    And I don't have to notify Rich. Thanks Rich! Tonight I'm going out at about 11:30, light a small fire in the outdoor fire thing, and have a celebratory shot of Gosling's at exactly midnight. Then I'm going to start writing the words to my new smash hit, "Kiss My ****".

    I sent out a lot of notices that I didn't mention. Reeltrouble1, Starchaser, Keiko, Fongolio, and a few others.

    I guess I'm not worthy of purchasing any of these when they become available. Oh well on to the next seller.

    Chuck

    BTW...congrats on the retirement. Hope you can enjoy it and not do like my old man and go back to work when they start throwing more money at you.

    Good friends I have some things to do tomorrow evening so I won't get to the list until 10:00 or 11:00 PM.:(

    So Ricardo, the door is wide open. Please tell Larry not to inject me with the stuff he's brewing in his laboratory at this very moment.:eek: So good luck to Mike, Rich, Joe, Ted and Ted, Larry, Chuck, Antny and everyone. I'm sure there will be something left for me to groove on!:D

    George,

    Do you think you'll miss the flying or just the personalities and structure of "The Beast"? :eek:

    Carl,

    Looking for a healthy volunteer willing to sacrifice mind and body in pursuit of science. Willing?:D

    Carl, look for a PM.

    Larry, thanks, I won't miss flying.

    Keiko, that would be nice.

    Chuck, have you purchased vinyl from me before? It's not a matter of being "worthy" or unworthy, it's a matter of ME wanting to give MY best customers the first shot at the best vinyl. It happens all the time here in America, although not always as above board as right here. You're more than welcome to shop here after 24 hours. You're also more than welcome to shop anywhere you like if you don't like here.

    Hey, when the sale kicks off, if I "dib" something to someone, it's untouchable by others even after the 24 hours goes by. It's not touchable until the "dibbee" sees it and declines. I'm worried about Ted.

    No George I missed the last sale by a few days. But I have a ton of vinyl I've been buying on this west coast swing work has had me on. In addition I have almost 2000 at home. I can sit tight and see whats left. I was just pulling your chain a little. Besides, most of what I like to listen to right now is a little hard to find and when I do find it most have passed on it. I'll see whats left. But thanks for the response. Gotcha.

    Chuck

    Congrats on the retirement George. So other than doing what ever the hell you fell like doing, how will you occupy yourself? I think retirement sounds good to all of us, but I know we have to keep busy to a certain extent for the fear of aging too quickly. One day I will hopefully be there as well.

    Ted is fine, clean bill of health. He had a house full of nieces when we spoke the other day.

    Thanks Jesse.

    For what it's worth, we were talking about you the other day and Stephie said, "Oh I LOVE him. He's just so chill." So you got that going for you.

    Michael, I don't have a clue. I'm going totally freestyle and winging it. Nothing new. Whatever it is, it won't have anything to do with air travel I can tell you that. My wife, the former Theresa Talamonti, has made some great $tride$ at work, and the reward$ have been quite hand$ome. She is 8 years younger than I, and keeping her working is a key component of my retirement plan

    All the best George, I'll take an unwashed flying suit anyday!
    You could take up riding motor bikes in the dirt and have a go at ceramics!

    Thank you for your service.

    I'm very happy that you are here and well. Your wallet's going to the hospital chico. I saw through that ploy. Don't answer my PM's so that I think you're not going to make the sale. This way I'm obligated to give you a bunch of really good dibs. See you tonight. I dibbed you all the Tiny Tim and Bert Kaemphert.

    Hey Terry, what are YOU gonna do with one of my old flying suits? Are you a 36 short also?

    In junior high school, I "went steady" with Georgette, an Irish cutie. I went to her house almost every day after school. One of the tamer things going on in that place was, every afternoon her mom would get completely shitface. She had a cot in the laundry room. She'd go in there, put on Tiny Tim records, and sing along with them at the top of her lungs. This was in your 1966 time frame, no ****.
