1240680 2011-10-29 13:23:00 Have you told The Cat yet? :stare:

The cat walks around, spying the packed boxes and it just KNOWS sumpthin' is gonna happen . Not knowing right now is a bonus for us, as the cat cannot plan any counteractions to our pending move .

Looking for a dart gun at the mo .


Happy Moving Joe, :)

TY Beets, this is gonna be my swan song I feel - no more moves after this .


All the best as well . I had touch of Montana once, when I brought a license plate of e-bay UK, then flicked it off on Trademe NZ for about 4x the price . Certainly more colorful (or colourful in NZ) plates then here in NZ, and seems to be a range of graphics than our dull NZ plates . Why various plates per state when issued? 3328

Quite a few states offer 'vanity plates' for those who can afford them, and some have alternating patterns that they randomly pass out to the next person . I don't know about Montana yet, but California I think has about a dozen plus the ones you can get with your initials or a cryptic message in Boolean or Sanscrit if the official Priscilla Goodbody censors don't catch it .

Arizona has some righteously nice plates too .


Damn . Around here Joe, Montana is a vineyard . I though we were gonna get a flood of discount wine when I say the title of this thread .

Hope to see you're settled and posting again soon .

You wanted discount wine? I lived in and all around The Temecula Wine Country for years here and nobody even mentioned that they wanted wine!

Anyway - about the internet - I know nothing yet about it's availability there, although every store and fast food place has it for free to the customers, so I imagine it exists .

I'm only gonna be about four miles SSE of town, so maybe they have sufficient CAT5e to reach me .

I'll get it all sorted out ASAP whence I get there . Youse guys in Upsidedown Land will be amongst the first to know when I do get it up-n-running .


That is a seriously long drive - it may pay to take your letterbox with you .
Well, all this moving may mean we miss your action reports on the current forest fire situation in season . Will you be threatening the trout up there?
Good luck with the shift, don't be like all those shiftless people . ;)

Yeah --- 1200 miles and a wife who hates to drive distances .

We'll be in constant CB car-to-car communication, as cell phones have great honking blank areas through the places we're gonna travel to get there . There can be 100 mile or more of ZERO cell phone activity .

The SoCal fires will have to do all by themselves without me now .

Did you mention trout? There are quite a few varieties of trout, salmon and Dollys too up there, although I've yet to see a Dolly Varden .


I have been to Cutbank, Whitefish and Shelby in Microsoft Tran Simulator and Great Falls airport in Microsofts Flight Simulator X in Montana .
:)

Hmmmm . I always though Great Falls was in Wisconsin or Idaho . But I might be wrong there . 'Frostbite Falls' (Glacier Falls) is a name I associate with somewhere else (Minnesota I think) and now that I Googled Great Falls, (AHAAA!) I DO indeed see that it is in Montana . News to me . Thanks for that .

But the summers have 17.5 hours of daylight and fishing time is sunrise to sunset for indigenous trout - so there's that too to consider.

The Northern Light are viewable in the winter and I'll be living inside a house that has a wood fireplace for it's main heat. If I want cold I can always go outside - right?

Careful driving is my middle name. Besides I'll be tow barring my Amigo behind me and California has a 55 MPH speed limit on vehicles towing. Once I get out of Lotus Land then the speed limits become realistic again.

Wife in Chevrolet Astro Van ----- with clothes and microwave and some dry goods . The rest of the food is either being given away or eaten for the next two and a half weeks .

Me driving my Chevy K5 Blazer and towing my Isuzu Amigo, both loaded pretty well with other stuff . .

I've gotta get all my guitars, amplifiers, tool boxes just 'in case' - in the K5 --- and following also in the Isuzu .

Also in the Astro plus the dog 'Brandi' and our 600dB screaming wildcat: 'Slash' .
