to thank all the members of this community for making it what it is.  I wander around on other boards as my sporadic travels dictate, and this is, BY FAR, the friendliest, most active board I see.

You don't believe me?  Go to Boston....or Atlanta....

Continue to cultivate the discussion that is the envy of TER; the caring for each other; the high spirit; the fun; the frivolity.  As DD always says, this board is what YOU make it.

Keep it the very best.

Thanks to all the great ladies I've been fortunate enough to spend time with; to the guys I've had an opportunity to have a beer wtih.

I literally stumbled into the hobby a few years ago in Orlando, and I have to admit that when you're bitten by this bug, there results an itch you just can't seem to scratch enough.

So this isn't a "retirement", LMAO.  That I KNOW for sure....but it's time for "tiiming belt" to fade into the background.

But I'll watch on occasion, and if I see anyone out of line, I'll call in Sheriff Taylor, LMAO.

Happiest holidays to you all, I earnestly wish you all the very best.

If for some reason you're inclined to PM me, I appreciate the thought, but I won't have access to those any longer.

You will be missed here. Your wit always added to the board here and although some of your post topics fell flat on their ass, like some of mine do too, at least they all added to the fun here. Glad I got to meet you when you were in Orlando once when we had an opportunity to.....ah, never mind. LOL

Take care  TB and drop by from time to time.

Have enjoyed sharing my views Iwth you and reviewing yours. You are a trusted person here. Drop by and say hi once in a while.

I have gone through several "retirements".  Hell, I'm the TER Brett Favre.

Please keep in touch.

Been there, done that.
I think many have.

What matters is that you are doing what's right for you at the right time. Many aren't smart enough to do it....so kudos to you for that.

I'll always consider you a friend....and appreciate your help on several boards. But did you really have to pick two other boards I mod to slam...ya bastard?? LMAO!
You're right though...boards are driven by members and not mods. Well not good mods anyway.

I wish you all the best, and appreciate having met you.
You know how to get a hold of me if you ever need to.

Just sayin'
DD

in most of our lives when a break is helpful to recharge the batteries, step back and take in the big picture, etc.  Just like you can't eat steak every night, you can't enjoy the company of fantastic women like we have here in Florida every night either.

I have done it before and will probably take another break again sometime.  Each time I have come back a better person and hopefully a better romantic.

We will miss you.  

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

With a freekin' sense of humor!  You've mentored me far more than was ever expected. You will be missed.
