My wife and I have made the decision to say the hell with the economy and move back to TN, taking a huge loss on our house. I'm taking her and the Dog down to live in the travel trailer on March 1st. It's not like it's going to be a hardship. It's a 32' with two bumpouts. She's going to start looking for a home in the mountains while she's there. I'll be running a shuttle back and forth with furnishings to put into storage. I bought a dual axle 18' cargo trailer to make the move. I'll make the run once a month.
I'm staying in MI., painting and doing odd stuff getting it ready for the market. When it's ready to sell, she will come back up and we will stay here until it sells. I hope to list it in June and have it sold before the fall.
Packing sucks. 20 years of junk is going to Salvation Army.

I am from Memphis!!! I want to live in the Gatlingburg area. I love love love Cades Cove :hyper:

I wish you both the best of luck, and I hope you find an awesome place to live in TN :)

I shoot a charity match there every year. The 1st year it was for St. Judes. They didn't want our money the 2nd year. They said because the money was raised in a shooting competition and they are anti gun.

Good luck. See you when you get here. :II:

Can't blame you a bit Tucker. I've got an Aunt in Smyrna, she's 85 now, been there since the '50s. I spent a summer in Tennessee at Millington by Memphis after boot camp. Beautiful state with nice folks, if I was from there I would never leave.
Upstate New York is beautiful too but my wife & I are tired of the winters, "snows assh*le deep to a nine foot indian", it gets old. The outrageous taxes are pushing us right out of here. Half the population is career welfare and the other half is "me first" yuppie libtard scum, an intellectual wasteland dawn of the dead zone. Seven more years and our youngest is off to college then we're outta here! The mountains of eastern Tennessee are definitely in the running along with North Carolina and West Virgina. I can totally see where you're coming from Tucker, Michigan being just as bad as New York.

When I grow up, I want to move to Buck Snort, Tennessee. I just like the name.

You would NOT want to live in Memphrica or Millington now. Trust me.

Smyrna is still nice. Traffic's a bitch, though. :pokingpoop:
If I HAD to live near Memphis, I would be looking at Olive Branch, MS or Cordova instead.

Were you an Aviation Marine or was that after the aviation schools left Millington and it became the personnel center??

HA! I am in Olive Branch. It's being overrun if you get my drift. :naughty: Cordova has been overrun big time. I am thinking of finding about 20 acres on a gravel road in marshall county and building a compound

I only spent two days in OB and I liked it... I was in Corvoda long enough to buy a motorcycle. I didn't spend a whole lot of time there, but my impression was that it was nice.

Yeah it is. Too damn close to the state line! I grew up in DeSoto County and East Memphis (back in the early 80's - Parkway Village before it got bad). My mom lives in DeSoto County and my dad still lives in Whitehaven (believe it or not).
My brother is down in Marshall County on several acres and loves it.
Good luck Tucker!

Yup, I was in the air wing. 6114 Huey mechanic. I got to Millington in May '86 and left for Camp Pendleton in November. Went down to Beale St one night and I remember they put up barricades at sundown so Beale St is just foot traffic at night. Me and some other guys went into a bar at the end of the street by the last barricade and I remember watching a guy park a brand new '86 Iroc Z Camero across the intersection further up Beale and he came across into the same bar we were entering. We were in there for one beer, maybe 15 minutes. I talked to him about Cameros because I had a '79 in high school. He stayed in the bar and we left. As soon as we got outside I noticed his Iroc was nothing more than a shell laying on its belly where he had just parked it. Completely stripped like a NASCAR pit crew had rolled up on it and went over it like cartoon termites. There were crowds of people but they were just going about their business like nothing had happened and nobody was paying any attention to the car.

You probably don't want to know that I can see the mountains - if the air is clear enough - from my home office window.... :whistling:

It's not Whitehaven anymore :fuelfire:
-
LOLZ! Yeah...

I was stationed at FT Campbell KY and for the most part the area around Clarksville/Nashville is nice. I wouldn't mind living there if I had reason enough to move there.
-
Good luck with your move, Tucker. Tennessee, oh heck, that entire region, is green and gorgeous.

Yes....and we're having temps in the upper 50's today, going to the 60's through next weekend....supposed to be 68-70 on Thursday and Friday!!! I'm so excited that there are no cloudy days, no gray days, and no snow forecasted!
I figure this week, if the weather does what it's supposed to, the flowers (daffodils, tulips, etc) will start edging up out of the dirt, and the trees will start to bud out. Grass will green up. All my pansies are getting new blossoms on them already.
It will probably snow in about 10 days or so..... :thatsright:

:hammer: I have 2' of snow on the ground now. I gotta dig the trailer out.

It was 30 when we came out of Mass this morning at 8:30, but supposed to warm up to 59. The sky was so clear this morning, as the sun was coming up over the mountains, we could see the snow on them.
Going to go for a walk over along Melton Hill or go up by the dam on Norris, this afternoon. :tongue:
It is pretty windy though, there are fire warnings out for the mountains. Surprisingly, even with all the snow this winter, according to the weather people, it's pretty dry, particularly up in the mountains. I don't know why, unless all the wind we've had the last month, is drying things out. Don't know how it can, since there's an unusual amoung of snow up there. :???:

One of my sisters lives in Mars Hill, NC, fairly close to Asheville. I truly envy her the mountains, the greenery and the beautiful flowers everywhere. I have mountains, and during the summer monsoon season we have greenery, but I would love to have a grass lawn instead of grey gravel.
I do miss four seasons. Oh well, here is where hubby's career has landed us and we wouldn't do as well elsewhere except DC, and that is a prospect much less pleasing than AZ.

Hey! I went for a walk this morning. I took the Dog. The casual observer couldn't tell what sex I was. My eyes were visible.
-
Best of luck on your move, Tuck! (Yeah, packing, sorting, moving, deciding, it all sucks. I've moved so many times I haven't had time to save much, but it still sucks dog balls.)
We are headed for mostly-west-Tennessee-without-going-to-Memphis-or-Millington.
Jackson, in Madison County. It's the best-kept secret in TN. (But I have to finish out my prison sentence first, i.e., my second career, before final retirement in maybe 8 years or less.)

Only until I talk you into moving to East TN.....the pretty side of the state. :-)

Don't talk to those flatlanders. That ain't right in the head.

It's a wide state, Tuck. Lotsa life on the other end of the state, complete with tornadoes vice nuke-cue-lar meltdowns. :-)

We went walking yesterday afternoon over in Oak Ridge along Melton Hill Lake. Not on the "glow" side, but up above, just where we could inhale the air from the Bull Run steam plant. :lmao:
Can someone explain to me, why a humongous steam plant, that provides electricity to thousands of households and business, would be open to public access...with no guards?!?!?! :o
The access road to the water for fishing, is not 10 feet from the wire fence (which is probably 15' high) with the big electric outdoor wire frame thingies, not 10 feet on the other side of the fence. Some freak could do a hell of a lot of damage, and be miles away in less than 5 minutes. :censored:

Jackson is full of liberals. :tongue:

Re: Jackson, I think not, my dear. Jackson has its share, no doubt, but the climate - especially up in 3-Way (no jokes, please - this is a legitimate "suburb" of Jackson) and Humboldt is most definitely conservative. Besides, there's a big honkin' ammo plant in Humboldt. :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
After having lived in an area in which I can do what I want to my property, why screw it all up and move back to the city where I can't even scratch my balls without offending somebody? O-)

Columbia is nice, but there are too many Democrats. :whistling:

eh, I am going to my dad's land in Grenada Mississippi

Ok...Jackson isn't liberal. :whatever:
Since I live with 2 men who seem to have a fascination with scratching their parts ( :???: :thatsright: :whatever: ), I don't see why you think that would be an issue over here.
Unlike some others, at least they don't do it in public....or if they do, I'm not around to see it. :whistling:
-

I believe I said that Jackson "has its share" of libs - but the flavor of the town isn't nearly as lib as I've seen in Columbia, MO. Hell, I've lived in West Berlin, Germany, and that freakin' place was crawling with libs everywhere I went. I'll bet there are even some libs in Knoxville! Gasp! The horror! :overreaction:

Well, if I were to live in town with the associated small yards, scratching my balls out in the back might be seen as offensive by a lib or two - which is why I'd not have a problem with living up in Humboldt where the air is clearer (must be all that cordite in the air!) :-)
Now that I think about it, saying I'll live in "Jackson, TN" isn't quite accurate. I'd live in the greater Jackson community, but not necessarily in town. Sorry for any confusion.

If they're like most men, scratching one's balls simply has to be done when the urge strikes - either that, or you've got those guys terrorized! :rotf:

Yep....there are libs here too. It's a University town.
Jackson's only about 5 hours away. Y'all can come over here to visit when you have an urge to see "pretty" scenery. :tongue:
Me? Terrorize? :shucks:
My son calls me "Turbo" or "Short Stack", and tells me I'm vertically challenged. Terrorize him? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
