Beavah 205 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yah, didn't want this announcement (what a horrible way to die) to get lost in Yet Another Merlyn Thread: Heck, this is as good a place as any. Looks like my scouting days are about over. I just got offered a job I can't refuse. Wow, I can hardly believe my luck! Anyway, I'll be spending a lot of time in beautiful exotic places and living among many beautiful exotic people...and not killing them. But that pretty much puts the end to my time available for the troop so I guess I'll reduce the BSA membership by one as of next registration. (In case anyone is wondering, it has nothing whatsoever to do with any BSA policy ) This has been in the works for a while now and I was afraid that it really WAS too good to be true. But it happened today. If any of you guys ever make it to the nature island of the Caribbean, drop me a line. I'll stay registered here just in case...and I'll probably lurk for a while as well....kind of like that Dave Steele guy who thinks everyone forgot about him while he watches these threads... but I didn't forget. Hear that, Dave? Ya'll play nice now. Wooohooo! (This message has been edited by packsaddle) Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutfish 16 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 CONGRATS! I guess. Not sure what you do, or whatnot, but if you got offereed a job you'd love to have, then that's cool! Wish you the best while you enjoy Caribbean. Arrrgh, watch out for the pirates! Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Oh no! Don't go, Packsaddle! How could you give up this forum for a dream job in an island paradise? Er... well... um... I guess I answered my own question. Seriously, congratulations and best of luck with everything. You will be missed around here. You are one of the true gentlemen of the forum and your perspective is always a valuable (and sometimes a calming) one. And that has nothing to do with the fact that, on the most controversial issues around here, you and I agree about 99 percent of the time.

scoutingagain 20 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Congratulations Pack. I'm jealous. If I win the lottery keep an eye on the horizon for a Sabre 362. That will be me and the Admiral coming for a visit. SA Link to post Share on other sites
