How the . . .
Did I end up here?
That's a good question, and I have an answer!
You see, there is this guy, , who I have known since the paleo period of the Internet - 2001. Three years ago I came to HIVE the day it launched under the account name
to help him out (Or something, but that's how I remember it). It's still here, obviously, but I "might" of got a little side tracked. Not long, only about 2 1/2 years worth! Yeah. well, things happen.
A little back story . . .
In September of 2019 I jumped on a plane in Denver Colorado and flew off to possibly attend a crypto convention for a token Jon and I were involved with in Bangkok Thailand. Never made it too that either! But I did do one thing . . .found a tropical paradise I wanted to become part of.
I flew back the end of December thru China with big plans to return to Thailand in 3 months. Nobody knew yet that other 'plans' were already in the works. Shortly after I got back, the world shut down.
With no way to do that, I wrote posts about it on HIVE.
If you know me at all, you also know I could turn this into a 5000 word essay delving into the ramifications that led me astray. But I shall spare you, for now. And honestly, I don't really know. I just did.
So, crazycowboy?
Being the slacker that I was, I lost the keys to the old account. Recently I have been hanging out with Jon over at #CTPX and (with a little prodding) decided to start over. Jon helped me setup the new account today.
In Thailand when people saw me walking around in my hat and boots the locals started just calling me "Cowboy". Once they got to know me a little, it became "Crazy Cowboy". And since much of what I will write about is related, crazycowboy has a born on date!
Ok, you are as up to date as I am now, and probably equally as confused. So I will leave it at this point. I do hope to get to know everyone that responds, and hope to build together as I start this new journey with you.

P.S. It looks like Jon didn't really need my help back then. He has done pretty good without me! LOL
