I'm KayOhio. I live in Wayne County in a rural area in Amish country. I have a bunch of grandkids, some of which live in Colorado and some in California, and the rest live with my daughter and son-in-law and me here in Ohio. I've been retired for 8 years.

A brief bio: 70 years old. Served 4 years in the U.S. Navy from 67-70. One year in DaNang and last 2 years on the USS Raleigh, LPD-1 out of Little Creek, VA. Graduated from Southern Illinois University with a BS in’75. Retired from Electro-Motive Div of GM since 2002. While there I was an accountant. Born and raised in Chicago then moved to the western suburbs, each move taking me further from the city. Currently living in Leesburg, Florida and think it’s the best move we ever made. We live on a golf course where I play golf numerous times each week – year round! Couldn’t do that back in the Chicago area. I’ve been a GasBuddy member since Aug, 2001. So happy to see a new place where we could exchange messages. Hey John! When I was a biker, I used to love going to Leesburg Bikefest! I am no longer riding though. I was hit by a car, while riding my Cross Country Tour home from work on New Year's Eve morning, 2016. I am still recovering and lucky to be alive. That is why I now own a convertible! LOL Watch out for the gators down there! They can get big!

I hope I am figuring this out. Keeping my same GB name so some here may recognize me. If this works I may get bolder and figure out how to create a profile. Hello. Sorry about that l wanted to welcome you and posted a blank. Still learning. Welcome and do go ahead with your stated creation it is easy.

I have been one of those lurkers (at least in this thread). Have been meaning to post in here since the day I joined, but for one reason or another kept going to another thread instead. My bad! LOL!
As you can tell by the number of posts under my avatar, I have actually been quite busy on this site so far. I am really enjoying this site. It's faster than the site that shall not be mentioned.

I logged onto the forum this morning and saw all the discussion topics had been moved. I don't know where the ones I was monitoring are now. Looks like this forum needs some kind of guidance!

Almtnman......Towards the upper right hand side of the main page, you should see a button that says "Participated" Its new. Click on that button and you will see all the topics you have monitored.
