Yep, he was as giddy as a school girl when he left here. I think he's worried the miss's will get jealous of his new love ;D. Glad she's working out for ya.

Well sounds like your having an adventure. There used to be some decent motels in TIFTON if your heading that way. But it sounds like you got rid of the troublesome part already.

if you only knew last night I stayed in Lexington KY I had gotten the only parking space I could get out of in the morning so I call domino's for a sandwich and bread sticks when the guy showed up he pull the sandwich out of the insulated bag by the wrong end sandwich lands on floor had to wait 45 min for him to bring a new one then that one was brunt on the edges now the real fun starts geting it ready for boating season

well I am home every thing should be great right nope my wife and i run a Minn storage planed on putting the v in a 10 by 30 unit and working on it there for the winter dam things to wide won't fit through the door and since we need all of the extra lot space to push snow (anther good reason to go back to FL)I got to pay to have it stored somewhere else

Hopefully you can maybe barter with another storage yard nearby. A little you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours kind of deal ;).
