Default Changes happen

Ginny and I have decided to relocate the New Hampshire. We have purchased a house in the small community of Gilford. NH.

Our house is in the process of being put on the market.

Yes, the Cobra will be making the journey.

We are discussing flying back for the Anniversary party.

I am retiring at the end of August.

Mikiec

I will miss everyone of you and will revel in your runs and banter.

I retired almost a year ago after the flooding in Colorado. Our house had no damage but the job situation got really AFU so I just threw my badge on my a**hole new boss's desk and told him where to put it. The flood happened the next day. We were looking at houses in Vegas that week while I was on the vacation the a**hole screwed up and pulled the trigger on a place in February and haven't looked back. Built a pool and are pretty much here now full time.

Good luck on your new journey Mike.
I wish you and Ginny the very best.
Sorry to see you go.
I will miss your crazy burn outs.

Best of luck to both of you. I hope you enjoy your new life back there. I have to wonder what Diana and Don will do without you. I know you will be missed..

WELL SHEEEEEET!

Certainly going to miss the both of you. Glad to hear that you're finally retiring, but from what Linda Brooks always said, you didn't hurt yourself any too much at work anyway. I've been retired over 7 years and its the best job I ever had! Don't go strokin' out or having a coronary shoveling snow. Does NH allow studded snow tires? Good luck trying to find some to fit the old hi yo Silver.

Mikie,
You've been the face of the club ever since I joined in '08. It won't be the same without you. Not that we'll miss you, it'll just be different. And we will talk about you. Ginney will definitely be missed !

Mikie
I hope your not moving just because I'm back and with even more HP.
I already posted I'm not doing anymore burn outs.
Even in NH you need to be carful where you park.

Can't believe it took us this long to run you off!

Good luck to both of you, you'll be missed.

change does happen and I wish you all the best - but I would be remise if I did not thank you - I have always thought of the AZ Cobra as the very best and one of the things we missed when we left AZ years ago and one of the relationships we look to rekindle when we moved back - both you and Ginny set the tone and herded the cats into the "club" it is - and while you will be missed you will never be forgotten

Default You will be missed

Mike and Ginny, you will be missed. We have been friends since 2001 when you flagged me down in your Ford Ranger to tell me about your plans for a Cobra Club. Our first meeting on the first Saturday of December, 2001 at Gordon’s shop in Tempe where we came up with the name Arizona Cobras. You have always volunteered to lead and try new things, new destinations, new trips. We owe you for our fun. I owe you for my fun. I would follow you anywhere without snow. You are loved. You will be missed pardner. You may find a life of boredom but, that’s is OK too. You’ll love lawn maintenance and shoveling the driveway. You should be able to take your cobra out 2, maybe 3 times a year.
Moving is no fun and not cheap. If I can help don’t hesitate to hesitate. Stay on face book so I can keep up with your life. I see there are regular gun shows in Concord, Lebanon and Rochester. Watch the gun laws there. No reciprocity, open carry, no guns in cars without permit.
Hope to see you at a few more Tuesday and Saturdays.
AZ Bob

WOW! That's a surprise! Thank you for answering the never ending questions I had in my pursuit of my first Cobra. ( I still have questions) Arizona Cobras won't be the same without the two of you.

Good luck to you both, hope to see you before you depart.

Thanks everyone.

I can honestly say I will miss you guys and gals immensely. Ginny and I are planning on coming back for the Christmas party and Rte 66. Diana has already said she will be the go to gal on Rte 66.

More to come as the departure time gets closer.
