    I read the forum every couple of days, but only post occasionally these days. My wife and I came out of retirement and bought a small mountain lodge. I no longer have as much free time to hang around the computer,........probably a good thing. Chopping wood is a lot harder than it looks on TV.

    Coining some this month, waiting on school to start back. I will complete my Masters in Information Systems in the spring, and expect to enter the Ph.D program at UNCG next year. It is my next great adventure. Now, when I say I've got grades, it means this:

    Hi and cool

    My family is from Greensboro. Used to hang out on Tate street at the coffee shop. Was a pleasant place to sit and read a book for a while.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    Closing escrow on a new house in 3 days, starting 2 new business units, and generally having a nice summer - my post count has shrunk dramatically.

    Regular lurker here too - haven't posted in a while, but I did make a nice purchase from a board regular recently, so I'm still active :-)
  • dpooledpoole Posts: 5,940 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I check in regularly.

    I've said everything I know to say (probably more than once), so I don't post as much. But I like to stay in the know with what's going on. And there're a lot of smart people on this Board.

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    I thought I was King of the lurkers.............guess not-
    I guess I am "forum challenged" as it just took 3 tries to log on.
    Have extensive Australian collection, and that is not much of a subject that is
    discussed here. Have ALL of the kookaburras (20 yrs) in silver, gilded, & gold
    and all of the new koalas. Currently working on their new battle series with
    Thermopylae, Cannae, & Hastings in hand with Balaclava & Gettysburg to come.
    Nice history for my new Grandaughter along with all the 09 birth year coins I can
    find. Have the 1st year "dreaming series" in gold & platinum with 2010 & 2011 (15 coin series)
    sets to go. I do have Pretty decent collection of modern ASE's Both MS & PF with
    65% slabbed 70's. It appears my complete 70 collections will never be finished
    unless I hit the lottery................so not much to post about. Outside of that, I am more
    of an invester in silver & gold than a collector and that is not discussed much either.
    (I do make serious money at it) Talk at you all next year............................

    I read a few posts/PMs and occasionally send a PM to members, but rarely post a message without there being a sound reason. Observant board members know why I have this policy, as do folks with our host.

    Stefanie, I will get some pics when I'm a bit further along. Since I'm challenged for space
    I'm modeling a very small narrow gauge gold mining operation that is set in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada's.
