Glad to hear you found new work, but sad to hear you're relocating.
I have no real advice to offer, except good luck! |

Dale it's been a slice. I wish you nothing but the best. I envy you in a way. You are able to move to another place, which may in all likelyhood be better than here. The wife and I have talked about moving and getting away from the crazies in this state, but I think in the end we are both to nervous about leaving the place we have called home for all our lives. Neither of us like change all that much, so relocating and essentially starting over would be very difficult for us.
God speed my friend, and may the road rise to meet your feet and all your days be sunny and warm. BTW Tell your wife that her and I will have our one last evening together before she goes.

My parents live in north central FL and I think I can safely say you'll enjoy the lack of a state income tax. I'm not sure exactly where in NE FL you plan to be in, but Jacksonville is a beautiful city/area. Enjoy the sunshine and lack of snow 6 mos out of the year.

Don't know what I'd prefer.... 6 months of cold & snow in the winter, or 6 months of heat & humidity in the summer. I guess I'd take the cold winter vs hot/humid summer, but YMMV. 
Good luck on your relocation. At least you're going to a state with pretty good gun laws. My sister moved to Naples FL about 10 years ago... she loves it down there. Remember, you don't have to live in WI to participate in the WI HTF... you're "grandfathered in".

Really being that I embrace change, it's been too long since I threw our lives into utter chaos.
I thought it would be tough getting the wife on board with the move but she is excited. I am looking at the Atlantic coast from Jacksonville down possibly as far as Palm Coast or even Daytona if the right place comes along. Luckily there are a bunch of good guys in the Florida HTF so hopefully I can find a place to shoot and some guys to shoot with. |

We would go down to visit and he would take us shooting @ a range in the Ocala national forest near Juniper Springs. Thats a cool place. Well Dale good luck and I'll be looking for your post in the EE for your snow blower and shovels for sale....... |

Find the nearest Packers bar, have a JaegerBomb and remember us in January when we're freezing our cans off. |

 Dale, this sucks. Just when I get to know someone who I can count on to always give me a straight answer in our industry, and a damn fine guy too, you leave. Damn.  On a bright side, you lucky bastard! You did it didn't you? You got the end-all, be-all, job of a lifetime?! Good for you buddy!! I am VERY happy for you!  Lets talk this week sometime and catch up on the new job!! |

Lets talk this week sometime and catch up on the new job!! I'm getting out of the sales arena. I will leave that for someone who is more hungry for sales than I am. I am taking the position of Field Service Manager for the Southeast Region. I will only have 7 states to cover instead of 13 states and 3 provinces and I won't have to lose sleep worrying where the sales are going to come from. |

My advice...Don't leave the house betwen July and August.
It's fucking miserably hot. I'd much rather freeze my ass off half the year and have a nice summer than sweat all but 3 months out of the year. lol, I do envy you though, I love Florida and vacation there every year with family in the Orlando area. |

hey enjoy the snowless winters, good luck to you!

Your wife will like both. If you are going to move that far, I am not sure I would want to go to all that trouble to live inside Jacksonville. Or at the very minimum, as I like to say, live outside the bypass. If you need to fly to work it is an easy drive in to the airport. Good luck! |

I would even consider living as far down the coast as Daytona-ish. |

If you live in Waycross, I can make a few calls for you. Don't use my name in Bainbridge. |

With the shuttle project closed down there should be some really sweet deals on real estate just to the south of Daytona.

Quoted: With the shuttle project closed down there should be some really sweet deals on real estate just to the south of Daytona. This is true but I was down there in December (Cocoa Beach area) and noticed it was..."off". In speaking with people, that was the result of the end of the shuttle program and everything related. Lots of impact on the area and though there may be deals, I doubt it will recover (other than packed hotels on the weekend with beach goers). On the plus side, the Knight's Armament compound looked to be busy. |
