Default 2 More Weeks

Hi MCF!
Well, I got 2 more week before the Big Move! I've got the Strut, Rear Pads and Rotors for My Minion. Just waiting for the snow to melt a little before I go out and put the Tool to her for the last time here in NJ.
Boom Hylda is going into the Trans shop Tomorrow for the Valve Body, then she goes for an oil Change and Plugs. Check her fluids and the Both get 2 New Tires. Then it's Off to Wa.
I'm going to miss the guys a My Trusted Pep Boys. They have been very good to me over the years!
I'm actually starting to look Forward to the trip and the move. My Vibes have been getting better with each passing day. I've been able to sleep much more than an hour and a half lately, which is very good and I feel much better during the day.
For right now, it's time to go empty the hallway Closet. Al my Star Trek and Star Wars Toys, and my Chest Sets, Need to be secured and the junk from in there needs to get Tossed.
Y'all have a Good Sunday!

Hi Mike! Thanks for the well wishes!
It's not Heaven, but it is a Haven! I know you understand. It's why you choose to be a Beach Boom! Lol
The City can be nice, But I grew up in NY. Although I still believe it is the Capital of Earth, and the Greatest City in the World, I'm done with the Hustle and Bustle.
I'm ready to work all day and Lay Back at night and not have to stay at home to do it. I need the Peace to enhance my Calm.
I know you, Space and your Beach Buddies understand that feeling!

Yes `J.C.,
I understand your reason to escape the hustle & bustle
of a large city & to find a place that is more @ peace.



The Beach Bums were raised & taught with love & to be @ peace in their life.
Our major creed is to never purposely hurt with our words
or acts, but to use all our resources to defend ourselves
and those that are being hurt by others.






I believe that everything in life is temporary. So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won't last forever.
And if things are going BAD (?), don't worry .
It can't last 4-ever either.
One must `be the driver of their life & keep driving until
they find the place they want to `be in life.
`amen

Hi George, we are Driving both cars! We are actually leaving from BRICK NJ. Going down there to be with my kids and Grand Kids. We are leaving on the 23rd. Taking Route 70 out to 295, and across the Walt Whitman, to 95S then I376 out to Cleaveland. Then it I90 west for the rest of the trip. Figure it's gonna take us 4.5 days to drive out to Wa.
The stuff we are keeping is going in a PAD. All the Trunk rental places wanted too much for a one way trip. Flying, getting our furniture and cars transported, would have come out to about $11 or $12k. Doing it this way is only costing us about $4200. This way we can have some good $$$$ when we get there. We will still have to look for jobs once we are there.
