While still not thrilled about it, the wife is rolls her eyes less-often at the prospect of moving to the Phoenix area. From this
 to this  . She's a very frugal person, so I always play the lower income tax/sales tax/property tax/housing cost angle.  Anyway, I'll be flying down late on August 1st, visiting the home builder in Chandler the morning of the 2nd to check out the model I'm interested in, then I'm free until the afternoon of the 3rd when I fly back! So I'd love to meet up with you guys, go shooting, grab some dinner or whatever! |

Dude, you are not going to regret moving to a state as free as this.
I'll wave at you from the Mexican border. |

It sounds like an excuse to shoot, eat and drink beer. You will find that an excuse is all we need.

It'll take six months to get the house built, but I'm sure I can tell the wife that I need to fly down that weekend to visit the homebuilder, fill out paperwork or something.

Welcome to AZ. I made the same move 5 years ago and don't regret it one bit. Well, maybe a smidge when I can't find good Thai food and it hits 115 degrees outside. But then, I jump in the pool and look at all the toys I can have here I can't have there and it's a no brainer. Oh, here are some of the toys YOU can buy when you move here.      BTW, there is a whole life of hassle dealing with the builders here now. If you get stuck let me know. I might not be able to offer advice but then again, I might have been through the same thing and found a solution. I bought 5 years ago and wish I'd done a few things different in my house. Whatever you do, do not believe any completion dates they give you. |

Great move on your part.
My wife is from San Diego and she loves medium town living, in Casa Grande. We are in Casa Grande, on IH 10 50 minutes from downtown Phoenix, 35 from state60 and IH10. IH8 and IH10 intersect at Casa Grande. You will get safer less stressful living here and you will save around 20 to 30 grand on your home. 2500 sq. ft. for under 200,000.00 Good schools IM me if you want more info on stores schools and life close to the big city but where you can escape from the masses. I am not a salesman on trying to sale you something. OH and a GREAt Range within 10 minutes from anywhere in town. Also a great airport if you are a pilot. |

Are you kidding? I'd be doing the same stuff myself if I had the hardware. If you want to take a look at the models I was looking at, here's some pics, plus some from the fighter aircraft museum. It'll be way down near the corner of Gilbert and Hunt in Chandler (Engle Homes, Sun River). www.petenelson.com/Photos/Vacations/Phoenix,%20August%202003/ |

... Dang it DVDTracker, those pictures make me really homesick. I looked at those models myself earlier this year. I work right around the corner from that fighter museum and when I'm home I like to visit the "shop" too. I sure wished I was there to join yous guys. Are you moving to AZ?

I'm surprised after reading this thread so many of you are in my neighborhood. My 11yo son and I often stop by the Sidelines Grill when we are out riding our mountain bikes. I like their Fat Tire on draft. Other places I like in the area are Abuellos, BJ's Brewery and I second the motion on NYPD Pizza. Good stuff!

Checking with the sister-in-law to see if they'll watch out dog that weekend. If they can, we'll be there... with check in hand to buy! The wife actually expressed interest in a larger 5br/3ba two-story model they offer.
 If it works out, we'll fly in that Friday night and head out Sunday. |

Ther has been a slight change of plans and now the whole A Team will get there on Thursday night! Edward,JLA,GoatBoy and myself have set aside friday morning and afternoon for visiting CavArms,AZEXArms and meeting all of you that can make it. I would think that TREETOP (if he is not too exausted when he comes back)or someone else should do the on site coordinating for everyone. As a suggestion,we could meet in the parking lot of CavArms at a specified time and take it from there. |
