Been gone a while...but I'm back!

Yo fellas! Haven't been around in some time. A year ago I was ready to redo my top and do all kinds of things. Then I got caught up in life. Nothing tragic. Just torn in different directions. I did buy an offshore boat and have been spending a lot of time fishing here in San Diego. Plus honey do's around the house.

I plan on tearing into my blazer very soon. In fact touch up paint and a bimini is tops on the list.

I promise to be better!

Re: Been gone a while...but I'm back!

Welcome back, I hope you brought some better weather for us too. Hopefully it will warm up a bit since it has been weird cold for this time of year. Where abouts are you in SD? I'm in south bay.

Re: Been gone a while...but I'm back!

Welcome back! I was wondering what happened to ya. Thanks to your Warriors for bouncing Dallas out of the playoffs...even though I'm pretty sure we would have handled them anyways.

Welcome back! I glad to hear the top is off. No better way to ride in a Blazer in SD. I lived in Mira Mesa once opon a time.

No joke about the June gloom, I was hoping to get out with the family today but it was a pretty s----- day, all gray and chilly.When it warms up we should try to get a few of us together at some local burger joint. I think that would be cool, I don't see too many 1st gen blazers around here. I think I've seen about 7 of us on here from San Diego.

Re: Been gone a while...but I'm back!

There are not many SD blazer at all. Most I see are not that great. Granted, not all of ours were that great at one time. But I see no true following around here. I would love to meet up with a few 1st gen guys and have a burger (or two).

My offshore boat is 40ft. I can't tow that. But I still have a nice 17ft bass boat that matches the Blazer

Go Warriors (next season). Yeah, we served up Dallas pretty good. I was at all the home games this post season.
