A very quiet Winter Haul this time around. Good news though. I renewed my Schramm’s Membership, did a very large BCS trade, Renewed my Hill Farmstead Collected Works Membership and re-subscribed to Bruery Hoarders so the haul post that comes ou in the Spring should be very redeeming to what I put up this Fall.  …

New house, lots of travel and some delicious beers.
