  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Moving to NC for a new job!

Loved living in NC, but I was in the NW. Had the opportunity to shop that JR once. Wouldn't mind getting out there again. Congratulations and good luck.
Cana, eh? At one time we where looking around Fancy Gap, but ended up buying a place in Beulah, NC, a few miles west of Mt. Airy. I'm renovating the NJ house, getting it ready for market, but once that is done, we'll be practically neighbors.

My mom graduated from Beulah High School. I don't recall if the building is still there. Used to go to Raven's Knob Boy Scout Camp regularly. I work for a company in Winston-Salem. We have a customer in Greensboro about 15 minutes from JR. I keep hoping when the guy who works that area is out, I can steal a call out there at lunch. I lived my first 21 years in Mt. Airy. Was working at the McD on 52 after school when I met a girl with big brown eyes. She lived in Cana. I've been in Cana over twenty-eight years now. Neighbors indeed. We'll have to get together after you get settled.

@ar2381 One of our favorite restaurants is Village Tavern. We love the two in Winston-Salem. There's one in Greensboro at Westridge and Battleground. While I haven't been to the one in Greensboro, having visited two others and worked in there home office, I can't imagine that one would be anything less than great.

Cool beans. Though born and raised in Jersey, I always felt in the minority, like I didn't belong. About 6 years ago, my oldest daughter, her husband and our grand young'ns, moved to Boonville. She needed help renovating the place, so I put my RV in a campground in Boonville. It didn't move for 5 years. My wife and I where down at least once a month, so we got to know the area pretty well. We made a lot of friends. Then it hit me. These folk think like I think. They have the same values I have. Why the h*ll am I living in Jersey? Found a place on a dead end country road, and once I'm out, I have no desire to ever return to the north.

I have a bud in Yadkinville who smokes cigars. Once I get settled, we'll all have to get together.
