I sure miss his posts. Last time I saw something from Tony, it included a picture of him on a John Deere tractor in his "back 40" - which actually was probably his "front 1 or 2" I think.
The notion of retirement -- and leaving the forum -- frightens me just a tad. What would one do with one's time????? Um -- I think I would find things to fill it up.

I don't have a beard
OK, Bill I'm posting to prove that I'm alive and well. Guys thanks for wondering about me. When I retired and moved to Deep Run, NC I found some new interest. I have 8 acres of land that I take care of. I have a John Deere 950 diesel tractor with a bush hog, finish mower, box blade and disc plow. I belong to a couple of tractor forums, I belong to a Facebook group, I have taught myself to play acoustic guitar. I belong to a great guitar forum called Chordie. I have built a couple of Cigar Box guitars. I belong to a cigar box guitar forum. I also play the Dulcimer. I belong to two dulcimer forums. I have started using Ubuntu Liinux as my OS for my computers. I belong to a Linux forum.
As you can see a lot has happened in my life since I no longer work 60+ hours a week. I still wet shave DAILY. I have been using the Gillette 1947 Super Speed almost exclusively. I own 3 1947's now. They are the ones without the notch. I was born in 1947 so I have a passion for everything that is as old as I am. I pulled one of my old tricks and bought a NEW as in BRAND NEW 1947 SS on Ebay. Some of you may have been bidding on it. I bid $1000 to gurantee that I would win the auction. I paid less than $100 for it. I still use Knize and Floris 89 when the occassion calls for them. I don't miss Charlotte at all. I love the REDNECK Deep Run life.
I will continue to drop in and check out SMF from time to time.
Bill, thanks for the invite. Keep the jokes and emails coming.

In other words it a group of old farts like ME who remember the Good Ol Days. I visit Facebook at least once a day.
