[Reitrof]

I don’t remember that! But I’m old

I hear that.

so I went back in the annals of my mind and I remember bringing my metal bucket of bazooka joe bubble gum to many meets! I also remembered that you couldn’t go to lunch with us a papa Ginos because you were going bowling with your two girls! I have pics of that meet somewhere!

What town Mike?

Burlington, close to CVG.

I have met Mark and Bruce (at The Mitty in 2011), but a meeting with Jeff has eluded me to date.

You're so lucky you have eluded Jeff so far.

Haha!

Met up with a few Miata friends in Carthage NC (about 35). Had some barbecue at the Pik and Pig @ the airfield. Good times!

You coming to the Miata Reunion in New Jersey this October @chiefmg? If so, we can finally meet up.

My wife agrees with @Reitrof

I should (emphasis on the word) be home then. Would have to run it by the boss.

Well let's hope that you will have no delays out at sea and that the boss will be gracious when you have your land legs back!

Time will tell. I do have a college reunion in September, but just found out the ship's schedule might mean I won't make that so it could open up the possibility.

Little car show Saturday

 

[bazooka joe]

Did some non car stuff with the grand boys

 

[Reitrof]

Where are you now? Back home?

Still in NC. I’m driving home in the Miata on the 8th of May. I’ll be home for a few weeks then fly back to NC and drive robin and our stuff home.

Sorry to hear you may miss your college reunion. I never went so don't have to worry about those and never went to a HS one either. Didn't like a lot of the people then, why would I pay money to sit with them now? haha Sadly, I have lost touch with the few close friends I had my senior year.

 

[CTt3P5]

They are getting so big Mark! Looks like they are having some fun too!

 

[bazooka joe]

Changed the oil and filter. Added a few things yesterday also upgraded the shop!

 

[bazooka joe]

So some more “improvements” Robin calls them embellishments!
Added the last of the Piercemotorsports chromoly underbracing to the rear, installed my Hard Dog roll bar, a rear diffuser by Verus and added a gloss black rear spoiler by Moss.
Got some Chinese vent rings to match my shift knob button, starter button and control knob.
Oh and new vanity plate!

 

[CTt3P5]

Please let Robin know that I like the "improvements" you have made.

 

[Natey]

I'll be back in the family soon. We ordered a white RF Club with the brembo package and it should be here by the end of the week.
This will be our 3rd Miata. Stoked!!

 

[CTt3P5]

Congrats Natey!
