  With luck later today, I'll get to spend some time in the warehouse. We have about got our Thanksgiving preparations done here and I have a couple of zooms later tonight.

Somehow in the span of an hour yesterday I met three different families on my picking trip to VA.

  I saw evidence this weekend at a well-attended camporee that confirmed a theory that I've had for a long time. National events like NOAC and Jamboree put so much energy into our hobby. I don't mean with a bunch of patch sets to list on eBay. This weekend I saw lots of younger kids (and some parents) really interested...Read More

Apparently my wife doesn't appreciate all the yelling (and occasional cursing) I do when I am watching my Gamecocks play. But this also gave me a chance to kinda plan out my week and I'm excited to get back...Read More

I spent some time updating the TOR calendar on my website so I can help drum up interest in all the shows scheduled for the hobby.
