Welcome aboard, that all sounds awesome! Minus the sinking of your truck, of course. I bank with USAA, and have always been happy with everything. Can't say I have ever been salt water fishing, but I spend a good amount of my free time on lakes and ponds with my fishing rod and reel, and often with the kayak.

Hello scrdanis:

Welcome to the chapter.

Sad to hear about the truck.

What did it take to recover the truck?

I didn't realize you were dead, Ray. Only ex-Marine is a dead Marine.

Well sorry didn't realize the wording made that huge a difference. Guess I'll keep my mouth shut next time.

Im not sure it does. In the corps we had a saying " no such thing as a ex-marine" Thats why when everyone got out the term "former-marine" was used.

You coming by the shop Saturday?

Yes it was a very nice theater.
We went to see Gary Allen ( country ) and the wife got some great seats, 6th row center.
What kind of work do you do?

Yes I do mainly remodeling and small additions.
It was a slow winter but right now I am swamped.
I'm working 6-7 days a week and will be for a few months.
I booked out a little early today to get to some paperwork.
