Default Maiden voyage on Georgia roads

Made it to Georgia 4 weeks ago and still only a third of the way through getting the the stuff done so that it will be our house.

I decided to take the day off and put the ole girl on GA highways for the first time. Did about a 120 miles of beautiful country side. There is a car show in Evans Saturday I will try to make but back to work for now.

Damn Yankee in GA

Unbelievable ! Unloaded 2 big Uhaul trucks and a 12 ft trailer in it. Doing any work in it my clothes are soaked...... I mean you could wring them out. I may have traded stupid winter for stupid summer.

Thanks, we got 14 acres with the place and have found one horse so far. He is a big boy for me and we are still looking for one for the wife. Should help keep the grass down

Where did you find the horse? In the trees? Do you really think there is one out there for the wife also? Most people take them when they move.....
