Rich, if you're just looking for a change of scenery, carpenters are in demand here. high pay with pension and insurance. and you'd have a riding buddy in the area

Thanks, Dave. I really appreciate your thoughts. But St Louis is basically in my back yard. Wouldn't be any different than where I am now. Thinking more along the lines of farther south, to increase riding time. And I've always thought the east was interesting, give me a chance to stop by Ian's for a bit and give him a hard time. But really, just thinking about wandering around, state to state, for a while. I never thought I'd say this before, but there isn't much here to interest me. Family that's left isn't close anymore. Got a terrible itch to just plain see some more of the world and different people, even if I just start in the U.S. Won't be able to do anything till spring, though. Gives me plenty of time to think about it. Also, my middle boy said he's live here in the house I built for me and Kathy so I'd have a place to come back to if I want to.
