Your direction maybe. They won't move up here to NY or VT, we have SNOW here.

Yes there is that, but we have heat, ticks, hurricanes, thorns of every description, skeeters from hades, venomous serpents, every varmint imaginable and they STILL come, bringing their essential oils, moonbat ideologies, and the same idiosyncrasies that made them want to leave Ca to begin with, instead of staying there and fixing their own state. Makes no sense to me.
There's a reason every state in the US has their own version of this:

Boy, it's easy to see that no one on BYH will ever move to CA. While I agree that our politics are screwed up I'm afraid that there are too many of "them" since the "us" keep moving to Texas. That being said I love our weather and I'm likely to go anywhere. If I did it would be Southern OR, AZ, or maybe parts of UT or NV but most likely I am here to stay and I just slap my head and look the other way as much as possible. Of course I vote, but doesn't seem to do much good.

@greybeard you bring up a valid point. I have always built a 2x6 PT wood deck on my foundation system for the sheds and the sheds were kits with their own floors, I was just providing a level spot to install them. The chicken coop we put a second row of 2x6's at the places where the walls were anchored and it is light framed building with a metal roof so not a lot of weight. You have to remember that we don't get hurricanes here either.

Well, first steps of the process for my upcoming trip tomorrow have been accomplished. It's definitely not a yugo...

The rental shop had their internet lines cut for the past several days so had no idea what was coming/going or what would be needed. They offered me this or my choice between 2 Chevy 4 door pick ups, all at the agreed upon rate. i sat in this one and it was pretty comfortable so said what the heck... and here we are. So my trip will be done in a radar cop magnet. What have I done to myself? I have no intention of speeding (more than most/anyone else), so should be OK. Have managed to dodge (get it? Dodge? ) the past 2 tickets but have absolutely no desire to press my luck with it going fwd. Maybe I should have held out for a Viper? I have to say though... this little vehicle has some "giddy up and go" when needed.

That's not a Yugo for sure!

@Mike CHS if LS & @CntryBoy777 are late showing up to the get together, you know they're most probably pulled over by a cop (or several cops) for speeding.

Safe travels @Latestarter @CntryBoy777 and @Rammy !

There are a few towns along the way to mind the "p"s and "q"s in, but between the city limit signs +5 above posted is not an issue. In this area it is harvesting time, so there could be equipment headed to and from fields along the way....hopefully, we'll be able to avoid most of it by the time we come thru there.....we should have a Blast and a ton of laughs, great food, and wonderful company....can't wait to get the party Started.....

Sure wouldn't be saving any gas money with the 4 door pickups!

Has to be red doesn't it? Yep cop magnet. Be careful out there LS!

[CntryBoy777]

Yeh.....I told Joe that I'd be watching for him with the shades on....

 

[Rammy]

I kinda dont really believe LS settled on the red car because it felt nice sitting in it. He saw that car and went oh, H### yeah! hahaha.....

 

[Bruce]

Likely! I bet it will be a more comfortable 500 miles each way that a 4 door pickup. And he won't have to take out a second mortgage to pay for fuel.
