You gotta realize, I've been gone 14 years. You gotta get over something at some point and that's way long enough for me to get over it.
I look back with fond memories and I still watch to this day because I love the business and I like the guys and girls to be doing good at it and have a way to make a living for their family. But I'm done, I'm good.

Best of luck, Mr Austin and thank you for all the memories. We will see you again, next week. That's you, dear reader, and not the Texas Rattlesnake.
