Noz Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 OLG, when you get settled let us know. Most of us shoot with, Southern Missouri Rangers, Ozark Posse, Bear Creek Volunteers and a bunch more within an easy drive. Welcome and go ahead and keep the fire stirred nicely. We can handle it.

Pat Riot Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Oh No! The only reason I moved here was to finally get to shoot with you and you up and move away?...(not really but it sounds dramatic) Actually, I am bummed, but I am happy for you. Now that you live there you really need to check out Bass Pro in Springfield, even though I am mad at them, it is still quite a place. Great place to buy a coat and gloves. You’ll need them since your blood is probably thinner than wine from living in the desert. You also need to consider taking up bass fishing. Enjoy your new home Lumpy. I am happy for you.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Oh Lumpy! I am so happy for you and Ima. Although we don't see much of each other, I enjoy our conversations and hope they continue. Let me know how you are settling in. Tell Ima hi from me.

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 We left California for Nevada 22 years ago. Wife was sort of OK with it. 6 months later she went back to visit her sisters. And I quote, "I can't believe we lived in that crap and put up with it". Unfortunately with all the immigrants from California, Nevada is now tracking to become eastern California. Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housing prices in Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville and Johnson Lane all reflect this. NV has a Democrat gun-control governor... a real pity.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 House sold the day before it was listed, to a neighbor at our asking price. The house was paid for too. Moved because Ima received a promotion within Sam's Club, and there was an opening here. If you know my wife's family history (last name is Schofield) her family has deep roots here. As soon as we get settled in. We will be checking out the local SASS clubs for sure Thank you all for the welcome to our forever home. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I've often thought of where I'd move if things became too Californicated here in WA. Besides the increasing number of gun laws the sales and property taxes are getting out of sight, and traffic around Seattle is getting nearly as bad as Los Angeles. I thought maybe I'd move back east and sample the air there, and since I've been to Virginia twice and fell in love with the place I thought maybe there. But after last night's disaster it appears that's another state I will have to cross off my list. We conservatives are running out of places to run to, almost like we're fish inside a lake that's drying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Pat Riot's wise counsel about bass fishing is sound! Keep a fine stone in your Tackle Box and keep your hooks absolutely sharp ... you are in for a treat! Delighted at your change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
