Not new either, but its been a while...

Post by 86astro »

Hi Everyone!

I have been gone from the board pretty much since my astro got wrecked...I miss it...

A lot has changed, and I see that there are still 2 astro boards, but this one seems the best so far...I did re-upload my powerpoints that some of you may remember in the general procedures section for everyone who may need them.

My son and I made a drastic change in life and when everything started crumbling apart in PA. We decided to start anew in sunny Florida! we are now in Crystal River, and I am going to be looking for a Astro, or maybe a safari. I currently am driving a 2000 Tahoe Limited, which is nice and rare, but for whatever the reason, i miss old reliable...my old 86... :cry:

Anyhow, things are looking up down here, slow but sure, and I really don't miss the snow in the least.

I really hope everyone is doing good...It has been a while...
