Yep, I know.

I was one of the people that said, "Ok. So, you're retiring? ( or practicing retiring like Finn does. ROFL.) What's the big deal? You think you gotta make some big announcement like your leaving is some big deal in the great scheme of things? Get over yourself, Mr. Man."

But, some of y'all know more about my medical history than others and you're good people and I wouldn't want to worry you if you were to give my sorry ass a second thought.

I'm cuttin it way back, kids. Takin' a breather. Dare I say callin it quits. Movin' on. I have my hands in sooo many cookie jars I need some more hands.

Gotta love life. My little school of Fish is gettin bigger and needs more dad time. The wife gradiated frum Kollidge. Now it's my tern. See? I need the skooling.

I've lost over 270lbs. I'm a (by world standards) normal looking person now and can get around like a normal (what's that?) 33 year old man.

It's time to start working on the house and make it a home. Painting, yard work, home renovation... Not a lot of time for sim racing.

I'm not gonna disappear. Y'all aren't that lucky. You'll never completely get rid of me. I have my favorite series and tracks. If I see something that sparks my fancy I may enter to wreck you. I don't think I ever got a chance to ruin one of Welker's races. Definitely one of those things you have to do before you croak. His righteously indignant rants are classics. I'm just bustin yer balls, Kent, calm down...

I'm going to continue my subscription because I love Tim and Todd like distant brothers and want to support them.

I sure hope those of you who read this also support R2P because even with your personal beefs with R2P and the way Tim runs the show, you all have to agree:

This place is by far, hands down, the BEST overall collection of sim racing we have ever seen. And I can speak with authority on that as someone with going on 10 years behind the sim wheel. There may be individual leagues that have a bit better racers or racing but overall, this place really does have it. From the support to the help from other drivers to the quality of the competition to the stats to the organization to the administration to the schedules, etc. etc. etc. ad nausem.... We all have a great resource here and you should support it. Hopefully now when I do come online I can help the boys with some stewarding like I always promised Tim I would, eheheheheh....

Take care fellas. It's been fun.
