It's been 20 years, time sure flew by
I come across things time to time that remind me of the fun I had and great folks I met here and, on the water.
When I see a video of a boat ripping along with the sound of the open exhaust and a V-6, it takes me back to the Scream and Fly days and boat gatherings.
20 years slipped by so fast, I came across a video the other day that made me look at just how much time had actually passed.
We moved out of Florida in 2004, December actually, no boat, no job but a brand-new house and an unknown future ahead, complete life change geographically and mentally, time to slow down a bit.
Went from boats to bikes, riding the mountains and making that hobby also my job, that also got a bit too hectic, and I slowed down again.
Had my own gig for a few years and enjoyed most every day.
Health took a turn that made me think about things and reflect, the reflection of the fun times brought my thoughts to my old boat and the fun we had, some thoughts also went to the fun with the bikes, playing drums in a band but the boating, that stood out the most it seemed.
So cool to come in here and see it's still rockin like it always was!
Thanks Greg for all you do and the great memories it makes, there were so many folks I met and had fun with through here that I don't want to say in fear I would miss some but I hope all is well with everyone!!

Be thankful you have the memories and they still make you smile. Make as many new ones as you possibly can, while you can.

My brother!
Didnt you and I jump off a balcony into a pool bellow?
Arent you the same guy that worked his Fla job to the wee hrs of the morning before loading Wendy into the Skipmobile and heading to the Rumble on the River to front the band that you created??
Same guy that didn’t even bring his boat because you had so much to do with/for the band??
Same guy that shot the mythical video of my Vector busting a 100 for the first time??
Same guy the did a shrimp boil and organized a party to welcome me to Fla for that trip?
Same guy that went to Bobby Sr’s for a party there to listen to his amazing stories?
Thought so.
Skip you may have done more for me than anyone.
Amazing how time changes.
Cheryl and I are 2 wks away from moving back to Fla!
I hope Wendy is well.
Please tell her Hi!
Love yah brother!I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Gator! you Ole hotrod, yep, we covered some ground didn't we, man that was fun, so many places, so many people and still my fondest memories!
I still have the computer I used back then in a closet, always planned to get everything off the hard drive from those days but haven't yet, I need to.
So much time went by so fast it blew me away a bit when I got to thinking about it, they say it goes by faster as you get older, I believe them now.
Wendy is doing fine and still putting up with me for 39 years so far.
Where are ya heading in Florida?
