I made clear and special instructions to remove the cigars and ship them off before cutting up my body and packing it into the totes. Caskets are expensive.
I'll have to mine for a new addy when you get settled. Loose lips sink ships. If I buy enough beers for 8track when I'm back in WI I think I'll be able to weasel some intel out of him I’ve had that elusive tidbit of info for about 6 or 7 years. I can proudly say I never divulged it. Nor, will I say how I was able to confirm that I had the correct coordinates. |

This thread has passed 500 and appropriately, Mac is about to hit the road.
So if it hits 1,000 he has to move again. |

I did not read the entire thread...
BUT ???
Your moving lock stock and barrel to Florida without purchasing a new H.U.T. YET?
OR
YOU HAVE A NEW HUT IN FLORIDA ALREADY?
IS YOUR STUFF IN "PODS" THAT CAN SIT AROUND TILL YOU FIND A NEW HOUSE?
OR YOU GOTTA UNLOAD IT INTO a storage unit...
Man, nothing like double and triple work...
I did that once when I was 35???

MACS wrote:They sent me tax bills for a boat I sold a year after I sold it... You're likely right, though they will be shredded immediately.
As soon as my next house purchase goes through, and I have a permanent addy in Florida, I will register my vehicle, get my license, change my address for my CalPers retirement account, and switch my state to Florida... so CA can no longer tax the money they're giving me for the rest of my life. 1) I am fairly certain you only have 10 days to do it all- to be legal once you get here. Let me know if you want me to research it. 2) Better switch your auto insurance to Florida auto insurance right away- like day one or two. Just call USAA. Buy stacked UM coverage no matter what they tell you- PERIOD! 3) Better register to vote ASAP because primaries are coming up soon. I think you can do it when you get your D/L. |

Did 570 miles day 1, 600 today. About halfway done...so Friday afternoon arrival is likely, barring any glitches. I like the 80mph speed limit in TX... apparently it's okay for the semi's to go that speed, too... because the fuckers do! Those tires ain't meant for that **** and is probably why I've passed a hundred of them in the gat dang road, all blown apart. Truck was getting 19.5 mpg until the cruise got set to 80... now it's like 18. |

If I recall correctly that 80 mph speed limit ends somewhere around Kerrville,just west of San Antonio. I-10 east of San Antonio is still good road.When you get past Houston I-10 blows but Lowsyana I-10 will make you wanna pull over and blow your brains out.
