Default Hello New to the area---Hawthorne CA

Well moved here 1.5 years ago, from Denver. Had to relocate after being layed off from United Airlines with 20 years. Took a job with Qantas Airways, then spending a year or so down under for training its time to relax and get back to playing with the cars.

Looking to meeting the locals............
