But short of California and Nevada I hope! :lol:


Oh yeah. I have no desire to move to a state (California) that's in even worse financial shape than Illinois is.

I'm thinking northern New Mexico... maybe even Wyoming, Idaho... something like that. No big city, I've had enough "big city" to last me a lifetime. A small town without all of the crime, corruption and traffic that we have here. Taos comes to mind. Something like that.

Are you moving out west before the "snow flies" Harry, or are you going to stick around and enjoy another cold, blustery, and snow filled Chicagoland winter?

George...that would be great but right now I have nothing to get there with...would be great if I could send you a list of parts,etc. I need to repair my dads old models and have it passed around?

Born in Waukegan, lived my first 18 years in Zion. Joined the Marines after high school in 82. I've been back a few times since leaving, the last in '02, a trip to Great America (Six Flags) with my daughter. I don't miss the cold and the snow, it gets to cold here (just across the state line from Memphis) for me. Of all the things to miss, it's the pizza I miss most. Dee.

Believe it or not, we haven't gotten any snow yet, in fact I haven't even seen much for frost yet!
