How's it going boys!

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I retired on July 7th and in Early August went to the Philippines for 2 weeks of which 3 days were for a medical mission. Basically a free clinic where I helped out where ever I could. Different world over there and poverty is everywhere. Beautiful scenery though and had plenty of time to sight see. Island hopping being one of the things my girlfriend and i did. Makes,you appreciate what you have back here in the states. Will be in North Carolina for a week in early October and then San Antonio for a few days to see Chris Stapleton in concert and see the river walk that is so highly touted in SA.

Enjoying retirement. So what's been going on around here? New members?

Things are going good here; considering. We have quite a few new members since you were active here. Some really nice guys I think; good posters contributing good information.
Things are slow, but that makes sense as we have pretty-much covered every known species, subspecies, and population of bears. Recently a giant ancient relative of the giant panda was discovered. Every now and again the tiger fans come up with a new unproven "tiger kills adult male brown bear story" which (of course) they accept without a shred of proof. But, that will never change.
Good to see you here Tom.

Welcome back Tom. Life is going to be hectic for me for the next two months. Have fun in the Phillippines.
