New guy from Fargo, ND
Greetings all,
I have been a long time reader (feels like a decade or so if that is even possible...). I used to own a 1987 corvette and sold it many years ago.
Now married with kids and the usual life events I still miss the vette and will be shopping for a white C5 in the next year or so. Always been a sucker for fast cars but fell in love with the Corvette because it was more than just a straight line car. There is a whole culture and community among Corvette owners that is something special. Really looking forward to getting behind the wheel again and even spending the painful hours troubleshooting strange electrical issues and everything else associated with these cars that we love.
Anyhow, just wanted to say hello! /corvettewave

Welcome aboard!
Love your State. I have visited ND every year for the past 16 pheasant hunting. Didnt go this year; two consecutive years of bad breeding and I had to put down my English Setter last August.

It really is a beautiful state. Very sorry to hear about your Setter. I had to put down my German Shepherd this July at the young age of six due to some strange autoimmune thing. No fun.
Hope you make it out again soon. Where do you hunt?

We started out going to Beach ND and switch to Bowman about 10 years ago. But weather conditions have ruined the pheasant population probably for years to come. Nevertheless, its a great state with some great people.
