I can’t tell you how hard I tried to avoid this, but deep down I think I knew it was inevitable. Between closing on a house, selling this house, mountains of packing and paperwork. I just can’t spare the time to shoot pictures for content here. Not to mention right now about 80% of my collection is packed away waiting to move. When I’m not at work, I’m packing and cleaning and reviewing and signing papers. I take a couple hours before bed to wind down and zone out with a few video games or a little TV. I close on the new house in a little over two weeks, and the plan is to make the move in Mid February when my job transfers me. Yes, it’s a little over a month and a half and while that may seem like a lot of time, there’s so much to do!

I think knowing that I’m missing posts here is just causing me more stress so I’m going to go ahead and shut it down for now. Sometimes toward the end, moving can be a game of hurry up and wait, so I’m not ruling out the possibility of getting back here with something, but at this point, my expectation is that I can get things back up and running sometime in March with at least one or two regular posts a week. FFZ is hitting 15 years in 2025 and I don’t plan on letting it die after keeping it going all that time.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who stops by and sends emails or shoots the shit with me on Twitter/X. I don’t really do this for clicks and hits, so I’m always a little surprised and thrilled to see it get the traffic that it does. Especially since blogging has long since given way to video content. I really enjoy sharing my passion for plastic and I’ll get back to it as soon as I can!
