Done With Winters, Here Come Hot Summers
« on: March 04, 2010, 10:58:33 PM »

Ok, you have heard me complain about winter for the last time.  Really.
Even though we haven't ridden since November we will not complain any more.

Why you ask….. The SklyWags are moving to Phoenix.  I have been transferred to our Corporate Headquarters in Chandler.  We are really looking forward to the move, no more snow.  Yes we know it gets hot but that's why we will have a pool.  So the house hunt starts, we will just lease a home for now and there are plenty of great homes for rent there.  The plan is for me to move everything to Phoenix the middle of April.  Trudy will stay here and continue to work until she finds a job in the Phoenix Area.  We will probably live in the Chandler area for now.

This is a bittersweet move, we just got hooked up with the NorCal CVO Group last summer, now JC has planned some really great rides starting the end of March & we will be gone.  We will really miss this group, what a great group of people!!  However now they will have a reason to come visit in AZ, a  place to stay with a pool.  So now we are really looking forward to meeting the AZ. CVO folks.  A new beginning!

So speak up Phoenix Area CVO folks, what do you have planned in rides for this summer.  We (I) will be there soon.  Trudy will be there often for weekend visits.

Also if anyone has any job connections, Trudy is in Operations, Planning, Purchasing, Production, Operations Analyst, so if you know of anything let us know & we will get you her resume.

See you on the warm side soon!  I will be in Chandler all next week.

Knowing you two and that Nor. Cal. chapter we can come up with a new ride............SNOWBIRD GTG!
 Only 4 years in the new place must be hard, but we do what we do to feed the family.

We're going to miss you and Trudy.  We'll get down there when we can.  For sure about second week of Oct.

I'll never forget waking up at your home and seeing all the rabbits scurrying across the snow to go eat on your back patio.  I don't think you'll be seeing that in Phoenix.....if you do, they'll be packin canteens.  Down there it's probably more apt to be rattlesnakes.  ;D

Best of luck to you and Trudy. Their are a lot worse places than Az. Perhaps Reno is one at least in the winter. We'll miss you here in Nor Cal. We'll be in Az after the GTC in June. If we have time we'll look you up. Keep us posted on your move progress. Good luck getting a job Trudy. The housing prices are really good now in AZ, perhaps you can find a bargain.

Congratulations Bill  :2vrolijk_21: I dont complain about winters at all either, as a matter of fact, its been one of the best winters here in Florida ever. Bikes are always happy in the cool weather and sad in the heat.
