Stop in for a cup of coffee

since we're on the topic, planning a family vacation for next spring/early summer. Anyone know of a good place along the gulf coast of florida? Went to Destin last year and it was great, but wanting to go farther south, maybe St Pete area

Check out the armed forces vacation club super deals for a place to stay, just enter the state and look.

I also got both fenders off last the car last night. I found a set of hood hinges close to me. Although, two different styles. I hope that isnt a issue. I have a 69 hinge with small holes and a 73 hinge with large slots.

The plan is to get the hood off the car tonight and paint the new hinges.

fun fun - not!

I've never been to Florida, other than flying in and catching a cruise ship.. I would like to explore it more some day.

my wife loves hers but it drives me nuts, those cups are EXPENSIVE and she never throws them away, just leaves them on the counter

ours was an Xmess present - sits in the closet and collects dust - pretty sure we are giving to the wife's sister later this month..

oh yea - see!!? Been all the way out on the Keys - there IS a reason I don't remember that one so well... hehehehe

You have got to be a member or something to get those prices.. There has to be a catch?!?!?

Military active, guard, reserve or retired only. One perk for your family for all the last minute I am going away for 6 months, when? Tomorrow!

Well so much for us then.. Wife was in for 7 years, but she is out now.. Wait, is that considered retired?

 

[ScampMike]

St. Augustine once for a wedding... that was a "time"!!

 

[halifaxhops]

I used it twice no catch. The resorts do it for a tax break and word of mouth advertising. They are world wide.

 

[halifaxhops]

Got to have a active id card, 20 is retired 7 is a Veteran

 

[ScampMike]

can you tell I like Florida?

 

[straightlinespeed]

Yep, that is what I was thinking.. Bummer! There was some great deals on there

Naples

itsn't that a Navy base?

 

[ScampMike]

@dukeboy_318 - ST.Pete is pretty mellow from what I remember - that bridge is something everyone should drive over once in their life..

Good Morning everyone.

I had the opportunity to start summer hours. So Im now working M-T 9 hour days, F- 8 hours, with every other Friday off. Should work out well for all of our summer plans with the family

so, do you mean that you are working 3 days a week ...Monday-Tuesday and Friday ??

 

[ScampMike]

itsn't that a Navy base?

heck no - there may be one there, but Naples is a pretty big area.. expensive once you get near the coast though

I was down there a bunch with the rescue wing for the shuttle launces pretty coo to see them go up while in a c-130 a mile away! Did STS92-101 I think! Never a two day trip it was always delayed, good food around there. Nasa footed the bill so we usually did Hilton or Sheridans when we were there.
