I can not believe it. One year old today. 311 stories. Who would have guessed there would be that much to talk about on a daily basis. Not me for sure. What a year, great shows, tons of new pals, and a deeper understanding of a great passion. I can not thank thank all of you enough for commenting and making my mornings that much more enjoyable. Many of asked how do I do it? Never why, oddly enough. How? I just do, I sit in front of the computer and dream it up. Hint, on the days that I am talking about an eBay special, I’ve got nuth’n. But those come fare less these days thanks to all of you. There is now a nice one week back log of fun stuff to talk about and hopefully make your mornings a little more fun. I am still trying to make the video thing work. Funny, my job is all about TV commercials and yet for this its tough. Maybe I will get my 16 year old son to figure it out. Here are some fun statistics for your pleasure.

OK this is getting boring.. Sorry.. But here it is, our first Annual Report. Thanks for being a part of it all. Matt
Congrats on the anniversary. Thanks for all the light-hearted humor and interesting topics. Keep it coming!
Congratulations, Matt! I look forward to reading your posts every morning. Keep up the great work, even if it is just an Ebay listing for something I didn’t even know I needed to have!
Keep up the good work! I “stop in” almost every day and enjoy your take on Antique and Classic Boating.
Matt,
Great work, as you know I am one of the folks that can’t understand how you find time for this, of course it just took me ten mins. to sign in, soooo “well dang!”.
Going to event at D-ville museum this sat.

Heard from Joe Martel of late?
Thanks to you all and all the private emails. And yes even the one from my 6th grade english teacher! The scary thing is that I supervise writers for a living. Oh dear. The thing is, I grew up in europe and my parents thought that it was OK to go toy different schools. What a mess. I can’t spell worth a lick. I don’t know the difference between there, and thier. Is it i before e? How many sssss in Mississisisisppi? But that is the the point of this. I don’t care on this. Its all from the heart and fast. If I edited I would not do it. Everything else in my life has to be perfect and all polished up for the masses. So there is a freedom in this for me. So….. ummmm..mmm..
