Back safe and sound from Iraq
« on: September 19, 2007 - 11:00:18 AM »
Hey everyone, I don't know if anyone noticed I haven't been around for awhile or not, but I got home from Iraq a few weeks ago. The wife and I had a lot of catching up to do and we just got back from camping and going to the beach. I had a blast and its great to be back home. Hopefully I won't get deployed again before I get out next year but you never know. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support. I really appreciate it.

I've gotten to take the Cuda out a few times since I got back. It's been great driving it again. I just installed the front spoilerette "eyebrows" on it the other day. I think it looks really cool. I like 'em.

Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hi. Oh, btw, I have decided to sell my 71 Javelin SST that I was going to modify. I love the car, but I need to let it go along with a lot of other things around here to get some investment money. If anyone is interested, shoot me a pm. It comes with the original 304 that is apart with a spun main bearing and the bored 360 with new pistons that I was having done for it.  Asking $3,200.00 Thanks.

Welcome back man! Sounds like a good plan to just go camping and reconnect with your family. Thanks from my family and me for the sacrifices you made on our behalf. Take it easy and good luck on the sale of your car.  :wavingflag:  :cheers:
