Hop to it
Its with some reluctance and sadness that this announcement comes.
When I launched HDA here, it was an exciting time of bringing Dealz to the community (laregly unheard of in this format at the time), over the years, none of that excitement faded and I get just as much joy from it now as I did then.
Several factors are pointing towards the need for this to happen, not the least of which is the family, I feel they are getting a little short changed out of the volume of time required to service HDA, but that is mostly a manageable thing, the late nights splitting and packing I can deal with, hell, it's wicked fun opening big packages ofweed hops and splitting them up.
That shit never get old.
There is plenty of other things going on in the Yob world, big things, that require attention and time, I'm looking into some new ventures that are likely to consume a vast amount of time over the next few months and I wont be able to service them all and HDA to the level of quality I set for myself. It must be said they are exciting ventures and promise, with the right amount of attention, to mean good things in the Yob Family future, again, time being one of the large factors.
There are several ways this can go, Im not dropping off the cliff, HDA will operate as normal for at least a few months I expect but its likely after that time that I'll transition out of a full time service to the community. It's quite likely that I'll keep my contacts and will still do a fair bit of buying of stocks.. but its likely to be in a bulk buy scenario a few times a year for Melbourne folks who want in and can also help with the splitting of them, like a big old BBQ and split day.. something like that.. Its not fully clear to me yet but will play out in time. After all.. bulk buys are my true passion and calling B)
None of this is certain yet, just thought I'd put it out there.
Even at this point, I'd like to sincerely thank all the supporters of HDA over the years, it's been truly humbling, the support Ive been shown in this crazy arse venture.. and **** me if Ive not learned a shitload not only about hops but myself (and people) as well. Its been a fantastic journey and one Im extremely proud to have done. Just launching was a terrifying experience and this announcement is no less so.
At the end of the day, If I can make the new ventures come together, bigger and better things await.
