Well fellas, I've moved from Key West.
Last month, my sweeheart was offered a position with the University of Tampa that tripled her salary. Needless to say, it was an offer she gladly accepted and the only question was how quickly we could shut down our lives in Key West. The move took a huge effort from ourselves and our friends, but we are very happy to be in Tampa.
Now for the Bronco related aspect of the thread.....
Since I won't be starting my new job until March 1st, I've had some time to pull together some photos of my current project. I have also included a description of the current stats. The only thig left is to install a new Centech harness and this one will be ready for it's new owner.
