Good luck to you in Houston Bill! I hear the fishing is great there! But, now you get to join the ranks of NCKA ex-pat lurkers on the site.   :smt003

Good luck Bill. Been to Houston many times. Great BBQ there and good fishing I hear. The tough part for me was the 98s (temp and humidity both—felt like a sauna but I am sure you get used to it).
Cali folks will be jealous of the mansion you can buy there for less than a condo costs on the Peninsula. Stay in touch.

Bill,

As you said, I really do hope to "See you later". I wish you well out in TX. Hope you and the family do well out there. Thanks again for starting this whole NCKA deal.

Best of luck, Bill. I'm sure the new office will do great.

Bill, I hope you realize how much this little forum has affected the lives of the people it's touched. Lifelong friendships, lifelong feuds! haha. Sooooo many memories. I can't tell you how many times I came home from a camp & chill and realized 2 days later my face still hurt from laughing so hard. Thank you and enjoy the next big adventure.

P.S.  You captured one of the most fantastic pictures we have of James. I want to specifically thank you for this one image, as it means a lot to us. Just to share it again (Elk, 2008):




P.P.S. Just realized that Joel's there in the background as well. Even more treasurable...

Wish you and your family the very best, you will be greatly missed here. Thank you Bill for all you've done in fostering this great sport and bringing us all together through this site. I know there is some very good hunting opportunities in Texas. I'll be there next March going for Javelina and Hogs. Look forward to seeing your post from "T" :smt002

Good luck and thanks again,
Ben

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

Scott, so glad I could give you that image, that was a great weekend!

Ben, where are you going hunting? I might be geared up by then if I don't get distracted by 1911's and AR's :-)

Oh that got that all covered and then some, I think kayak fishing is bigger in TX than in SoCal. No need to wade into another turf war!
