I suck

There's stuff I should have mailed out long ago. There are pictures and descriptions and lists of things I've promised to some of you.

If you're one of the people waiting for me, please nudge me again and accept my apology!

Thanks.

Tom

And you got a funny mustache, too but I'd still buy you a beer and let you make fun of my beard.

Guilty, but in my defense it's because I was trying to get a better part than the one I offered in trade because the original seemed sub standard after getiing it cleaned up.

I still suck because it took so long.

Just to rub salt in the wounds, I placed an order with Niagara Tuesday night west coast time, so essentially a Wednesday order and it shipped out yesterday.

Gee, thanks.

I've turned over a new leaf. When I have to send something in the mail, I do it quickly. I had one lapse recently, but it wasn't that bad.

I think I promised someone from Mackinac Island a list of LPs that I want to get rid of. Oh well, I'm retiring in in July, so I'll get to it then (better than honey-dos).

My sister retired in December and immediately wondered how she ever found the time to go to work. Be careful lest this also happen to you.
