Yes it's true. I'm going to have to go on a long sabbatical from CRH. I am thining literally about 6 years. the things that are takig my time should revert back to much less in about tht timing, but for now? LIfe is just too busy. Tonight I finished my last boxes of pennies, and actually took the Ryedale down and put it in the garage. I haven't done halves in a few months. Nickels were my big thing this year, and I did great on them for a while Hit a real hot streak of 5 - 8 war and/or buffalos PER BOX for about 7 boxes. Someone dumped a collection is all I can think.
But now it is time. I need to do some other things. I need to work on the rentals I keep buying. I've never held it as a secret that I'm buying rentals for investment purposes. They are becoming more labor intense as I get more of them. I need to work on my marriage (My wife is tired of me saying I am going back into my home office to work coins when I am FINALLY done with work for the day - or night.) I need to work on being a father. My son is now 2 1/2, and wants more of my time finally. he deserves it. Add all these together, and CRH needs to step back from my life.
So I say good bye to my friends here on the board. I'll still read the board and from time to time answer questions. But I won't be posting my own finds, or what I've been finding and when you are not able to do it it is not near as much fun to read about it. Like today. While dumping my last twelve boxes of pennies, I found another 1943 steel penny on the magnet at the coin counter. It was attached there waiting for me to grab it. I'll miss that.
But life is more important than a hobby. And this one is ADDICTIVE. :-) In a positive way of course. BUt my obligations are growing rapidly, and I need to cut something back. It's been great and I think of you guys like an extended family. Pete - I've got ONE 2011D dime for you, and that's all guy. But I'll get that out to you shortly. By the end of this week.
"Be well" is what I have to say to all my CRH friends out there. I shall strive to do the same. :-)
