Well, it's been a journey over calm waters and rough seas. I couldn't have done it without @abar paddling the whole time, @carynorton taking photos of the madness, and @kbone baking biscuits (and @ozzynelson reeling in the anchor). But here we are at the end of a new beginning. This was my first and last Whiskerino. Thanks @mackle for your eccentricity. Thank everyone else for creating the fabric of this community. I look forward to seeing some of you in the future as I continue through my life journey and venture out to explore the world around me. Bon Voyage!

abar says:: epic as fuck!

Ozzy Nelson says:: Man, this is sooooooo great.
I was wondering why I hadn't seen this yet. I knew it would be great!

The gas is back on and we had 3 couples look at the house and 2 more tomorrow. You'll left some luck there thanks.

mackle says:: agreed with @abar - totally epic.

I had a serious blast at the Throwdown hanging with you guys and if @abar and @carynorton weren't already enough of an incentive I'm definitely penciling in Birmingham on my list of quick trips to make soon. I'm thinking a drive down on some Friday night could provide a serious blast.

I've got your email but feel free to hit me up on the Intertubes anytime.. would love to continue this friendship beyond beard growing.
