Back from the dead

Big Daddy · 05-12-2010, 08:42 AM

Hello to those who remember me and nice to meet those who don't know me.

It has been a very difficult couple of years for me financially as I was laid off from my job in December of '08 after 2 years of working only 50% of the time.
(probably why I got laid off).

Well I have a new position with Crowley Maritime in Jacksonville, FL. I am on a 3 month contract to hire and I am planning on moving down here when the position becomes permanent. I have an apartment here now so if you're in the area or planning a visit drop me a note.

Enough about me I hope all the oldies but goldies are still around and doing well? How's the club faired over the past couple of years? Hope everyone is doing well and hope to see some of you this year.

Stang I've been in Asheville hiding out until recently, no money means no car FUN!!

BUT I did go to a very nice Mustang Show here in Jax last weekend put on by the Jax Mustang Club. Several VERY nice cars were there!!

Welcome back Greg. Congrats on the new gig too.

In tough times lean on your SVT Cobra Club friends...happy to help if needed.

**cobrabitn** · 05-18-2010, 10:40 PM

Sounds like a good time Greg, glad you could make it back!

nckissfan · 05-18-2010, 11:58 PM

hope the new job goes well, Greg! Have fun in the Florida sun. Good thing, no state income tax!

Great to hear from you again, Greg. I, too have suffered in this tough economic climate, really curtailing my club activities as well.

Hope the oil from the gulf doesn't come to Jax.

Big Daddy · 05-20-2010, 08:29 AM

Thanks again for the welcome backs.

I will enjoy the fact of not paying the extra taxes down here and the SUNSHINE doesn't hurt either.

Dave sorry to hear the economy bit you also, hope you are doing well. You still with Betina (sp?). Maybe sometime late this year I can make an event???? Don't know when or where but I'll be keeping my eyes open for a weekend I can make.

Maybe the '01 needs to smack the Dragon again this year!!

Wow have not seen you on here in a long time. Glad your back. Hope all goes well in the future. Every thing has been scaled back for me for a long time.

Again glad your back.

I was snooping on SVT Performance and saw your next gen driver at the wheel. She's a cutie! Take care.
