tyrion Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Dropped Jasen off at the airport on his way to Fort Knox.
swt61 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 For good or for a visit? To paraphrase Al of sorts. Roundtrip booking or one way? You implied singular booking meaning OW. One way baby!!! I'm moving to Sacramento! I've wanted to move out of Texas since, well since about a week after moving to Texas. It only took 12 years, but things have happened that have helped to push me in that direction. I'm excited! I won't be a true Bay Area guy, but I imagine Al, Ric, Steve and others will open the gate and let me through once in a while. I'm also trying to tag other changes onto this one, i.e. healthier eating, better and more exercise (impossible to ride a bike safely here), building a better social life (I have really missed throwing dinner parties), etc... 5

Congrats on the pending move.... very exciting! I've wanted to live in/near the Bay area since the first time I visited... so jealous.
n_maher Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Excellent news, Steve. Mike, I'm sure it was a tough trip but a proud one as well.
tyrion Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Excellent news, Steve. Mike, I'm sure it was a tough trip but a proud one as well. It was both. Watching him walk into the terminal with the green Army duffel on his back was not easy. On the bright side, they didn't charge him $25 for the checking it.
skullguise Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Congrats Steve, sounds like things are really snapping into place well! And Mike, echo what Nate said. We can all share a little bit of your pride!
morphsci Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Posted June 28, 2013 Great news on the move Steve. Also echoing Nate's sentiment Mike.
jvlgato Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Awesome Steve! Bittersweet, Mike. Best wishes to you there ...
tyrion Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks all. He has not committed yet. This is the first two years of ROTC in 30 days. It's pretty intense. He has to decide before his junior year (end of summer) if he is going to continue which I think includes a 4 year commitment.
Voltron Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Cool stuff, Steve. The gate to Mayberry or door to SF will always be open for you, but I'm afraid I cannot let you through other openings (and I mean afraid). Thanks all. He has not committed yet. This is the first two years of ROTC in 30 days. It's pretty intense. He has to decide before his junior year (end of summer) if he is going to continue which I think includes a 4 year commitment. That is both impressive and frightening, Mike. I'm not against the service, but I hope he ultimately chooses a different path. That would make me nervous as hell as a parent.

guzziguy Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Congrats again, Steve. Though I'm afraid that Sacramento will remind you a bit of Texas. Still, your social life should take a big step up. Congrats also to you, Mike.
swt61 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks all! Brent, you and everyone else here are invited to the first dinner party! it may be a long drive home though. at Al ! Mike, I hope everything works out for the best. Ken, Texas isn't the problem. Parts of Texas are awesome. The Corpus Christi Bay area isn't one of them.
Grahame Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Steve, it's like they knew you were coming https://www.facebook.com/SacramentoBaconFest https://www.facebook.com/events/308390039295325 http://www.wherevent.com/detail/Sacramento-Bacon-Fest-Beer-Bacon-on-the-Boulevard http://baconandbuttersac.com/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/bacon-and-butter-sacramento
Salt Peanuts Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Did some more painting. Not looking forward to cutting in more than few edges.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Happy for you Steve. I hope things turn out well for him Mike. Me: sold the Lancer. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk
Aimless1 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Missed the news on your son Mike. Congratulations. Always nice to say adios to a vehicle you no longer want Dusty.
Augsburger Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Congrats Mike, and best wishes for your son.Steve, let me be the first to welcome you to team Cali BBQ FTW! Your first job will be to build a massive BBQ island then sign up to be the second stop of the MOA tour de Cali.Welcome 'bro!
Wmcmanus Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Great news, Steve! Mike, it's interesting how your kids are going in such different and yet equally positive and exciting directions. You must be proud!
Absorbine_Sr Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Steve, Debbie and I are penciling ourselves in for a future dinner party. We believe you would be one hell of a host. Mike, figuring that your son has learned well from his father, I'm sure he'll make good decisions regarding his future.
