Check out raptor22x on ebay, as I play with it. Also have a part time "Handyman" Service, specializing in repairs, painting, fibreglass and epoxy work. Hoping to get some stories into print or, even better, into movies.(Living in Boise Idaho for now, near the airport. Visitors always welcome; the great outdoors all around for now! Miss the ocean though! Have many fond memories of CPHS and the old San Fernando Valley. Where are you? How do you like it there? Let me know. Send a note, maybe we can get together sometime, someplace! love to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by! The latest: The next sailboat has been put on hold. I liked my new (6+ years) full-time job with the 124th Fighter Wing here in Boise and made a 6.5 go of it. The AirGuardsmen are the best bunch of folks I've ever worked with! It's kind of interesting to see some retiring in their mid forties! I'm senior to all 1500 at the base. I "earned" an unprecedented 25 awards the past 6.5 years.........and I say "Lord, I'm not sure what You have me there for"..............It's a long story how I even got hired with applicants in the hundreds applying. I was the 2nd one hired, 3 weeks after the first guy, 24 yrs old, and he is long gone. I am in building maintenance, and had been assigned the Wing headquarters, complete with the Wing Commander and on down, as one of my 5 buildings, the past 6.5 years. One of the awards is from the Wing commander, presented in an unprecedented manner. I have been treated with respect, courtesy, and honor(as a DAV/Veteran). Most say it's because of the old fashioned work ethic. , Had........another Corvette to fill in the interim. . Especially since many of the fighter pilots I work with have either one or the other! Neither is ideal in the winter months here, though some winter days the roads can be clear and the sun shining. When the smoke cleared, the upgraded C5 Corvette won.............for now. Maybe I should have priced the tires first!(rears are $1,000 EA). The Vette is f-a-s-t. It is pewter, 6 spd, with external engine horsepower upgrades, and suspension mods too. It's comparable in most ways to a ZO6. Pictures coming soon. Check out the 124th Fighter Wing on the net. You might see me in their online magazine called the Beacon Live. My son Chris is in the current one, and many others.
