we'll probably end up living in St.Lucie area based on finding work for me. Cheryls office is in Vero.
Tennesse is without doubt one of the most beautiful states in the country with it's mountains, lakes and rivers!
I love the sun, the Intra Costal, Keys, Bahama's etc, etc.

Welcome to FLA Gary!!! I work over in Vero now and then. Not a bad little town. Me and my girlfriend met for lunch at Cpt Hirams lastweek. I saw you and Bobby talking about and gave it a try. Looks like a good place for a get together.

[mike woolf]

Hey your just in time Chris is headed this way the news crews are all excited.....

[Scream And Fly]

Gary, I'm surprised your insurance rate went up on the truck - my insurance dropped on my Z28 and Corvette. Not sure about trucks, however. I'm going to find out soon, since I just purchased one for the Progression.

But I do love the weather, and I know what you mean about running. I get about 10 miles on the bicycle everyday. Humidity is not nearly as bad as Long Island in the summer. I love it.

Pat, Thanks Bro!
Yeah we hooked up w/Bobby and his buds Saturday at Hirams.
All of the little islands just off the beach from there were covered with umbrellas, lawn chairs, coolers and partiers. Was way cool!
A bit rough during the day but I figure if a few of us went out and took over a stretch of beach and wait for calm periods :)
Probably going testing in Ft. Pierce Thursday moring if your in the area??
Sending you a p.m. also.

Mike, I'm ready. Was here (other coast) 2 or 2 1/2 yrs ago at the start of your record hurricane season. I've got a really good video of Charlie going through my back yard while I watched my Vector and Sonic hold their own luckily!! :o

Welcome back Gary! You missed a couple:

Pro's:
6) it is bikini season 11 3/4 months out of the year and the locals take full advantage of every day.
7) Since #6 is in effect, girls have to work out 12 months of the year... none of that layering crap or Saying "its my winter weight, I will lose it before april." Seriously, I heard a girl from Michigan say that.

[Instigator]

Greg, whats this crap of "Z-28 and Corvette"??
I move to the other side of state and you get a new sports car and boat??
Don't make me come back there :)

Fish, thank you sir!
And your are of course correct! What was I thinking??
First 2 weeks here I kept calling all my single friends back home and saying "you won't believe whats here"!!! Even picked one up for them, had her call my buddy from my cell at bar and gave me her number :eek:
Girlfriend knew of course.
Was funny one night I stumbled on a truck website and read of a young buck here in Vero biatching about it's lack of night life for people his age.
One place for him...."River Side Cafe"! Richt across the IC from our condo, on the water with docks!. All I can say is OMG@!
I have gotten busted a bazillion time for window shopping already though:cool:
She says, "and just what are you looking at?". :o
I point and say, "that of course"! :cool: Gotta love a girl w/a good sense of humor;)

[Jay R.]

its right at the palm beach inlet. Head south to blue heron blvd. head east, you'll go over a bridge, at the bottom of the dridge on the north side you see a park with 6 ramps, while on the top of the bridge look south and the large island surounded by boats is peanut island!

[chris_lacey]

I wish I could move to FL.
In addition to all the above, several guys down there have had V8's and 3.0l to trade for my bridgeport.

I could paint the Redline white and gets some vinyl graphics for it, fit right in.

[Instigator]
