Lucky procreating

I wish I could post the picture of Lucky at Dave Kneale's halloween party. He was dressed as a Christmas tree and was walking around from outlet to outlet to plug himself in while he was drinking.

Should this guy be having children?

Seriously though, I saw the pics and they had a beautiful child. The best of luck to the Luciano family.

Hello out there...

Yo...yo...yo...Tharpage in da house...

Thanks Snapper for getting my account up and running. I'm still with the Brits and getting plenty of sun in Oman. If you guys didn't know, OOMA is shut. Everyone's split between the two other sites.

Lucky's got kids? Whoa...I've been out of the loop for too long...

finally worked

Gentlemen- (finally figured out how to post on this category-i hate computers)

Just wanted to become a part of the Shenanigans.
It has been a while but I think I can still tell Inigo that he is "A Street Punk AND a Liar!!!"
Snoop, what's shakin? Any predictions on the weather patterns of JAX?
Skippppppyyyyyy?
Hal, It happened AGAIN this morning and I couldnt beleive it!! I got better looking.
Z, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, how's the BMW?
BC, wow, long time, played any soccer with the Brits?

Who else is out there? Skipper Ryan? Dont let these fools fluster you with Jabs on JOPA Jealous rage comes in many forms including those who see that products from the Florida Community College cant win at the "Big Level". (yeah, Inigo, I am coming after you!!)
Tharp, heard they put a Hooter's on Diego with the TWO women that live there.

I am in Virginia Beach at NAS Oceana with my wife and new daughter. Things are great. Hope all is well.

A follow up post for taking FAA exams for Corpus pilots. Once you study the gouge from Sheppard Air, go to Aviation-Academy to set up your exam w/ Kelley Bazemore (She runs a FAA examination center). Any questions from Corpus guys drop me a line. I'll post a name and number of the local Dr. for the Class 1 Medical. You can get a Class 2 Medical from the flight surgeons on base.

Aloha Lusty, it happened to me today again.
Lucky where are you???

To all: I am still hanging in Denver but will soon have a new job. Nothing like being on the receiving end of a corporate buyout. The new job should be a great opportunity and if anyone needs a discount at HD give me a ring. I won't give you a discount, but give me a ring anyway.

Peace.

Lusty,
Good to see you have not become shy since going to the dark side of naval aviation. No worries about JoePa around here. He and I spoke about what direction to take the team and we both decided to start scheduling more teams like the Blue Hose, Gators and Wildcats. Rumor has it one of his assistants may end up at your alma mater.

Did anyone survive the march madness brackets this year? The clueless in our office ended up winning.

Good luck finding a flying job in WA. Let the rest of us know if you do and then you can start a real estate referral service as we all head back up there.

Inigo, send us a picture of you in your new orange apron!
Thanks Snapper for getting this thread going.

Mr. Technology arriving

That's right, Mighty Marlins! The Southern Baptist Italian has been conditionally qualified as 10% smarter than the registration and activation process for these shenanigans (is there a spell-check on this thing?).

Yes, the rumors are true. A baby Lucky has arrived, just in time to learn how to hold my change cup under the overpass. I've been working on a properly distressed and somewhat misspelled cardboard sign to the effect of, "Veteran. Will work for matching 401k. Anything helps. God Bless." Maybe I'll bring out the hound dog to squeeze out the last possible ounce of love from my fellow man.

Speaking of love squeezes -- great to hear from Hal/Lusty/Inigo recently. To all others, I'm glad to be back from the dark side of the moon, and am looking forward to catching up. For those of you heading back to the Mighty Orion, the navs you will be getting ARE my fault. I'm doing what I can with what I've got (story of my life!).

Congrats!

Congratulations go out to CDR "Stitch" Whitten and CDR "Huge" Johnson for being selected for Command. OBTW Stitch finished the Boston Marathon in 3:15 minutes. Rumor has it that his race team sponsor "Red Hook" had a beer truck pacing him for the last half of the race. Greg Clark was at the wheel w/ a stop watch, a cold one, and a sign that said "Frank the Tank".

Re: Congrats!

Picture of the After Party

Very nice.


Side note: I am officially a member of the big orange team (not to be confused with the orange and blue team). I will start off working in a store just down the road in between Boulder and Denver.
We are in the new house in Lafayette, Colorado and all is well. The place is huge and visitors are welcome.

VP-40 Circuit

The Montoya's are hitting the VP-40 circuit.

-We saw the Hess family last week.
-We see the Windom's in Colorado Springs this weekend.
-Should see the Long's in the ATL in June
-Should see the Channel's in Denver late June.

If a man is judged by the quality of his friends then I am doing alright.

Peace

test?

VP-40 Circuit Complete

Had a great month seeing everyone. It is amazing that the last time I saw Brent & Beth or Weylin that they had no children.

Apparently, we are forming a VP-40 reunion at the Home Depot. Skippy and Snoop are in the pipeline. Anyone else have questions, give me a call.
