I sure am glad that I am a member here because I learn so much AND get a daily laugh. Thanks Autodoc and everyone for keeping me learned and smiling.

He's at 1,989 as of today. 11 away!

I'm on pins and needles waiting for what nugget of wisdom he's going to leave us with as he reaches the milestone.

Sorry I am keeping you all waiting -- my mind (and body) are kinda down for the count today.

All the walking (and sitting in hard chairs) took it's toll on me. Hope to be in better condition tomorrow.


I will say that (as always) I was very impressed with everything the entire staff of ISS did this year! In my humble opinion the show was a SMASH HIT!!!

I didn't think it was possible, but it was even better this year!

A big THANK YOU to the entire staff!!!

Waiting for the special event! Wondering if we will have bells, whistles, horns, music and graphics flashing across the screen!

Great Expo! Was nice to meet so many new people. And was very impressed with the number of first time attendees!

PS-- I will not be drinking and gambling again-- much safer bet to rent units and work on collections!!

I know that everyone has been waiting for this post and hoping for some words of wisdom.

Well, no words of wisdom - instead I'm going to take this opportunity to say thank you.

First of all, I want to say Thank you to the staff of Inside Self Storage and everyone involved from the top on down! Without your vision and inspiration this forum would not exist.

I would also like to pass on a special Thank you to Mr. Jeffrey Greenberger and Mr. Jim Chiswell -- without your knowledge and guidance we would not be able to do what we do with the confidence that we are doing it correctly.

Last, but not least I would like to thank all the people who came up to me at the expo last week telling me about the things they had learned following Self Storage Talk. I hope that you all decide to become members and join in the fun of helping others understand the joys of Self Storage.

That's it folks -- no confetti, no ticker tape parade, not free drinks.

Just a quiet thank you.

Quiet, indeed. He reached the milestone on a Sunday!

Thanks, Wayne, for all you've done for the forum. By the way, those signs are prominently displayed in my apartment!

Wayne, it's a pleasure knowing you, even if from afar. Your contributions to SST have helped make it the place to be, and you have been a major help in producing the Power of SST.

Keep up the good work. When you finally get to Cashiers, I'll take you to Wendy's. on me.

3,000, when? I'm thinking December 28, 2010, at about 1:30 pm est.
Closest to the correct time, can join Wayne and family, and Mikie and I at
Wendy's in Cashiers. Everyone else is welcome, but you are on your own hook.
