Sunday Morning

Have airplane ticket will travel! For the 2nd time this school year I'm making a trip to the Northeast to pick up a collection.  Since it's easy for my wife to drop me off at the Charlotte airport and tickets are relatively cheap for that route this all works out.  I pick up the rental van and the collection then should be headed back south in the evening.  I gotta say is there any better "business trip" than picking up a Boy Scout collection?

Another thing that will happen Tuesday is I'll be announcing in the Hot Finds the 2nd part of my website project updates.  In an earlier video I explained how I reworked www.Santeeswapper.com to become my primary landing page for everything I've got going on.  Phase 2 involves actually killing off one of my sites so the wake will be Tuesday morning .
Order of the Arrow Auctions Looking Good
This week I started back on a project that's been dormant for 4 months.  It's been 7 years since I published my Santee Lodge patch guide and it's way overdue for an update.  This time I'm starting from scratch with a new layout and features that I'm incorporating after seeing the other excellent guides published in my area.  This is a snapshot page I did.  My goal is to have it finished before the Dixie Fellowship at the end of the month.  That's ambitious but we will see.
Auctions Ending Soon With Bids on eBay
It's a small world after all.  Monday night on the way back from dropping the kids off at my folks I'm picking up a small collection in Columbia, SC.  Turns out this guy is an Air Force brat and his family lived for a time in the same neighborhood that I grew up in near Shaw AFB in Sumter, SC.  He's of the baby boomer generation so we missed each other by 20 years but his brother did attend the same high school I graduated from.   
Get A Personalized Embroidered Product
Before the recent TOR I ordered some shirts from Queensboro so I could have my logo embroidered and look sharp.  I found this company to be very easy to work with and when they sent me a $20 coupon code to share with friends I jumped on the chance to promote them.

If you haven't visited my Facebook Album folders in a while I invite you to give them a try.  This simple strategy has albums of patches all priced the same.  You just pick out what you want and I'll pull the order and send you an invoice.
Friday was the first day of Spring Break and the kids really wanted to use our season pass to Carowinds to kick the week off right.  So even though it was windy we put on jackets and did the amusement park.  Patrick has grown a few inches since last year and he can now ride most of the roller coasters including some that I went on as a kid.  I was doing really well until we did the "Flying Cobra" and that one about did me in.  We are going back next Friday and Sophia is taking a friend which seems to always work out better with girls.        

Your brother in the cloth,
