Re: Adventurebilt Status Update Anyone?

Yea that's what I had to end up doing. Just passed 2 1/2 yrs and finally broke. :( I know Ill regret it but thats life. I know the new owner will enjoy the hat more so Its for the best. Maybe now that I dont have the wait time keeping me away I can start posting more on the board.
