I must stay here awhile as I have many things to do:
-buy new bus
-make it liveable
-make some gas/food money
-go sailing, and diving

when it starts to get hot/swampy I will get REALLY motivated to head north

When is the Florida Festival?

Feb 10-13th (give or take a day or so). PM me for directions/address, we'd LOVE to have you out here for the weekend. Nothing monumental planned other than making some chili, having a fire, and raising a roof.

FWIW.

All you'll have to do when registering in FL is stand in line and pay them when the time comes.
are there any specifics as to the plumbing and electrics instellations

well it warmed up to around 33 here today. The weather here on the front range is variable this time of year, it supposed to go up to 61 on Monday. Its the negative numbers that occur sometimes that have helped my decision to move back down South!,...........
