imagination go beyond the bounds of my simple mind. I really do think you're a walking train wreck and that's why I'll miss you. You're down to earth and human, kind of like Johnny Cash, without all the women and drugs. Well, maybe without the women. Yet I'm sure you have quite a few stories to tell.:fun1:
