Our move east starting to get really real

[FreeBird236]

Thanks for the adventure, and hopefully it really will be spring in a week or two.

1) buy Honda snowblower.

Buy 2 32" track drive Hondas.

 

[napanutt]

1st thing tomorrow morning: go get your new license plates so nobody needs to know you are from Kommiefornia

Trust me. Top of the list.

 

[SixD9R]

If you shovel that driveway just once, your back with thank you after the next storm for buying a snow blower.

I'm sure Honda makes some decent equipment. Another top choice and what I use in here Pa is Ariens. https://www.ariens.com/en-us/power-equipment/snow-products

 

[napanutt]

That was easy.
Walked into the town offices and pickup New Hampshire plates.

Nice!!!!! Move from Comifornia to “Live Free Or Die”. When you do you have to start paying the exit tax to CA?

 

[DaveC]

What is all that white shit on the ground?

I always loved those plates. I had one for the longest time. Got it from a friend. Somehow it grew legs and walked away...

Just curious. Are you going to stomp on your CA retirement Checks for working at Cal Trans for all those years when they come in every month.

Nope. He will be laughing all the way to the bank. He earned that shit.

Fuck no!

 

[Shlbyntro]

Fuck no!

correct answer is yes, right after you cash them !

 

[napanutt]

What a day. Got our Upack pods yesterday (Friday). With help from Anthony, Nicole, and her parents Lisa and Bill we emptied them in about an hour. Sure is nice to have our stuff here and except for two glasses everything is in great shape, so far.
Gonna be a bit until we don’t have boxes of stuff just glad they made it.

[lake p.a.l.]

Family time is important.
Will you get another boat? Whats your local waterway now?

I gather Lake Winnipesaukee is one of the favorites near us. It looks like less than an hour away. Looks kind of like Lake Berryessa but a bit bigger. We’ll probably go the toon route if and when we get back into boating.

 

[bocco]

Plumbing and electrical is interesting. I like the red and blue water pipes. Looks like an electric water heater. Is natural gas available in that area?

Not used to seeing exposed wires coming out of the top of the sub panel. What is the little gadget to the left of the panel?

Winnie is very toon friendly, performance boats not so much. For years it's been one of the top fast boat lakes in New England but as more and more libtards buy homes on the lake they have really gone after them. Few years ago they spent a summer writing noise tickets that no big block boat could ever pass.

Believe they now have a 45MPH speed limit.

Friend of mine lives on the lake and he said under no uncertain terms to ever bring my flat there, they wouldn't even let me launch.

 

[poncho]

This is the only time you will hear some good sounds on that lake, well worth attending.

I have several friends that run their circle boats.

Looks like a tv/cable splitter.

 

[endobear]

When purchasing a snow blower get one with a round discharge.

 

[Ziggy]

That was easy.

Not quite 867 5309 cool but still a nice little hint of seafoam green.
Will you be requesting a refund for the 5 months of unused registration from California?

 

[napanutt]

Yes. Pre-wired for co-axial. Looks like our provider used wi-fi though.

The water “pipes” are PEX. They’re plastic. I gather they’re less susceptible to freeze damage.

Fuck CA. As long as I don’t have to talk to them again they can keep it.

I agree just washing your hands of anything to do with Ca.gov is worth it.

I installed a powered/boosted version in our house for the TV's we run off the free standing antenna.

They’ll freeze.

I think the operative word was damage? They can maybe expand and contract, unlike metal would?

How's the cat doing? They typically don't like to be moved! Hope he's enjoying the new digs and not freaking out.

Not really. Much faster to Plumb with pex on a new house. It never freezes here so no issues. The only issue here they require 18" of copper of the water heater. Gets so hot pex will pop.

They tabby one has totally made himself at home.

Our Siamese mix dude is taking his time getting with the program.

All and all I’m very pleased with how the cross country trek went.

Also no earthquake straps.

 

[C-2]

Where's the stereo?

 

[WTR&PWR]

May be because it’s electric you don’t have to worry about the exhaust heat.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

We are a nationwide MEPF contractor, licensed in 42 states. It is very interesting to see the different methods used throughout the country. At the end of the day, it will most likely work fine for the duration of your time there.

 

[TBulger]

Congrat’s sir, we’ll miss you here, I’m from reasonably close to you. As I’ve gotten older I miss my birth place.

 

[NicPaus]

Interesting. No copper here.

Clearly not a CA built home. Our building codes are ridiculous.

Enjoy the new house , retirement and the grand kid.

 

[napanutt]

Where's the stereo?

Still packed. Brought the Bose sound link into the garage today while I put my work bench together. Gonna be a bit until I hook up the permanent system.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Or earthquakes...

Fuck yea!!!
Less than an hour at the local motor vehicle office.

Several years ago we were vacationing in VT and drove to Lake Winnipesaukee to see an in the water wooden boat show. It was way cool.

Hope you get the same opportunity.
