    I recently accepted a promotion and will be relocating to Greensboro NC. Are there any other Taco lovers in the area?

    I have a buddy who lives there. I visited a few months ago and really liked the area. Nice small(ish) city with lots of character. Wouldn't mind living there myself honestly.

    Probably one of my favorite parts of TN. I took my Wife up there and we went up on that big Bald. I can't remember the name of it but there was a lot of huge rocks sitting out on top of it and you could see for miles when you got to the top.

    As long as someone can show up with a spring compressor ! :D
    My 5100s and AAL set should be here in a week or so and I need somebody with far more skills, knuckle skin, and tools than I have to show me some love.

    Are you thinking of doing some trail blazing or some wrenching ?
