Well the move is done. We are now in the frozen north.

We still have a BUNCH of unpacking to do but it is getting done soon enough.

Minneapolis is nice.. but I fear that my southern blood will freeze come January. We will see laugh

HAHAHAHA Welcome to the Midwest, at least up North you have seasons, granted it's mostly winter and fall. Chicago has seasons, if you want to call them that, that are really screwed up, with shifts of 40-50 degrees in a day during autumn and spring. I sooo want to move where it's warmer or has less of a temperature swing, my sinuses can't handle it much more! Sorry I digress... Welcome to the Midwest!! laugh

Ever driven on ice? I mean lake ice? Oh yes, you will. Picture the silly, air snorkled, white rig from down south parked on two feet of ice. You'll be sipping Schnapps or Walkers Winter Brew while staring at a hole in that ice.
Good times, good times.
You haven't lived until you hear the rolling crack of thunder under your feet and actually witnessed the ice split before you. Ahhh, life in Minnesota.

Well welcome to the Midwest. I know where you are coming from. I moved out here from Southern Cal. about 8 years ago and still hate the cold. The good part is when the snow falls you don't have to go very far to wheel, just step outside your front door.

BTW, on a side note, Hows that halfshaft holding up from GOX? Remember me?... [Wave]

Wow, I haven't read the board for a while since I picked up a new Toy last month ( toy1 , toy2 )

So how did you end up here Carlton? That's one hell of a move. I don't know whatever happened to all us MN guys getting together ( thread ) but we should work on doing that soon.

You won't run into accents like in those movies until you go north of St. Cloud.

Hell yeah! I have been spreading the word about Leinies in San Diego and in VA. My parents always bring some down when they come and visit me. I finally started getting the club newspaper.

One of the local bars I work at in Northern IL is an official Leinies Lodge! WOO HOO FOR LEINIES!!! We have 8 beers on tap(I know its not alot, but it works), and 4 of them are Leinenkugels varieties - Original, Honey Weiss, Red, and Creamy Dark. Lately, the Creamy Dark seems to be the Leinies of choice, but I think we still sell more Sam Adams Winter Lager and Budweiser than Leinies flavors....
