Well, as things are settling down, I have finally started moving more "stuff" to the new house.  Household wise we are down to items that we have yet to throw out, or otherwise dispose of.  We found that we have the market cornered with antique dishes that once belonged to various family members.  Didn't realize we had so many, as most were packed away and hiding from us.

Today I hauled up a load of tools and equipment from the garage.  I hadn't done much along that line, other than move some duplicate tools up here.  My youngest had a farm tractor tore apart, and needed a few tools, so I left most of that stuff for his use.  Now the tractor is done, and I can now finish moving the garage.  I'll save the wood working things for last, as I still have some repairs to do to the old house before we list it.

To say that I am looking forward to being done is an understatement.

I did take the 'wing out for a 100 mile loop yesterday, damn that felt good. :biggrin:

I need to change the oil in my steel horse. I was checking out how much oil was on line. . .  :biggrin:

I don't envy you the task let me tell you! When we moved in here I found crap I forgot all about having in the garage loft and in boxes in the attic. 90% of it was given away or trashed. . .

Now we have three times that amount of crap. . . If we ever move from here it will kill me. . . :spooked:

  Have you tried putting any of your junk out by the street and putting a free sign on it.  It sure has worked for me.

Yeah, it worked in Meadowbrook, but not so well here. . .

I was looking over there, from Pendleton to New Palestine, but we could not find a place we liked.  Yes, we were pretty damned picky.  We ended up finding this place, about 8 miles west of Lebanon, and fell in love with it.  The right house, on the right kind of property, with easy (multiple choices) access to Indy.   Now after six months of living here, I am glad we chose this place, and have no regrets. 

Not knowing anyone in the area is refreshing.  We have no preconceived notions about anyone or anything, so there is no baggage to deal with.  Had we moved to Ptown, I would have had a few skeletons in my closet to deal with.  This way we both have a clean slate, and deal with things as they come up, without pre-judging.

I can understand not winding up in this area.  With the state of things in Madison Co., it's not someplace I'd recommend nor would I be here were there other viable options for my wife and myself.

Glad you and your wife found a place and area y'all are happy with and works for ya'.   :yes:

Now...

Most dealt with school days, and my interactions with some folks.  Trying to let it go has been a life long struggle, as I tend to hold a grudge.  So moving back may, or may not, would have been a wise move.  As it is, I can let sleeping dogs lie, and get on with life. 

Nuff said. :wink:

I'm not a big fan of the Pendleton area anyway.  After dealing with the people there by having a business there, working there, and living there, I'm not impressed nor a fan.

I have to say that the school system is what attracts me to that town.......I live in the school district, but not in the town.  It has a nice park, a great little league system....it's location is great for those who want to commute to indy to work...I think there are many good people who live there.

But, I know all it takes is ONE bad incident, such as you experienced Y, and I understand your logic.

It is not a perfect town, by a long shot....but it does have some nice qualities to it.

  The  wife and I live in Pendleton for a short while.  We found the town full of cliques.  If you were new and weren't in one of them, you were nothing. 

  The town is now full of Yuppies who want to act rich and have and far as I am concerned the whole town and police department seems so phony.   :yes:

You guys have Pendleton figured out. :wink:  Having grown up just south of town, and not in town, I have experienced everything you guys mention.  I got along great with the folks from Ingalls and Markleville, but some of the Pendleton crowd was a different story.  A few were fine, but there was one or two bunches......... :rant:

One thing for certain, we were not going to live inside the city limits of Pendleton, or anywhere else.  Country living was our only absolute requirement for our move, and we did just that.  Not having children at home really freed us up, and allowed us to live anywhere.  I can definitely say, being back in the countryside is wonderful.  We are really enjoying this house and it's location.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the new home as well as the new location.   :smile:

We're "almost country" being on the edge of town with agricultural fields right across the road. . . As far as the eye can see. . .  :smile:

Right now the farmer is having a retention pond dug on the north end of that field because it floods every spring a ruins his crops anyway. . . And the local municipality (and the power company) have been asking him to do so in order to help relieve some of the periodic flooding that happens in the area too. . .

A neighbor and I asked the farmer if he's going to put fish into it. He laughed and said he really hadn't thought about that. We both told him that if he didn't we would!  :icon_twisted: :biggrin:
