Hi everybody,

I apologize...I've been mostly lurking for awhile. I will try to be more active--the thing is, I've been really busy.

One of the things I've been occupied with is finding where, outside of the People's Republic I want to live. I have finally found it, and bought a place in Port Angeles, Washington.

Are there any COTEPers in the area?


Randall

If you're driving up to Washington, better call me as you pass through the bay area, we'll have lunch.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

I'll be driving up the 5, but if I do get to the bay area I'll give you a shout.

It does feel like I'm escaping. It felt great to stop withholding CA state income taxes. Woohoo, more money for shooting!

WA gun laws are unfortunately trending towards following CA, but they're still a few years behind and nothing nearly as stupid as CA has. Hopefully that won't change.

Here's some of the view from my new place (the forest is behind me, so I can hunt without driving anywhere )

I think I remember an interview with the Motorcycle now gun builder Jessie James. He had no idea how much California had been stealing from him and his business till he moved to Texas. There was so much red tape and taxes and fees that he thought that was just how all states were. He said there was even a tax on closing a business. How crazy is that! You close your business and they still want your money so they bleed it from you even if you are closing!
