Off The Radar for a While
« on: September 15, 2009, 12:56:04 AM »
I'm in the Hamptons tonight starting on my 2009 world tour.  For the next 3 1/2 weeks I'll be headed around the world, with stops in Belgium, Holland, India [my first time], China, Japan, and of course Bandon, Oregon.  A couple of those stops are work in planning; a couple more are potential jobs.

Anyway, I don't expect to be checking in all that often over the next three weeks.  I'm sure you'll all be fine without me.  If you have any pressing questions, you can post them here for when I get back.

With all that gloating, don't this belong on the college football thread?  ::)

Safe travels Tom...

Tom,

Have fun in Holland/Belgium, if you will play the classics that were still missing on the resume, I am sure you will. I hope the visit to Benelux falls into the potential job category, but somehow I am afraid it doesn't.

If you need any advice on locally hidden gems, or restaurants etc in the Netherlands, just let me know.

Around the world in three and a half weeks?!?

Wow. Better you than me. That would kill me! Good luck and my advice would be don't try to do too much which sounds like sort of foolish advice if one is really going to try to make in AROUND THE WORLD in 3 1/2 weeks!

It would be a sad state of affairs if we wouldn't be!

If you have any pressing questions. . . .

Are there ever pressing questions on here?

I think that Tom is such a necessary component of this site that we should all chip in a buy a GPS tracking device that can be implanted under Tom's skin so we can log in and always know where he is.  Kinda like NORAD's Santa tracking over the Xmas holidays.

I guess we all need to chip in and buy Tom a cheapie laptop and a wireless NIC card!!!

Anthony,

How will you live without TD for 3.5 weeks?  I feel sorry for any root canal patients you may have in the next couple of weeks due to withdrawl!!   ;D

Speaking of off the radar, where's Huckaby?

I wore him out with walking posts. Besides, after the GRUDGE MATCH, he learned how to win matches from me and has been out collecting a second income on the course.

  Sales for Grudge Match 1 video aren't what I had hoped. Grudge Match 2 at Old Mac would bring great press for the new course.

This is even worse than when GCA was down during the site upgrade. What will us B-boys do during Tom's absence?

Tom, safe travels. Looking forward to hearing of your travels and especially the progress on Old Mac.

Jim,

Can you do a Bollywood version of "I'm on a Doak" then Tom can bust it out for his potential clients when he is in country?

I thought about sending a message like this to the forum before I went on my 2 1/2 week hiatus a couple weeks ago.  Then I realized that the treehouse would do just fine without ASGCA threads and misguided architectural opinion.

Oh oh oh ohoo my little china course
Oh oh oh ohoo my little china course

I could escape this site, at my little china course
Anthony’s a wreck while I’m at my little china course
I hear his heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw the site crashing

He’s a mess while I’m at my little china course...
