Val-p small. Don't blink or you'll miss it. They do have a strip club if you want to call it that.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Bryan, I retired out of Hurlburt Field in 1998. I’ll do my best to keep the SO off of your tail. Not much I can do about the PDs. So are we the “Lower Alabama” chapter or the “Panhandle” chapter?

Ah yes, The People’s Republic of Valparaiso. It’s currently the city against the USAF and the F-35. Don’t quite understand that one. Playground Recording Studio is still there. They’re in the current phone book anyway. I’ve never met Mr. Finley.

Early Sunday morning has been my training time. It’s amazing how left and right turns from a stop can become an ordeal. But, things are improving and I’m having a blast riding. I forgot how much fun it really is.

Y’all take care and thanks again for the warm welcome.
