Hello All, I hope you are having a good day.

Ok, I've got some office style chairs that I don't want. My landlord, Mike, doesn't want them either. So, hear is the gig. I'll be at the shop tonight after 5pm. I'm going to order a pizza. Eat said pizza and then go home. If you want a chair or two... or three, and there are some really nice ones in there, swing in and take it. Free. Yes, free. There are also two painting station corner desks. They are HEAVY but a really nice work space. All up for grabs. After tonight, they will be back by the dumpster.

Take care all and as always. Good Gaming!

Dave. I know this isn't us looking our best. But I will cherish this photo of us always.

Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. And thank you Alex, Brendan, and Mr. Heth. You guys are some of my favorite people.

To the community of Huscarl Hobbies and games. Thank you. For everything. Thank you for the knowledge you've given me. The advice. The laughs and the hugs. All the hand shakes. For putting up with me screaming "WHERE ARE YOU AND IM SO SORRY" to Blink 182 in the store.

Thank you.

Now. No matter what you do today. Try to make some time for fun. Happy gaming everyone.

This is Damien. Signing off.

I love you guys. 🖤

Good morning All, I hope you are having a good day. Ok, buckle up. This could be a long one...

So, folks have been wondering about what is going on. And I can't blame them. I do too. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure what is going to happen. I'm trying to be as fluid as a oak can be. Mixing metaphors but you smell what I'm stepping in. So, I don't have to explain this to everyone one at a time. Here we go.

Ok, so I've been dealing with personal stuff for the last couple of years. My health, my mom and dad, Kids... their kids.... etc., etc., etc.... life stuff. We all get it. We all have it. Unfortunately, it all came down at once. Something had to give. After my mom's most recent fall. And the shop was what gave.

Now, those who know me know I like to talk to Ghosts and Gods. I do most, if pretty much all, the talking. However, once in a while. I think. Someone talks back. A song comes on the radio that speaks right to me and the situation, a gust of wind rolls through the plants on my back fence. Like an ocean wave. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Telling me to cool my jets and slow my roll.... Finding my wedding ring, that I had lost the year before in the garden, on one of the tines of my turning fork. I was chit chatting with Aphrodite, patron of my garden... in fine Roman fashion... anywho, and BLAM! There it was. What are the chances? Oooo...maybe Gap can do the math.... anywho, its what I believe... Many path y'all....

Ok, ok.. "stay on target".... Oh yeah, what is going on. I don't know. We'll see. I'm going to let the Fates decide. I won't lie. I was pretty salty and all about staying open after recent occurrences. However, yesterday I get a call. My dad was having a rough day and that was that. I didn't make it into the shop. I need to make it into the shop.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING DAVE?! I've talked to my landlord, I've reached out to other rental companies, I've got a call into an attorney, my mom & dad's place will be repaired and on the market soon (ask me about that.. it is the purrrrrfect analogy for this whole process), my wife is settling into her new position, both daughters will have Master's (both with honors), Jobs and lives that will, please, settle down.... and my health is now "stable".

Will my landlord reduce my rent to what I want? Will I find another location that fits better? Will I end up putting it all in a storage unit? Selling it all on-line? I am the water. Where does the river flow?

Ok, there it is. I can tell you one thing... If I reopen. I don't want to move it. So, today is WHEEL OF SAVINGS!!!!!! AoS is still on SUPER SALE. I can't tell you. But it is BIG!!! The less stuff I have. The more options I'll have. Don't like what you spun up for a deal. Talk to me in a Irish accent.... you know it is my favorite....

As always, Good Gaming!

D

PS: Ok, last thing... I swear.... I've heard that some folks are giving someone a hard time. Please don't. Things happen. We move on. Folks make mistakes; and let's please not start this game.... my feet get hot everyday.... I'll carry how I treated Nick to the grave... and Chase... I'm hard to work with.... anywho, We are a better community then that. Be a wood duck, they are my favorite, and let it roll off. They just aren't invited to my play group. And isn't that punishment enough? I mean, I'm delightful.... Moving on.

PSS: OK, no really. this is it. Thinking of Chase made me think. We have the same birthday and both love Black Sabbath. So, in the words of Ozzy (John) Osbourne, "I love you all!"

PSSS: OK, who took my phone cable!!! No phone cable. No pictures!!! WHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! oh well, I am the willow. I am the willow...

Hello All, I hope you are having a good day. Real quick, I have stuff going on today. Which does include taking my 86 year old mother to lunch and then her first tattoo. She's something... and I'm nothing like her.... Ok, anywho...

Per the Request of Master Darby. We will be open tonight for Friday Night Magic and misc gaming. Most everything is boxed up. So, not sure how cells will work yet. Damien is coming in after a bit. We will need to clean up a bit but we'll talk and work the sails thing out. Dig? Dig!

Last thing. I'd like to apologize to Mr. Nutt for wasting his time. While I didn't arrange the meeting. I should have known better. No worries. Anywho, sorry good sir. Enjoy your vacation.

Ok, I need to get going. Time and tide; and my mom, wait for no man.....

Good Gaming!

Good morning All, I hope you are having a good day. We have frogs to eat today. So, let's not look too long and get to it!

First, we will be opening a little late today. Things have popped up and I need to deal with them this morning. I'm sorry. Brendan will be in around 3pm-ish. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Second, after 7 years Huscarl Hobbies and Games will be closing. This is our last month. We will not be participating in the 10th Ed 40K Launch or Magic releases.
Folks looking for 10th Ed Box. Hit up Big Jim at the Gatekeeper - 19th & Gage - Behind Fineline Tattoo or Jesse Pennick in Havensville. From what I understand the discounts are pretty good if you're a 40K club member. So, go sign up. It is a nice box set. Those cats would appreciate the sales. No salt. Really, hit them up now! Those boxes will go fast. These cats should have them. There is also Game Nut - REALLY nice shop, and the Dragon's Horde - another nice shop, in Lawrence. I just didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it. Oooo and Goblin Games in Manhattan.

Same with Magic releases coming up. Gatekeeper, Game Nut, Dragon's Horde, Goblin Games and Comics & Cards/Hooked on Comics - at 21st and.... Oh what is it... you know, Over by Brookwood and Tequila's!!! Love Tequila's! Oh, and Chris at Asgard Games up North! Chris can help with 10th Ed too.

Ok All. It has been a pleasure meeting all of you. Even the grumpy cat that gave us a one star review.... Are you sure you were in my shop? Smelly? Mmmmm, no. Rude, mmmmm..... I can be but not my staff... but anywho, even that cat. We are here for the rest of the month. Everything Must GO! Not sure when the CRAZY sails will begin.... but they will.

Ok, before i get all misty. Try and have a good day. I think you all rock like Ronnie James Dio!

Good Gaming!

PS: I'm tired y'all. That really is it. I'm tired. Take care.
