Eric's Story

Currently retired and living in Mechanicsville, Virginia, but soon to be moving to New Mexico. After a stint in the Coast Guard (been out so long that one of the ships served on is a museum in the Baltimore Harbor). After the military I worked for the Florida Department of Corrections, the Department of Health and Rehabilitative services and, finished up with nearly 30 years at the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Also spent many years as an EMT, both in the military and here with the local rescue squad. ...Expand for more
Both kids are long out of the house, most of my time is spent figuring out how to irritate the kids by spoiling my grandchildren. Breaking ground on "Bog Ranch West" in Mountainair, New Mexico and hope to be able to relocate in mid-2026. A retirement in the high desert plateau of New Mexico is a fitting punctuation for a busy life. Retirement got boring so I started a hobby that has turned into a company. Providing drone services to folks in Virginia, New Mexico, and Florida, has been a lot of fun and kept me out of trouble…..sort of.

Made it to Buxton for the tournament.  Loved listening to the participants share stories and strategies.  Weather is exceptional, we shall see who takes home the trophies tomorrow.
Just an observation for mr newest friend.
The work in progress
You know you are getting old when your last duty stations is a museum and your rack is being used as a display in the gift shop.

Getting ready to settle in with 8000 friends and a national TV audience.  Kermit I wish you could have experienced a crowd like this at Ft. Myer.

25 degrees, 6 1/2" on the ground and snow just pouring down from a dark sky, yet there were only a few hundred empty seats as VCU took out UMass.  Even a blizzard can't keep those crazy VCU fans away from the Siegel Center!
I can't believe that VCU was able to get 5000 people out to watch a practice on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon.  Those folks must be nuts!  Oh, wait a minute, I was one of those nuts.....oh well.
Yesterday's fiasco made me want to share this sign.  Had I been smart, I would have walked briskly away from the girls.  Final count was four stings confirmed, maybe five.  At least two on the right ankle, maybe three, swel
Thanks to all my friends who sent happy birthday wishes.  From my beekeeping friends, to my ex-shipmates, to my past classmates, all my friends and from a special star, they were all greatly appreciated. 

The day was spent
