Well, guys...it looks like I'm committed to making the move from IL go GA. (My wife thinks I should be "committed" to somewhere else, but that's a different story.) Anyhow, my M37 is now loaded up on a truck and on its way to my daughter's house in Lavonia, GA. I'd post a pic, but I still can't do that on this forum.

They always think that one should be commited to something else. You should be used to by now...

good luck with the move. Start a free webshots account, post some truck pics to it and then you can post them here. It's a few extra steps, but it works well enough....

Lots of luck to you Lifer, and I hear there are lots of lawns to tear up in Georgia. Why, you might even take up that lifelong resentment you,ve always had concerning what the southerners call " The war of northern aggression". It's time to re kindle old flames ! Show them whose right ! Yes, The Civil War IS still on, and it's now your job to remind them who won ! ( Oh, I think I got carried away for a moment )

Well, it's definately "in the works" now. My daughter just called to let us know that the M37 made it to her place (ahead of schedule). The rebuilt engine and all the rest of its associated parts are still up here in Yankee-land in the back of my Dakota pickup, though. Gotta get on the road in the next few days and get them all in the same place, don't I?

Stop by & pay us a visit if your travels bring you through our area.

Lifer,
The best view of Illinois is in your rearview mirror! Good luck with your move!

Good luck on the move!
Just from knowing you here, you will find many new friends to
help you with your project, at you new digs.
I know this may sound a little wierd but isn't it exiting to
have all the pieces, and you just have to put it all together?
Do a good photo doc of the progress. I really enjoy seeing that stuff.
P.S. I also really enjoy slides of peoples vacations (glutton for punishment)

Very humid down Georgia way-get back on line soon, Lifer-be safe with your move!

Enjoy the bit more breathing space in Ga..

Greetings, gang! Sorry to have been absent from the forum for the last 2 weeks. We went down to GA on the 4th and just got back to IL this morning. I was able to access the Steel Soldiers site on my son-in-law's computer, but couldn't access this one because I forgot to take my password with me. DUH!!

Fortunately, the house my wife had been drooling over for the last 2 months was still on the market when we got there. Also fortunately, the price had been reduced by $5,000. Fortunately, too, it looked just as good from the street as it did in the internet photo. UNfortunately, it proved to be unacceptable to our needs. The listing said nothing about it being a mobile home, but that's what it was...a converted mobile home, but a mobile home nonetheless. My wife adamantly refuses to become "trailer trash," and I hit my head on the ceiling fan the minute I stepped through the front door! There was not a ceiling in the place that was more than 7' high. (I'm 6' 10" in my bare feet, so I would have had to walk around every light fixture/ceiling fan in the place!)

When that house proved not to be "the one," we extended our stay for a couple of weeks and continued looking. The first thing we discovered was that nearly everything in our price range is a mobile home. (I've never seen so many mobile homes that were not in a mobile home park!) The second thing I discovered is that you can give a real estate agent your absolute upper price limit and he or she will consistently try to show you houses ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 above your maximum! I realize that they make more money on a big sale, but they'd make just as much or more by selling the lower priced homes. They could sell 8 or 10 of those in less time than it would take to sell 2 or 3 of the high priced ones!

Anyway, we haven't given up. We had to come back to IL because I was running out of medications and had to get back to where my refills are. On my next trip, I'll take ALL of them with me!

Good luck with everything on house hunting and your new start down that way , remember one thing [ THE SOUTH WILL FALL AGAIN ] SO DUCK AND COVER YOUR ACES ! oh yea I forgot your a Fly Boy so keep your nose up and flipem off !

Glad to see you back Lifer!
