Just catching everyone up......
Well gang, I can't even remember the last time I posted here and I have had limited contact with only a few.
I got the job at McKesson Corporation (they are #14 in the Fortune 500 list), so yes, they are a huge company (and they are still growing). I am temporarily living with some of the GA Crew, Dave & Carol, who have put me up in the carriage house apartment above their detached garage. Outstanding digs!
My new salary is beyond expectation and is beyond anything I would have acquired after many more years (if ever) at my old job in Palm Coast.
I work now in Alpharetta GA, living about 10 miles away in the Canton area. I see Patti every-other weekend; either I go down, or Patti comes up.
Our house in Palm Coast is on the market and we are getting above-average showings (frequency) according to our realtor. We've had a dozen or so folks through the place, and we know it only takes one to be the buyer.
I flew down to Daytona a couple of weeks ago to fetch my Street Glide. I had a great ride back up here, and a few weekend treks around the area up here are awesome.
I think this picture below is a decent indication of my local riding now.
On the map below, I am living at "A", the above picture was taken at "B" (Helen, GA), and the south-end of the Dragon at Deal's Gap is at "C".
160 miles from "A" to "C". Taking this route is about 4 hours one-way to the Dragon (hills, mountains, lots of slow-going). If we take faster routes, the Dragon is about 1.5 hours away.
