Thank you both!

I'm looking forward to it so much. May have trouble sleeping tonight, but need to sleep. Tomorrow is a long day!

update:


We're in St. George, Utah at a hotel. 1/3 of way to our new home in Wyoming. yay!
Was a hellishly hot drive, 11 hours, in a big truck. We're very tired. And very happy!

So glad to hear you made it out of there without running into riots or being captured as fleeing tax slaves... :) Just think how sound you'll sleep once you make it home to Wyoming. :)

Congratulations!!!

Yes, we are Daddy! We're in Wyoming, and I'm so happy.

Gotta run, I have cats to wash.

Congratulations! I'm glad you got out ahead of the riots after all. :)  And yes, Rich, I still get chills up and down my spine thinking of my escape from Calif... and my new life here. What a blessing.

Washing cats? Why would they need to be washed? No wonder they hate you!  :P >:D Let them wash themselves! Poor kitties. :)

Hi, Debra Jean,
Washing the cats is really easy!
Hold them by the handle provide by the Almighty ...
lift the lid, flush, dunk once or twice .....
let go and they will air dry at high speed!

If they are really dirty, just drop-in, close the lid and the super-agitation cycle begins immediately.
A note of warning, however ..... exercise extreme caution when opening the lid .... the angle of trajectory will be a complete unknown.

Hey Michael and Debra:
You didn't visit us on the way (near Salt Lake City, Utah)...
you passed right within 20 miles of us.
boo hoo.

I used to love California. Then my grown son and daughter moved to Utah. Also I promised to join the FSNH folks but went up there and didn't like the cold/humidity (cold/dry is better, imo).
and then came Boston and fsw and I'm only one state away. It seems the socialist/fascists all love sunny warm climates and go there and change the places to tyrannical: but friends in Monana say some ex Californians are trying to do it to Montana too. Sigh always opposing forces, never easy.
Anyway congratulations on your move, tell us about Casper when you are there for a while.

Michael & Debra Jean,
If you come through here, give a call and you'll get an armed, motorcycle escort - or maybe lunch!

Be safe, glad you made it.

A small update. Just spoke to them and they are about 50 miles outside of Rawlins. ETA around 3pm.

Why worry about sheep ? I thought you guys had more wolves and coyotes than you knew what to do with ?
Your predator problem solves the sheep problem. They eat the sheep, and stay out of your garbage for a few
days. problem solved. ;)  Now if only you guys had something big enough to take out a buffalo cow hybrid, I
hate those things, the noises they make are worse than city noises.  :P

On the cat washing problem, I always had good luck with a shallow stock tank, say about 2 feet deep. Drop em
in and they get moist enough in the half second before they can bounce out. After that they take care of the
rest, and usually leave you alone for an hour or two.  >:D

Michael and Debra Jean wanted me to let everyone know that they made it safely yesterday afternoon.  They won't have Internet access for a couple days, but they're incredibly happy to be here.  As an aside, one of their new neighbors was the first to bring up the .45 caliber burglar repellent, on a positive.
