Well...Guys
Not Beer related at all but I wanted to post this somewhere on the site since we are all family here.
I'm sure most of you that know me well have realized that I have not been as active as I used to be. I promise that I still have the same passion for collecting since we all know that can not go away but we are making some big life changes in the next 2 years. Possibly stopping by many shows that I have never been to??
Some of you may have seen this in another post but will post again and we have decided to sell the real estate in CT. and GET OUT!!!!! ASAP
We sold the motor home and tow vehicle at the end of 2014 to upgrade to this and plan to travel the country for a few years before we make a new home in Myrtle Beach unless we find a better place. You can blame Seamonkey for talking me into that!
Anyhow, I will still be a collector and around but on a continuous vacation with little to no room to display until we build a new home. We want to enjoy life in a slower pace. Email and # will stay the same so you can still find me.

Re: Well...Guys
Just stay away from Vegas! (quote below from Lost In America - a movie about exactly what you're about to do!)
Albert Brooks: Maybe I didn’t explain the nest egg to you. If you had understood … You know it’s a very sacred thing, the nest egg, and if you had understood the Nest Egg Principle, as we will now call it in the first of many lectures that you will get, because if we are ever to acquire another nest egg, we both have to understand what it means. The nest egg is a protector, like a god, and we sit under the nest egg and we are protected by it. Without it, no protection. Want me to go on? It pours rain. Hey! The rain hits the egg and pours off the side. Without the egg? Wet. It’s over. But you didn’t understand it and that’s why we’re where we are.
Julie Haggerty: I understood the nest egg …
Albert Brooks: Please do me a favor. Don’t use the word. You may not use that word. It is off-limits to you. Only those in this house that understand the nest egg may use it. And don’t use any part of it either. Don’t use “nest.” Don’t use “egg.” You’re out in the forest, you can point - the bird lives in a round stick. And … and … you have things over easy with toast.

Re: Well...Guys
Small update if anyone is interested.
The week before Spring Thaw I was in the Cherry Grove SC.area looking at houses with no luck yet but this deeded RV lot came up for sale. Right place at the right time for an incredible lot, so called the wife to get her OK (it was a bit more then my normal can this time) and we now own it. Here is the view from about 500' in front of the RV.
Best part of this trip was the show was on my way home and I drank a few to many BEERS again.!!!!!

Re: Well...Guys
Those little creeks in the marsh can be be very confusing, especially when you can't see above the grass. Make sure and leave some bread crumbs so you can find your way home.
I have a conference in Savannah in October. Going to try and sneak up to Charleston afterward for a little low country fishing. I have a guide who is a true fish whisperer that I fish with.
