    Jim, how do you find time to work in your hot ass work shop when you spend so much time posting in the forums.  ?? :-))

    Well it helps that I do more in one day than most people do in a week, for starters. That affords me the luxury of doing as I please during a typical day, usually 12-14 hours, the last 1-2 spent actually playing golf. How hard is it to take a 10 minute break, take a look at what's going on and post a few comments? What do you do on your breaks during your day? I happen to hang out here. It's the next best thing to playing for me because I can't play during the day for the interruptions, not to mention the workload.

    I personally don't consider 9000+ posts any kind of badge of honor. It's almost embarrassing (much like a thread with your name on it.) This is the only forum I have ever paid attention to. It's pretty sad, I suppose, when  you get right down to it, but it's taken 3+ years and a lot of enthusiasm for this game and the people around it. This entire affair is a great mental exercise, much like nailing the Sunday crossword in pen. A sharp mind offsets a lot of other ills and I have a very sharp one, not to mention a talent or three with a constitution that would wear out most that tried to keep up with me. 

    LOL.  60 going on 20.  :-)

    Yep I get it Jim.  76 myself and  moving on to to 77.  Been self employed since 74 when I quit my job with Uncle Sam and moved to Hi. Been in the antique and junk business ever since.Lived all over the southern part of the country from San Diego to St Mary's county in Maryland. I'm a lucky man, able to make a fair living at what I do. People say why don't you slow down take it easy, don't work so hard.  I say to them what the hell would I do. Sit on the couch and watch baseball all day. I'd be dead with in the year+ bored silly.

    Take care Jim and hit em straight. Lets play a match sometime.

    Jealous here.  I'd like to think of what I could do in 16 more years, God willing.  ;-)

    YJ, I'll never forget the post you made a while back. about Renniw and Legend in the same sentence. Priceless, you are a hoot man, have had some great times on the forums with you. I hit the 60 myself last month, hope to read your 20,000 post. That means we are both still kicking. Keep em coming my friend.

    No need to be embarrassed Jimbo, you should be proud. I know you've helped me out and countless others...
