Hi Phil A. I noticed you live in Central Fl. We use to live in Orlando. 13-14 years total I guess.

Re: Hello from Naples, FL
Nice gear...gratz! I have some family in the area, out near Marco Island. Grand Parents moved there in the '60s and some aunts and uncles followed. I have not been there since 1975 but been over to visit my sister in Ocala last year.

Re: Hello from Naples, FL
Thanks Randy. Yes, Ocala is well north of us, but Marco Island is a beautiful area - and just down the street per se. It's closer to Treviso Bay (see above) than we're. Though we moved here just 6 years ago, I understand the area has grown immensely from the 70s. Originally Posted by Randy Myers

But it is still a very small quiet town. Marco Island is even smaller - loaded up with a lot of very nice real estate.

I’m somewhat new to the forums as of a few years ago, and when people started coming over it was awkward telling my wife that I met these guys off the internet
Hope you guys have some fun!

I can only imagine. My wife is kind of use to it with me. I'm ex-military, etc. so I have a host of friends that I've re-connected with on the internet come down on occasion.
