Welcome to the Hide
You retired in CT?
Outside of the soft shell crab that place has no saving graces, probably be the first state to fail if the gov allowed such a thing

Born and raised in Connecticut. Always lived on the shoreline, which is beautiful. Ofcourse as far as the states politics go, it's quite the liberal paradise which can be challenging now and then.
Are you serious. We live less than a mile from Lenny and Joe's. We love that place. Just had a seafood platter the other night.
I have to add that we do plan on traveling and staying in other states during the winter months. Really do need a break from this place. 95 north and south is a moving gridlock.
Are you familiar with the New Haven Sportsmans Club? I joined there a couple years ago. It's got an amazing new indoor range and the outdoor ranges are real nice and very well maintained. Love that place.
Well thank you for the welcome ragsflh.
Wonder if the windsock cafe is still there
I’m jealous.
I was born and raised in CT too up in Waterford and lived and worked in Groton until retirement but the state is not what it used to be. Well worth leaving for taxes and gun laws. Not to mention 95. When driving up to visit usually no traffic until we go over the CT border and then a mess.
Interesting, I was born and raised in Niantic. Worked for the state for 31 years. Sold my house in Niantic and downsized to a more affordable place in Clinton. Still live on the water though. Can't seem to get away from the ocean
. Actually just back from the beach. We will be probably be spending lots of upcoming winters down south somewhere. Also want to travel and spend some time out west, probably New Mexico.
Where are you located and do you like it?
welcome from delaware
Why thank you for the warm welcome acudaowner. Glad to be here for sure.
Never heard of it Turbo Trout. Where was it located? We've only been here in Clinton for 3 years.
BGE (Bridgeport) airport
Depending on your age we might know some of the same people if you were a East Lyme Viking. Knew a few people from there and a few who went to St Bernards.Interesting, I was born and raised in Niantic. Worked for the state for 31 years.

Down in NC. Not near the shore but it's not far. Actually was just down at Holden Beach for a few days this week. Lots of NC/SC shore adjacent which will be chapper than CT. Makes that retirement money go farther but if you worked for the state you have a pretty good one. My mother was an assistant director in the state school system and has a great retirement.
You know I believe my dad used to go there back in the day. Me I never made down to that end of the state that often.
That's sure a possibility. I would have graduated with the class of 76. I didn't go that route though and wound up in the Army. Ended up with a degree from Thee Rivers Committee College later on.
You are a few years older than I am so no overlap there. Still hung on the same turf though. LOL
Hey Dude, I’m over in killingworth. Welcome to the hide!
Ok lordship gotcha. Heck yes the crabs are good here in Connecticut. Was down at the Connecticut River yesterday. Lots of folks blue crabbing down there.Was based out of BGE for a bit, lived in lordship, like I said crabs were good
Thanks for the welcome Butterburger. Just picked up a Bergara B14 Trainer. This seems like the perfect forum to get the answers to all my questions.
