Duane88For Sale Ole 71
After a reasonably successful 1400 mile trip, I am at a point that it seems time to lower my Barth shingle!
There seems to be only one remaining Barth GTG annually and I will still attend that even if 71 leaves. Motel room stay, really do like to go to that GTG.
Anyone that might be interested, please read the Saga of 71 in the General discussion forum.
Do not expect to get anywhere near my investment, however I do want 71 to go to someone that will use and enjoy it.
This makes me sad Duane. What are you going to do with all your free time? Boredom will overtake.
