I should have taken a picture! On a whim I asked my daughter if she would come with us to Cub Scouts and be a Den Chief for one of the girl dens. We had talked about this off and on a few times but she was never committed. But when a storm cancelled her field hockey practice afterschool she...Read More

  Tomorrow we fire up our first night of the program year for the Bears of Den 9. Right now we have nine Cub Scouts but I will see Monday if some of those fall off or hopefully we add a few new fresh faces. Our pack will also start up some female Cub Scout dens so it's the beginning...Read More

This week feels like I finally got settled in and started cranking out new listings for auction. Right now I've got 100+ brand new auctions up and running. Some of these are items I've been sitting on for most of the year and just now getting time to launch.   Perhaps the coolest things I am listing now are felt...Read More

I've been moving some of my 2018 NOAC issues since starting up a 25% off sale. I found some more patches that never got listed from the event and I'll try and get those up this week too before all the interest in these has waned.   It turns out my niece is going to become my newest "employee" next...Read More

  Sometimes when you are sitting on a porch drinking that first cup of coffee in the morning do you ever think up patch projects where you can kinda see in your minds eye what the finished product looks like? I had that moment this morning and after the dust settles from moving I'm going to start working on it....Read More

  I started my work day just before 6 AM and am rolling through a productive Friday leading into the holiday weekend. Earlier I recorded a video on 5 reasons why Facebook has been good the last couple of weeks. I'll share some of those in today's newsletter.   I need to clean off my sorting table so it's time...Read More

I'm sure some of the readers can sympathize with my current situation. I'm short on sleep and suffering with a sore knee after spending all day yesterday moving and "camping" out in the new house with no furniture. I think I'm getting old!   This opening block of the newsletter has some really cool vintage pieces up for auction. As...Read More

It took a while for me to jump through the hoops with eBay but I finally have my 15% off sale running on my 2018 NOAC items. Apparently they don't like you running "sales" on relatively new listings so I had to wait them out until I could offer everyone a discount.   I think I may have found a...Read More

  I did indeed get a neat collection this week albeit tiny that had some cool pieces from a Scout that attended the 1959 WSJ held in the Philippines. He traveled the world on a tour with a bunch of Scouts after the event which must have been an unbelievably formative event for a teenager.   Every collection I get...Read More

  Sometimes you have to step away from the hustle and take care of a family obligation. I've been out of action for a couple of days taking my mom to get a procedure done. She needed a chauffeur and her youngest son was a good candidate. I'm happy to report she got good results and now I'm back in...Read More

  If you have ever moved as an adult then you know what the last 24 hours have been like at my house. I guess one sign of things is I went to deliver a load to the Goodwill truck parked near my neighborhood and the nice lady said Oh no I don't have room for all that you'll have...Read More

  Yesterday I finally opened two small collections that I purchased during July when I was busy transitioning from Camp Director to civilian. I recorded the unboxing and have already sold some of the key pieces to collectors on Facebook. I love recycling collections back into the hobby.   One thing I try to do from every collection is keep...Read More

  After trying to figure out eBay's system I eventually gave up and just did the easiest version of running a sale. I manually dropped the prices on 330 NOAC Issues in my store. Right now there are almost 3,000 items running at auction with the words "2018 NOAC" in the title.   If you read the Hot Finds then...Read More

  So far this week I've logged two days in my warehouse and am starting to get caught up. I was able to ship over 50 eBay orders Wednesday and yesterday I got caught up on Best Hobby Pages. Today the agenda is consignor reports and knocking out some more shipping. No playing with patches today!   I learned some...Read More
