I'VE BEEN RETIRED FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW. YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT HOW GOOD IT IS BEING RETIRED AND STAYING HOME FOR A CHANGE...I'VE TAUGHT MY YOUNGEST HOW TO RIDE A BIKE, GO TO LUNCH AT SCHOOL WITH MY DAUGHTERS, MEET MY WIFE FOR LUNCH DOWN TOWN...LIFE IS GOOD, ENJOY IT, YOU'VE EARNED IT.
Sorry about the "caps" thing, I too remember you typing in caps and others attempting to teach you online etiquette...

Welcome back Melvin. Thank you for your service to our country. I agree that you should bring the all caps back. It just doesn't seem like you without the caps. 
That was great fun back in the day when people tried to tell you how all caps was bad etiquette.

John - Welcome Back! As all have said, we appreciate your service and dedication to our country!
Hopefully you remember my 69 orange BB coupe from Raleigh.
A lot has changed - divorce, layoff, new job, relocation to K'ville, etc.
I'm planning to hit the next Grill57 cruise-in on the 16th. Most of them have been affected by the weather this year. Hope to see ya there!
