It's official.. We are moving. The job was offered to me this morning. We will be moving to the Carthage, TX area. Long term opportunity. I have to be there on Oct 3rd. So, as soon as these last small parts come in and get put on.. I'll be done for a little while on Marley.

Anyone in this area of TX? I know the area well.. I had a fabshop in Tyler for a few years in the late 90s.

That's great! I hope to see Marley driving around Fort Worth if you ever get around here.
 
If ya get close swing thru Bonham, have 150 acres if ya need a place to stash something......

Tex, thanks.. Maybe we could meet up in Mt Pleasant or someplace one day for a beers, BBQ, and a trail or two..:grinpimp:

My baby brother lives in Paris TX. If I drive out I'll give you a heads up. Get an eye on marley first hand haha.

Congrats on the job!

Congrats bro! Texas should be a bit warmer than WY :cool:

Definitely warmer.. we like the cooler weather.. It'll take me a bit to re-adjust to the heat and HUMIDITY! But, I can DO IT!


Might have to get more info on this. I sure am gonna be happy to have a club nearby.

You know, when you and your family leave, the population of Wyoming decreases by 10%.

Not quite that much but point taken.. 560K in the state vs that many within a few mile radius HA!

Hey dude, think I found another lust for you... check the KSL adds as there is a PIG for sale on there! Sure that is the last of your wants right before you move! But hey, maybe the daughter can drive the pig!

I'll pass for now.. I think the grand rents are looking to get her a Camry... So, the PIG is still on the back burner.. Thanks for the looking out though.. :beer:

Got a little done on the drawers but still have a night or two to go on them... MAN I HATE MOVING!!!:mad:

won't find a better bunch anywhere!!!!!
 
Gosh, I love it. The boxes, the packing, the deciding what to get rid of, the cleaning. It's right up there with painting parts. Lol.

YOU NEED THERAPY! HEE HEE!

I will try and finish my storage drawers this weekend so I can load those up with tools and whatnot for the trip.

I'm tempted to try and mount two solar panels to the roofrack with two gas shocks to raise the panels during camping excursions before I leave.... BUT ???

Still waiting on my parking wires for the drums... SO, it'll be a hurry up and work into the wee hours to finish a few things..

I'm bad, I've already scoped out 5 boats on craigslist... Man I love Bass and Crappie fishing.

Geez they are having you start right away aren't they... didn't you explain that you have other obligations here first! :grin:

Man I wish I still lived in the valley, loved going crappie and black bass fishing. Part of the "rig" next year will be getting my fishing license with the BIL and heading up into the Tahoe Wilderness to find some good Rainbow or Brook Trout spots!

Very sexy. Looks similar to a set of drawers that a buddy and I built for his 80 back in '09. Worked out really well!!
 
Very nice J! The drawer sliders don't seem like Home Depot jobbers judging by the slide distance... care to elaborate? Weight capacity?

Thanks, as always!

Thanks Johnny.. They will serve my purpose well. I may redo the fridge slider to be a flat topper so I can put a smaller drawer under it for misc utensils and things.

Dan, the white sliders/30" are from Ebay.. 150# on those. The other is a 24" from Amazon- 100# capacity- ShopFox was the supplier if I remember correctly.
