The Florida Man Thread, Caveman Style!

[misterarman]

Well folks, the sale was a great success, we sold 6 tables of stuff that had been taking up a 24x30' (1/2 of my 30x48' shop) space for many years.
Next weekend I'm gonna have a "Man's Shop Moving sale!!! I'll be going through the back 1/2 of the shop sorting automotive, woodworking and basic shop stuff.

You all are invited to attend.

Congratulations, Jim!
Happy for you and sad to see you leaving all at the same time.

Same brother. I'm ecstatic for this move but I really didn't think it was going to be this tough, mentally and physically. No lies, I'm gonna miss living here.
But rest assured we will be visiting a few times every year.

Congratulations. Wishing you continued success with your culling process.

[Caveman Jim]

No chit…

 

[ARFrog]

Make sure you dig the proper kind in the proper place…

 

[Caveman Jim]

Gotcha. Number 2 it is.

Well boys and girls it's crunch time at the caveman cave, a 53 foot semi will show up on the ninth or 10th of July to pack our worldly belongings.
They will actually load my rental truck that I will tow the wife's car with. Bonus!!!

You serve as an inspiration to many of us, that share the dream of GTHOOWA. I will try to drag Susie to Lewiston, ID this week to see if it might be possible to convince her to make the move. We don't know anyone there, but it is within 2.5 hours drive of our present location where our 3 boys reside. Maybe the proximity of the Clearwater and Snake rivers can help persuade her.

My missus actually stated the other day that after her father passes, she's done with this state. There's hope!

 

[Caveman Jim]

Five years ago that was my initial intentions in that same area but then I realized that it would not fit my purpose, I'd still be in the cold climate.

Good luck with your trip brother.

Well boys and girls, our worldly possessions are on there way, eventually to Florida.
We solemnly approached the end of our driveway, I took a pic of the loaded UHaul in the foreground (yes I black and white) of our home for 30+ years and was sad that we wouldn't get a chance today to say goodbye to our granddaughters due to their parents being late for the occasion and we needed to get a shower and a good nights sleep at the local motel for our departure in the morning. As we sadly pulled out onto the road to Elma, they passed by us frantically waving for us to return.
We stayed for 2 more hours, hugs, kisses, tears and a promise to them that we would return to take them fishing next summer or even a surprise Christmas visit from Caveman Santa.

 

[misterarman]

Dang, Jim. It's real. sad face
What town are you moving to?
Im sure you have said but I hope you remember better than I can.

 

[ARFrog]

Best wishes on the next chapter of your life...

 

[Caveman Jim]

It's named after my favorite uncle, Vernon.
Yep sad but looking forward to our geriatric life in a warmer climate.

Travel safe, lots of crazies on the road!

Florida is richer for having you…
