The Fall Texas Gun Collectors Association Show and Auction in Denton, TX is a little over a month away! October 17-19 at the Embassy Suites. I know some of you already have tables or are planning to attend but some of you might want to come by and take a look. We have more Winchester collectors than when I joined so you’ll see some familiar faces. Hope to see you there!

Elliot’s sometime running buddy JWA is TGCA’s newest Life Member, now we just need to figure out how to smuggle him into Texas so he can enjoy a show!

You have to figure out a way for me to retire earlier so I have the spare time!  I am working on that from my end but it is a slow process….

And, FWIW, I am now an honorary “Texan” Wink

Thanks for all your help Mike!

I hate to break it to you, Jeff, but retiring doesn’t guarantee spare time. I had a nearly four hour conference call yesterday, spent time at the bank and my “office” today balancing the checking account and preparing a treasurer’s report for tomorrow’s non-profit committee meeting. I somehow managed to get in a workout and a good walk before focusing on business this morning. Somewhere in there I spent some time on my “retirement” business. After I slip out to the range for rimfire therapy with Zeb in the morning I have a meeting agenda to prepare for tomorrow evening’s meeting. Tomorrow’s 1PM virtual meeting was cancelled so I may actually get my nap in tomorrow! Should have time to order scooters and update the movers for the TGCA show tomorrow in my “spare time”. Rednecks With Paychecks will start trickling past one of my machines any hour now and they like their refreshments cold, wet and plentiful so will need to monitor it closely from now through Sunday. 

I’m a failure as a retiree. I hope you do better, Jeff!

Jeff and Mike, Most see a retiree as first, retarded.  Might be true as we seem to not know how to say  “NO!”.  Secondly we are seen as fresh meat to take on more and more tasks no one else wants or is capable of anymore as they age out.  You get used just as much as you can stand and you are often lucky to hear the word “thank you”!!  Mike–I will say it.  Thank you for what you do for your area!  As to all your involvement, its all on you.  Jeff, your turn is coming!
