Nope. Ya gotta take him. He's declaring refugee status from Wrong Island like so many others here have.

No givebacks. I called it!

Well can't make it but already in Florida - Welcome Bob!

BobM · « **Reply #4 on:** 8 Jul 2018, 08:44 pm »

Love you guys! After living my whole life on long Island I have come to realize it isn't the place I grew up anymore (but tell me what is). Time for a new phase and a new adventure.

You are always welcome to stop by our new home in Ponte Vedra Florida. Just PM me here and let me know when you are coming. If I don't answer to provide our secret address don't take it personally, I really don't want you there but I gotta put on a good face and say this kind of shit.

Hope to see you all on Friday at Pete's.

BobM

It was the Tavares contract wasn't it??!!

Actually it was the potholes ... and the traffic ... and the taxes ... and the winters ... and the traffic ... and the cost of living ... and the traffic ... and the congestion ... and the quality of life ... and the traffic. Did I say it was the traffic?

Congrats Bob. Trading snow for mosquitoes and reptiles that can eat you.

cheers,

Bob, Is it true you're liquidating all audio equipment and buying lots of white sox, sandals and shuffle board sticks?

I'm departing for vacation on Saturday morning, I'd love to stop by, it's going to be tight.

Best wishes on the move BobM, never an easy thing even when looked forward to. Good luck with the traffic, mosqui toes, & gators.

Just to clarify, I'm not moving to "old people" Florida (aka, the Villages or Naples or Venice, etc.). We will be in a thriving community with people of all ages. Looking forward to having lots more fun in the sun in the years to come.

Does this mean you are not selling your audio gear for 10 cents on the dollar?

Hi, wonder what are these taxes and how much?

BobM · « **Reply #15 on:** 14 Jul 2018, 11:14 am »

Thanks for putting together a great sendoff party Pete. You always outdo yourself.

It was awesome seeing my good friends one more time before I leave NY. There's a lot of years behind me our local audio club. Some of you I've gotten to know pretty well and others have been casual friends that I see once a month or so, but friends still. I will miss all of you characters.

We will definitely be back North from time to time visiting family. If a meeting coincides with my trip I promise I will definitely stop by and tell you all about Ponte Vedra Florida, the new friends, the neighborhood, the heat in the summer and the beach in the winter (when you're all digging out of the snow).

BTW - does anyone need any snow shovels?

Take care,
Bob

Income tax. NY state ~6.5%. FL state 0%. NYC ~4%. Ponte Vedra 0%.

rollo · « **Reply #17 on:** 14 Jul 2018, 06:23 pm »

So to live in NYC it costs over 10% more in taxes. Just not worth it any longer.

Ponte Vedra - Nocatee I’m guessing? Maybe I will get to meet you someday. I live over at Tapestry Park by the St. John’s town center.

Just saying :*)

These values are too small Iam impresed.
In my country the % values are per income bands:
Until 1.903,98    0%
From 1.903,99 til 2.826,65    7,5%
From 2.826,66 til 3.751,05    15%
From 3.751,06 til 4.664,68    22,5%
Over 4.664,68    27,5
