I've been away for awhile!

Hi guys, and gals. I've been very occupied these days. Too occupied to write most anything. On my collecting front, I've kept myself, enjoyably, working quietly on my sets. Mostly still in the PL area. It's hard staying at the number 1 spot with my Pl dimes and quarters. Always looking for who is catching up to me, searching for a better coin. Although, there are not many choices, when you pretty much have all the top coins. Still, when someone is catching up, and you don't want top go to the #2 spot, you keep trying. I've been working on the Pl nickles, they are fun, not worth anything, but fun. I guess this is where you collect solely for the fun, and not for the investment. The early ones have a bit of value, but nothing that warrents the price to buy them, or grade them. Still though, they are fun. Pl-66 seems to be the top coins while anything higher is an anomilly.

On the economic front. I do have some good news, or signs. As a construction contractor, I've done more quotes this year, than any other year in the past 16 years. I do have to work harder these days, but the jobs and money are there! I think that the economy is improving better than is told, but quietly. I have to work about 15-20 hours more a week, and in areas that I had got away from, in the past, but the work is there. Hopefully, we have a long warm fall.

Well, I've got to go to work, I'll try to write a bit more in the comming months.
