Title: Going Home!..., Right around the corner from Para,....!
Post by: twyacht on September 22, 2008, 06:52:29 AM
Glad to be back! It's been little while as I went "lurking" for a possible new job in my old home town of Ft. Laud, Fl. I left in 1988, and swore I'd never go back. Silly me :P.

The marine/yachting industry is struggling big time, especially here in coastal NC. BUT, Southern Fl. is going strong. Anyway, I played my cards right and through the power of prayer, landed a whopper of an opportunity down there.

Oh, it just happens to be around the corner from the Para headquarters. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.

I'm a happy camper, except for the packing and moving. BUT there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and its NOT a train!

Until, I get set-up, these are the guys I'll be going to the "range" with! ::) ::)

Haz, I'm Fla. bound, glad my CCW reciprocates, anything else changed on the firearms front?

Thank you

Tom W

TW,

Ft LaTe Da ( ;D ) is a bit far from me but no, in general FL is still very 2A friendly.  With a CCW you can take you gun pretty much anywhere including state parks and to work (parking lot).

Congrats on the cool results of prayer.

BTW, do lose the dorky white guy dance, and also do let me know when Para comes out with the MB commemorative.

 :D

Dorky white guy officially banned! I hope Para has a good window washer as I'll have my face against the glass, and applying for a part-time job, I'll sweep brass at the test range, test fire protos 8) 8) 8) 8) ;). , and the MB commemorative.

Thanks for the heads up Haz, I really appreciate it, the town is different now for sure, they cleaned up all the bums and hookers, and dressed up the place really well. You can even park you fancy sports car on the street, and not have my former "associates", borrow it. ;)

Welcome home!  If you need help with anything I'm 30 min. north of you.

Thank you Scott, I'll need directions to a good range( not the driving type) 8), or 5, maybe one outdoors that is rifle rated.

I appreciate it, 1 more Fl. DRTV member, than we road trip to the land of Haz. Is there a road paved in ammo boxes? ;D

I don't think Pathfinder has ever been Rick Rolled. Believe me it's better than being Goatsexed.

Sorry, Tom, but you can't leave until you find your suitable replacement in the N.C. Salt Air Coastal Defense League. 8)

I just can't cover it from here.

Good luck in FL. Seems like quite a migration that-a-way.
Mac.
