Welcome aboard, **jimbeam**. So…where exactly in TX are you? “Hellhole” could refer to quite a few places. I’m in Houston myself. 😉 ---

Actually in my case the hellhole is in reference to my state of mind right now. I’ve had a really bad run of luck lately. Where I am is in East Texas though. About 100 miles south of Dallas. I’ve lived all over though. Benn thinkin about headin back to the coast though. I’m looking at sailboats. Hopefully I’ll be able to sell my land and move down your way soon. I checked out a couple this summer but money is an issue right now. Soon as I get some legal shit over with NEXT week I’ll know more about wTF I’m gonna do. A 35 footer w/full electronic navigation and twin diesels. No more lawn mowers or property taxes. Waiting on a rebuild for the old softail and I’m set. Live onboard and take a cruise on the Harley to visit once in awhile. I’m thinking Clear Lake Marina. Then again, I could just go anywhere. ---

**jimbeam** , never mind. I tried to make a bad joke. Then I apparently lost all ability to be coherent. I’m a little distracted today–it’s payday, and my pay has apparently vanished. (Grrrr.) Anyway, welcome to the boards. ---
