just figured out how to add picture :)
that is how my son found the car, and the rest is history
 
sorry for the misunderstanding, I was referring to my avatar, but I'll add it here also

Welcome, from Oregon! My wife and I are both from Tampa/St. Pete. Went to school at USF and UT.
 
Welcome aboard :thumbsup:
Nice looking 71 twister.

We've lived all over this beautiful country. Florida. Massachusetts. Colorado. Texas. Minnesota, Catalina Island, and now Oregon. My wife and I have gypsy souls. I can tell you that each State has its ups and downs. Oregon (and the PacNW) has the best weather and landscape of any place we've lived. I woke up this morning at 5am and saw/heard an eagle flying overhead. It's beautiful. The people here are kind of loony for the most part, but no worse than some bordertowns in Texas.

We miss parts of Florida. I miss the white sand beaches and the smell of sun tan lotion on pretty girls in the Summer. I miss the car scene for sure. But I don't miss the bad drivers and the crushing humidity.

I guess what I'm saying is, home is where you make it.

I live there for 4 years after high school and was just there 2 weeks ago for a week visiting relatives and it's definitely two showers a day, mandatory...
 
We have just started the "rains every day" season.

...and in the past 2 weeks the humidity has gone from "moderately uncomfortable" to "borderline oppressive".

July should bring the aforementioned "crushing".

Who else gets 100% humidity without rain?

I'm finishing up an exterior paint job, and a metal roof in Plant City.... the rain is here
 
30-40% chance of rain every day for the entire forecast.

For those in other states (except maybe parts of WA) in Florida, that means there's a 100% chance it's gonna rain somewhere, and 30-40% chance it's gonna rain on you.
