Reasons for moving:

1. My daughter and her husband moved our grandkids to Tennessee 3 years ago and we see them so little. We see them at least 6 times a year for a week or so but that is not enough.
2. I have shoveled SNOW for about 60 years and I am sick of bitter cold and snow. Love MI in the Summer and hate it in the WINTER..
3. The politicians have Bankrupted this state and no light at the end of the tunnel.

As for what I do -- What ever I want, my wife and I are retired and loving it. Spent Jan - the latter part of March Snowbirding in FL. Getting a new Super Duty because this seems as tho it will be a regular thing.

Ohhhh now I am drooolllling lol
I love riding on the back of those things

We been talking about moving out of the State too but as you we cant get even close to what we are asking. We dont have a Mansion but we have Houses all around us not selling.... who in their right Mind would want to move up here anymore? No Jobs here.
My kid even had to go on the Road to get a good Job.

OMG Pat you are old ! hahahah .... and 2 little ones???? Man I feel sorry for you. Just wait till they are Teenagers.!

I will be 40 this July and my Baby will be 15 in June ..... that means I have PLENTY of Time to keep up with Grandbabys and other things lol

I'm going to stay in Michigan I'm pretty sure. I have an offer in Florida, where I could make a bunch of money, but I freakin hate Florida. Nice place to visit and all.

But at the end of the day, I love this state, the changing seasons, etc. Snow can suck, and it can be fun too. Who doesn't like a white Christmas?

So as far as I know I'm going to stick around. And at least Genital Grandmole is no longer in the Governors office. Now if we could get the jack wagon out of the white house, we might have some hope.

This is the back of my Bronco:


The bottom sticker says"Dont Blame Me I Didn't Re-Elect The Canadian Socialist Liberal Governor!"

I know we will miss Michigan ( only a little ), and as for a white Xmas I'll throw instant potatos in the air Xmas morning and then go get a sun tan for the holidays!

We had it with this State, the cost is to high, taxs are killing us and now the good ol'e new Gov Snyder wants to tax my little *****on checks and take away my food stamps! How da hell will I eat steak every nite wit no food stamps? lol (oh sorry I forgot my teeth fell out) hehehe!

I say head fur da Hills and hide B4 the crazyies come fur yer goods! Long live the Fatman in da Mountain.
