Welcome from Sacramento! I grew up in Bakerspatch so we might have some common ground. But we left in '82 so it's changed a LOT

Welcome from a little town east of Stockton. I have 10 more years of wrenching before I retire. Used to travel through Bakertucky quite often.

Thanks for the welcomes, with retirement comes setting aside time for computer time, so it might take some time to respond but I do thank you all ,

Congrats on your retirement from Sunny Ohio. I have 37 years twisting wrenches in so far but not retire yet. I always joke and say my retirement plan is 6 feet of dirt and I have about 4 ft saved up so far!

Stayed in Bakersfield a few time while racing at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Great race track.
