  Where did you escape from? We are really looking forward to our next house hunting trip. Our friends are starting to believe we are serious. Figure just the taxes I will be saving will pay more than 6 months of mortgage payments, another month or so in saved heating bills. 

Hoping to move to the Tri City area this year.

Been an occasional visitor to the site for over a year, but it is looking more promising that we will actually move.  We spent a week or so in TN in the Spring of last year just looking around.  After lots of research TN is now at the top of our short list of where we would like to move.  We spent another week in the Tri City area in February, the week before you guys got hit with all the snow. Had a realtor  this time who drove us all over looking at houses for 4 days and we did some additional looking on our own a couple of more days.  Even checked out a gun store we were driving by.  Was interesting when I told the fellow behind the counter I was checking out gun shops if we relocated.  He asked where I lived and I told him NY and he said "Welcome to America".   Anyway I think we are sold on Eastern TN now we just have to find the right house. The realtor adjust his search criteria a little when I told him a big plus would be room for a small range. We are planning another trip down in April/May.   Hopefully you will welcome (or at least tolerate) a conservative that wants out of the Socialist Republic of NY. We hope to be moved before another Winter comes.  I know you have had a rough Winter but it would be a welcome change compared to Winter 2 miles South of Lake Ontario.   Jim...

I bought the .22 version back in early December.  Been reading about it since it came out and finally got to hold one when I was visiting my son in MD, even a great price but they couldn't sell it to me being from NY. Stopped in a week or so later at my local shop and they had one for more money.  Told them the price I found in MD and he came within $10 of that price and I took it home.  Weather has been to bad to shoot it much but I really like it so far.   If your wondering what a New Yorker is doing on your site, I'm check out where to move to if we don't get the current NYS government out of office in November. TN is on my short list, plan to spend some time there in the Spring to see what we think.
