Pat you could always move to Oklahoma and get all the acreage you want, plus have good riding weather 9-10 months out of the year......Angelis(Former New Yorker)

Pat,

does this mean the NE rally will become the
GA Rally Fall classic.

Pat, what is the job you are considering? Not sure if you said so yet...

Dude will you be able to get old episodes of This Old House? I'd be sold right there. Make sure they carry the Red Green show!

So, they call me twice again today, lowball offer that is still too low. I cannot take a 45% pay cut to move there, no matter how nice it is, still negotiating though.
By the way, got into a BIG fight with current "boss" today, told them to pack sand up their rectum and gave two weeks notice (I still want them 5 weeks vacation pay they owe me). 10 minutes later the HR witch is in my office begging me to "just go home, cool down and think about it, you been here too long." Gee, now they need me after the last 4 years of using me as a TP dispenser?
Maybe I'll just sell crack on the side of the road for a bit until I figure out a new career path, this one sux.

Wellll...like I said in private brother, I know it's selfish, but I like having you down the road. Want to do sound and lights for Western NY's next big up and coming band?

Tad

I can give you a Meth recipe.

It sure sounds like I better hurry and move south. I'll be the only TBA rider left in this frozen tundra soon.

Pat, Here is some very important information you will need WHEN you move to the Volunteer State.

Subject: You might be a Tennessean

1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, Smyrna, Buena Vista, Valdosta, Okefenokee, and La Fayette.
P.S.. Lebanon= Leb-nin, not Leb-o-nun!

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and
buggies.

6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals.

7. You think everyone from the North has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes.

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their
wedding date.

13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. Almost everyone you know is either Baptist or Methodist.

15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.

16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin'" to send them to your friends.

19. On one side of the road there's Wal-Mart and on the other is the local bar.

20. The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road."

21. "Ya'll" is a word.

22. Fried chicken is a major part of your diet

23. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the only kind of doughnuts you eat.

24. You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in a sweat in
your new sweater.

25. Your whole town completely shuts down for 1 inch of snow or just the threat of snow.

26. People actually grow, eat and like okra!

27. You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a
Southerner.

28. Your dog and your wallet are both on chains.

29. Panama City Beach, Florida is a big deal.

30. You understand that at least once a year your car will turn yellow with pollen.

31. You know at least one Bubba, and maybe a few guys named Bo.

32. You say "tuna fish sandwich."

33. You use "Sir" and "Ma'am" if there's a remote possibility that
person you're talking to is least 30 minutes older than you are.



34. You say hose pipe not garden hose



And finally...

35. You are 100% Tennessean if you have ever had
this conversation:

"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr Pepper."




Mike

I'm hoping I get the call to move south...my company is bidding a decent sized job 20 miles north of Atlanta.

Mike,

Funny. Especially the last part. I had a friend growing up who came from Alabama. He'd always ask his mom to get some cokes when she went shopping. She'd come back with all kinds of stuff, but almost never actual Coca-Cola. He'd ask me if I wanted a coke, I'd say yeah and he'd say what kind? Always flipped me out...hadn't thought about this in decades. Thanks for the trip in the way back machine.

Chattanooga has more bikes per capita than any city it's sice in the U.S. It's a great place to live and to ride. I've traveled all over the country - no other place offers as much diversity of scenery. Its beautiful here! Plenty to do here as well. Cost of living is not bad. Mild winters. Market is large enough to offer plenty yet small enough to get across town quickly. Lots of good bars!

Ok, decided. We will be staying in the tundra a bit longer. I can't take the huge cut in pay, no matter how much lower the cost of living is in Chattanooga.
Just gonna suck up some of that hard earned unemployment insurance for a bit and milk it for awhile. At least I now have the days off to go to Georgia and to work on the mysterious carb sets.

THAT's what we want to hear.

We're playing that cost of living/vs/pay thing now too. Kim will take a pay cut if/when we move off the island, so we'll have to see if the cost of living drop makes up for it. There are LOTS of other reasons to move, so it is not the only factor, but it is there...

Yeah Benny, don't stay on LI. It's a miserable place. Move back to New England. And Pat, I'm sorry(and happy)for you(and all us northern types)that you'll be sticking around.
