Has anyone heard from him lately? I sent a PM weeks ago but didn't get a reply. I last heard from him a year ago.

I haven't heard from him either.  He usually shows up on our squad board.  Hopefully he and his family are doing well.

Howdy, I replied PM Mav.

Just living the dream on Flathead Lake MT.

Youngest son graduated with a business degree in May. Oldest son works for Boeing, and he's getting married in Aug.

Upgraded a few toys before inflation overtakes everything this past winter.  :aok  New 5th wheel, new truck camper and new F350 Ford 6.7L DRW long bed with the 14k package. Life is good!

Rip!

Great to hear everything is fine!  You're a busy man.  Take care of that wonderful family you have.  A lot of us have been privy to your youngsters growing up.

You're a great Mom and Dad.  Job well done!

Eagler, forgive my brainfartiness, but were you not the F15 driver in your career?
If so, are you still in TX?

You're right. I'm in the process to move to another city and get a new job. I need to buy a new (well, different) car or small truck before they double in price or something.
