 Tojo72,

 Good idea renting first.  That'll give you a chance to checkout the area after all the ...

flooding: Asheville, West North Carolina...

If you do pick a flood prone area, switch to Sailing Ship modeling. The knowledge gained on this forum will be of assistance on a 1:1 scale boat.

Good luck with the move. Ya'll take care.

   Enjoy retirement Tojo, from what I have heard you'll wonder when you had time to work.

      One of my favorite Sci'Fi authors live in Raighly/ Durham, sorry about the spelling, and when I was a truck driver next to the great PNW, the I40 corridor was,(is), beautiful, especially in the fall.

      Good luck and get your bench up and running, you've been gone to long.

Well ! 

 Took ya long enough ! That's why we call the south  "God's Country " Beautiful Mountains ( in Places ) gorgeous trees and streams an friendly folks . I am originally from Arkansas . Had to live in Buffalo for a while , then Florida . Nor . Cal . And finally made it to Texas . Arkansas Has changed so much I doubled back to the Lower Hill country here in Texas and love it . All Y'all will love it In the Carolina environment . .

Congratulations on retirement and the move. Western N. Carolina and the Asheville area are beautiful (our daughter went to UNCA). Enjoy !

Welcome to Dixie, closest you can get to heaven without dyin' ! Just remember "y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural, "y'alls is singular possessive, "all y'alls" is plural possessive. It's ok to leave the top button of your overalls unbuttoned, but not the lower ones, shirt is optional. Congratulations on the move!

thanks everybody for the kind words,really have not done much yet but unpack boxes,but will have to have a look around for sure.

this is such a great forum,only a few of us have met in person but it's like we all know each other,it's great sharing with all of you,all of you are doing a great job keeping it fun here.

Glad to hear the move is complete Tojo. Maybe we'll run into each other at one of the local shows some day. I'll be on the lookout for you. 

Enjoy the retirement and the new locality.

And Lake Norman if you're a NASCAR fan.  Never been, but I have a friend that lives in the area.

Congrats on your move and retirement, Tojo.

You are a nice guy and we wish you all the best down yonder.

Good to learn this, you've made it happen in short order. I hope your dreams of retirement in No. Carolina will all be realized, congratulations. Found any military museums to visit there?

Best wishes to you on the move. I'm sure you'll be happy there. Get over to Asheville and see Biltmore House.

I did a lot of work in Winston Salem, always liked going out there.

 

Biltmore estate is beautiful you'll love it I'm originally from Tennessee just over the hills from there. In my opinion living in and around the Smokeys is the must beautiful and peaceful place on earth. Enjoy your retirement.

It is a nice place, hope ya'll get settled in quick with no problems! 

I will admit the pollen is really bad this year though. 

There's lots of cool stuff around within a day's drive. 

Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington, NC

Carrier Yorktown in Patriot's Point, NC

Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA

Battleship Wisconson in Norfolk, VA

D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA

AAF Tank Musuem in Danville, VA   

Congratulations on getting moved in.  Moving is not fun, period.  My sister moved to North Carolina several years ago after getting sick of Buffalo, NY winters.  She absolutely loves living there.

Congrats on the move, Tojo! Sounds like the perfect place to retire to!

Best of luck to you Anthony and your significant other. I had two friends move to NC from Washington a few years ago. I hear it's really beautiful there. Hope the kits made it in one piece. I too am moving in the next few days.

I’m sure it feels good being completely moved in. I’ve never been but I’ve heard  it’s quite nice. 

Congratulatuons!  Nascar country for sure!
