Title: Change is inevitable...
Post by: Duc L'Smart on July 14, 2009, 09:21:53 AM
...except from a vending machine ;)

On to the Topic At Hand:

Just wanted to let everyone know that Stephanie & I are making some changes....

We have sold the WareHome & moving near Taos, NM.
It's hard to believe it's been less than 3 years since I bought my 1st Duc, & what a wild ride it's been! It's been an honor to get to know everyone. I've definitely had a lot of fun being part of LSD, & will miss everyone terribly. I'll be back occasionally for shoots & Duc service, and maybe even a track day,  so I'll try to catch up when I can. In the meantime, plan on visiting me in NM!

I may throw an impromptu shindig at the WareHome this weekend. Anyone around?

Stay safe- rubber side down ;)

Ciao for now

You both will be missed ...

You and Steph will sorely missed my friend. Taos is one of my fave places and I am sure we'll be making the trip sometime soon. Now, I'd have to come up with a good reason to come up and visit though. Hmmm have to think about that one.

I'm here all weekend and would attend any function at the 'Ol Warehome. When are you guys leaving? Aren't you going to miss this wonderful weather?

I'm in for Saturday; may not be able to make lunch at Jack's but later in the day over at the warehome sounds like a winner  [thumbsup]

Wish y'all weren't moving but I can totally understand... And what a cool place to move to.  We'll make plans for a moto tour out your way once you're settled in.

I've been waiting for this announcement! [thumbsup] Can't wait until that first week of August when the family and I get to escape this living inferno of DFW and head to the family cabin north of Cimarron! Lows in the mid 50s and highs in the low 80s... ahhhhh! [drink] Will you still be heading back to DFW that week of Aug 6-12th? I think I remember you saying you had some work scheduled here around that time and your parents having a big anniversary.

I am up for lunch on Saturday at Jacks or wherever and would love to hang at the Warehome! Is anything still there?? What are you going to do with all your stuff if you don't have a home base yet in Taos? Throw out some details about Saturday and I will etch them on the calender! [thumbsup] [beer] [bacon]

Congrats to you, Scott.  Sad to see you go, but glad that you're moving on.  It's been a real pleasure having lunches and other various talks with you.  Feel free to impart your sage wisdom and smartassed comments from afar.  I'm sure you already will.

Texas will miss you buddy.

Well, it looks like we've got a place almost lined up in Tres Piedras, about 30 miles West of Taos... Not exactly a WareHome (what is?) but I think you'll approve. More details as they become available ;)

Post by: Duc L'Smart on July 15, 2009, 04:10:29 AM
Thanks all for the well wishes. I've been here a long time (almost 48 years :P ) & really the only thing I'm gonna miss is my friends, & y'all are at the top of the list!

And yes, Taos does now allow snowboarding, so come out for mountain fun in the winter, & magnificent roads, scenery & weather in the summer!

You should try doing the Google Earth search for Tres Piedras, NM. @+8000 ft. it's going to be one MF'n nut-freezin frost bite winter! No trees, flat mesa that will blow like a hurricane when it comes down from Siberia. Glad you got Steph to keep you warm. Sure you won't miss this fine weather we're having this week?

Yep, we thought TP could use a little excitement [thumbsup]

Unfortunately, very unfortunately, I have a 2 week job in Dallas beginning Aug. 10 :(
