Add my family to the list. My wife and I decided to pull the trigger and we bought a house in Lindale, Texas last week. I'm at a point in life where putting the retirement savings to use is around the corner and I'll be a monkey's uncle if I'm going to take a 10% haircut because moving snow and splitting firewood for five months out of the year is so much fun. That's a big negative on all counts! (Truth be told, I don't mind splitting wood all that much. Very therapeutic.)
We've been living in the Northeast for the last 13 years and we're looking forward to the change on many fronts. We'll miss where we live and we'll miss some good friends we've made in the area, but the winters and social/political climates are just oppressive. Just think - I'll be able to buy 20 and 30 round magazines, put functioning mag release buttons on my ARs and put that thumbhole stock back on my 10/22 again! No county-run pistol permitting processes, either. Woo Hoo!
I'll be setting up shop in our new surroundings some time this summer and with new equipment. So, if anybody out there within truck/trailer distance of central NY is looking for some machine tools, I have a couple of lathes, a vertical mill and various other tools I'll be selling. . .
