Howdy, been a while!
« on: January 27, 2017, 03:27:58 PM »
So, been quite a few years since I've been on the Eagle sites. How's everybody doing? I see a lot of familiar screennames and a lot of new ones too!
 I still have my wagon, she's getting all of the body work done. Now in San Diego, on the USS Pasadena. Anybody out here?
Recently cheated death in a car accident (hit and run driver flipped my Cherokee at 65 MPH)
Kind of looks dead in here, I guess facebook groups are killing internet forums these days.


I'm willing to bet she still runs though.

A guy sent me a picture of a lifted Eagle at the Nex here a few months before deployment, I've been trying to find it since. Probably yours!

I'm still in contact with him and he's a member of the FB group. Let me know if you want me to try to get him in contact with you.

Yeah, was able to crawl out, feet first, through the drivers window, I'm still sore and it hurts to chew, but I had no broken bones.
