I fellow Moomba brothers and sisters, I kind of feel like the friend who gets a new girlfriend and then disappears and doesn't hang out lol.

If your connected with me on Fb then you know the story with the big move.

I might have posted a couple of these photos over the summer so sorry if they are duplicates.

Since the move to Atlanta a lot has gone on.
I was able to spend almost the entire summer < for an OR transfer > on the lake lol. July 7th to Sept 19th when I decided to return to the working world LOL. To say it was anything but magical would be a lie, every day at 3pm I would grab the mini cooler and the dogs and goto the dock, swim, play with the dogs, and just enjoy Atlanta's HOT summers.

Sometimes I would go out on the boat alone but mostly on the dock until Claudia came home and we would go surfing in the evening.

I now work with a company called Habasit, we are a conveyor, transmission and drive belt company. I am a Lead Installer, basically I travel all over the US and join our big belts. Mostly its in the printing business, such as digital printers, clothing printing machines and also Corrugated boxing plants.

Mostly I travel to the job site, spend about 4-6 hours joining the belt then travel home. Its not anything like I thought I would ever do but its actually a lot of fun, I get to travel a lot, paid really well and when in town I'm off at 330 so lots of time for the lake still lol.

The only really bad thing to happen was when my Vette was totaled. But I am ok with it now and moving on to a nicer better one in the future.

Ohh yea, I hit my goal of losing 100lbs since summer of 15, Claudia has lost 80 and we are keeping with the new lifestyle and plan to lose a lot more.

On to the pictures.

That's awesome that y'all lost son much weight, good to be healthy and I bet it will help with the surfing too!

Now what happened to the vette? I must have missed that story. And that job sounds pretty interested, if you find yourself in the Houston area let me know and can grab food and some brews.

So glad to hear you guys are doing great. Be sure to let me know if you get anywhere near Tallahassee and we'll get together. We need to plan something for this summer as well. Time to do a big Moomba meetup somewhere. Maybe a long weekend NOT on a holiday week.

Would love to do a weekend like we did at Lake Martin, get Claudia up there, maybe even bring the Mojo.

Or some other get together I know she would love to meet y'all.
