    Re: Idaho bound!!!

    Gonna be different.  Different climate, different culture, different mindset...just plain different.  I still recall what we went through in 1980 when we moved from L.A. to Montrose, waaaaaaay different but you couldn't drag us back with big truck and a log chain.

    I sincerely hope you find a better life and love it. I started out ('til age six) about 140 miles north and a bit east of TW...little town of Mackay.   Ruined me for life, never got the "small town" out of my system.
    I'm very happy for you, enjoy!

    Re: Idaho bound!!!

    Well it is official. The house closed today! Now for the moving part..... The wife and I have been packing it seems like forever and still have a bit more. The plan is to move the bulk of the house this week then return to Yuma and get the old house finished up to put it on the market. And move the  mustang planning on trailing it. I have someone who is interested in the convertible, hopefully it will be sold. One less thing to move.

    I worked a couple of summers around the Twin Falls area with fond memories. Sometimes I miss the life of a DoodleBugger. Look it up.

    I went to Nuclear school in Idaho Falls. Build my V8 Pinto there. Believe it or not used the rebuild motor out of my 65 fastback and put a junk yard motor in the fastback.

    My dad was born in Arco ID, and they lived in Twin Falls for a while. My great grandfather was a blacksmith there 100 years ago. Have many relatives buried in Twin Falls and up north in Coeur d'Alene.  Happy trails.

    Hope you love it up there, Alan.  I spent my first six years in Mackay, about 50 miles north of Arco where my dad grew up.  My grand mom lived in Arco 'til she passed at 104.  Arco is the first town in the world to be powered by nuclear energy...says so right on the city hall.
    Maybe we should have a bash up there.

    Bash hosts must have attended three of the last five bashes.  See you next year so you can get started!
