Yes we will be at New Point this summer I'm sure. Might even make it out there this weekend but I'll have my Striper out. . We will definitely have to make sure we end up there on the same day at some point. We make a run up to Yorktown usually a couple times a summer. Take the kiddos to B&J's for icecream.

I know abouts where that is. We will definitely have to check it out. But yea definitely got to get through this rain. I was looking through some of your pics and seen your Wagoneer. Did or do you work some where in Newport News? I swear I used to see that truck down there a lot.

Yep, I run a flooring company in Newport News. My showroom and warehouse are in Oyster Point right across from UPS.

I used to daily drive it until a couple years ago. Now I drive it 1 - 2 days a week.

Now I know where I've seen it. Tidewater Floors right? I was Canaday Ind.'s foreman for 7 years. Now I'm back on the middle penninsula subbing.

No kidding?!! Yep, Tidewater Floors. We were bought by Richmond Decorating 4 years ago when I took over. Ok, yeah, I know Dave C. His brother Kirk still does some work for me. I haven't seen Todd C in years.

Small world!! I see you live in Cobbs Creek. I have a buddy near Hallieford, my brother lives in Port Haywood

Yea I think Todd got out the flooring biz a while back. He was having a lot of back problems. I still see Kirk around Gloucester every once in a while. I loved working for Dave I just wanted to move on to something with more of a future. Plus I was tired of getting blamed for all the dumb **** the guys I supervised did but yet when I tried to correct them I was the *******. I'm subbing for a store now that's been around for 40 years and the plan is for me to buy it when the owner retires and I'll just let everyone else go do the hard stuff.

We lived in Newport News for a while when I was a toddler... My sisters were born there... We moved to Kansas for me to start school....

Small world indeed.
