Packing up the trailer- Heading back to Tennessee
« on: February 12, 2011, 09:26:32 AM »
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 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.

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.

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!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

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.

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.

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:

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.  :???:
