Sorry I been so absent here

Post by Ranger Ron »

I am just about to wrap up the sale of my business and retire. (Be a consultant to them for a year). I had no idea how much time, energy and brain power this would take. Just haven't had anything left for much else. Hope to have it completed by September 1, 2012. Then maybe I will have a little more time to get involved here again.

Just received my season tickets and Champion Club passes. Anxious to get things going again. You need to get back this way so you can attend a game.

Hey, thanks so much. I haven't gotten any new coins lately. Just don't see too many "Real" Ranger coins out there for sale. Just the junk that is put out. Trying to decide what to do with all of them when I no longer have my office where they are now.

Hell ofa note -- since I retired, my coin rack is overflowing.

Yes Uncle Stead, I thought about you too. I was envious of where you were. Sure wish I was closer or richer, one of the two. :evil:

Congrats on selling the business. That shit is harder than most people think. Did you get the value out of it that you wanted?

I bought a business 2 years ago and am already looking towards the day I can cash out.

Got what I was asking now. However, if I would have sold 5 years ago, I would have gotten more for it. I will be fine however.

Congrats Ron, a retirement well earned.

I'm looking for a new team, any chance I can be an honorary Husker ?
