Checking in!!

Post by Astro350SS »

Hey Y'all.
Just checking in. Haven't dropped by for a while so I figured I say hi. Wow, saw some names from long ago on the current members online at the bottom of the main page: Stan, Rocky, Locdoc. some others.

You all remember the Days of the purple haze, when Riley was always HITTING THE CAPS and mad at his computer, and we'd sit in the chat room, eating fudge brownies, and Cherry Coke was the answer to everything? Back then it was Stan, Steve, Frank, me, couple others use to sit and talk over v8 astros, and Steves 2nd burnout vids were saved in everyones computers... Man thems were the days.
And Petey and His 502 big block ( Thanks again for letting me drive your van Peter, I still have pictures of that day) Astro and the tramper.... Lots, DL, and the rest, sure have missed chatting with you all.
So what's everyone up to lately. Hope all is well with y'all.

I'm moving to Arizona next month, closer to family, better job, better climate.

Well, Hope this finds everyone in good health and spirits.
Take Care,
Bill

That was just totally uncalled for on both of your parts. Seems like you two could come up with something new. I have read those same lines over and over again. I am so disappointed in both of you.

You know what this means for you Deano.......................now for you Peter that is another story.
