    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    I have heard, but never investigated myself, that it is getting challenging to find nice areas in Jacksonville. A Navy family recently got orders to move there. They have been exploring areas to find a nice place for the family.

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    We recently moved to Florida from north Georgia. My thoughts: I loved north Georgia. We lived in Rome. Not stupid cold and not stupid hot. Cost of living was excellent. People were great for the most part. Had a great home with almost an acre in a subdivision in the woods. Been in Fort...

    Moving to Florida this Weekend

    Ya know, I joined the Air Force in 1984 and didn't know Combat Control or Pararescue existed until I became a recruiter in 1993 or I probably would have gone for it. I was all into my Air Traffic Control radio maintenance job.

    Moving to Florida this Weekend

    Thanks! The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. Worked sun up to sun down finding a job, getting the house in order, and packing. I got a self storage unit for stuff we won't need right away. Thing that worried me about layoff is I'm 60 years old and it's not easy finding something...

    I go in for tire repair and the man asks about my windshield wipers....?

    I have a work car that I take to the dealership for oil changes. They would ALWAYS come out with a "dirty" engine and cabin filter. They wanted something like $120 to replace both so I reject. Then the next time I replaced both (with the company card) for about $45 before taking it in just...

    My dad owned a Sapporo. I took my driver's license test in it. IIRC, Challenger had the three "ribs" on the B piller and Sapporo was plain...or my dad's car had a little side light there.

    Trying to summon the motivation

    I thank you all. As I was reading through this thread yesterday I said to myself "self, you have all the parts to put a mechanical fuel pump on the 5.9 Magnum that you've been putting off". So, today I got out the garage and tore into it. The funny thing is, once I got started I didn't...

    Trying to summon the motivation

    That's what I don't like most about winter. 10 most important 2 letter words. I once gave that message to a graduating Air Force Tech Scool class. I hope some of them remember it. Thanks for the reminder!

    The first Atlanta Speedway. This rare postcard shows the Atlanta Speedway, which opened in 1910. The course was the brainchild of Asa Candler Jr., a Coca-Cola heir. Unfortunately, the speedway closed only a year later, and in 1919 became the city’s airport, Candler Field. The site is now home...
