0.000 HBD@thedamus Strikes Again 😃
## <center>Look at this guy.</center>  *Photo cred: @thedamus himself* ### <center>This ⬆️ is one of the jolliest pictures I have ever seen.</center> <hr> ##### If you have been following along the last few months, you might remember @thedamus and I are engaged in a fun little game of one-ups-manship. The ups are ever so slight each time. Let’s have a quick review of the timeline. ☺️ # <center>📆 ⏳🕜🕢🕖</center> ### <center>Six Months Ago</center> ##### As a result of [THIS](https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@dfinney/old-dirty-bars) post @thedamus (who was filled with mirth and merriment) nominated me into the #steemsilvergold community and gifted me lead tier membership to the community’s voting bot for a month. Super unexpected. Super generous. He plays the role of community pirate, but is really the biggest softy on steemit. ☺️ <br>  <br> #### <center>Well, I wasn’t going to let this kindness pass unanswered.</center> # <center>📆 ⏳🕜🕢🕖</center> ### <center>Five Months Ago</center> ##### As a thank you for the gift of #ssg membership, I sent @thedamus a little silver round. None other than Canada’s Wayne Gretzky! Check out the post [HERE](https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@thedamus/holy-mackeral-howling-wolves-and-hellya-dfinney)  *Wayne* ##### As an aside, not only did this gift make us “even”, but it also led to this serendipitous interaction. <br>  ⬆️*This right here is the very first moment of making a new friend(which can be damn hard to do as a grownup). So thanks to @thedamus I am part of a funky Steemit community and I met someone who would later become one of my fave steemit buddies. Even with Wayne to even things out, I was still indebted to @thedamus.* <br> # <center>📆 ⏳🕜🕢🕖</center> ### <center>Three Months Ago</center> ##### Well, if you know @thedamus you know a couple of things. 1. He likes to have fun. 2. He is super generous. 3. He doesn’t know the word ***even***. 😄 ##### Of course he sent a response to my thank you gift. If you’d like to see the whole post about it, click [HERE](https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@dfinney/an-cross-boarder-battle-of-baby-ups). His gift to me, a 1.5oz Royal Canadian Mint ***artic fox***. In typical @thedamus style he ups the ante from 1oz to 1.5. 😄  # <center>📆 ⏳🕜🕢🕖</center> ### <center>A Little Less Than Three Months Ago</center> ##### Before @thedamus had launched his last volley, I already had a silver bullet in the chamber and set to deploy. My answer to his gift was swift. I had found something that seemed the perfect gift (especially considering our locations and nationalities). [HERE](https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@thedamus/mail-call-and-a-solid-one-upping) is the post about the ***TWO OUNCES*** of silver I sent @thedamus’s way.  *Peace Arch is a monument designed by Sam Hill that sits directly on the US/Canada border.* ##### I must have done well with this gift. @thedamus seemed pleased and to my pleasure he was temporarily stumped in coming up with a reply. 😃 <br>  # <center>📆 ⏳🕜🕢🕖</center> ### <center>Yesterday</center>  ##### Yesterday I received a parcel in my mail from @thedamus! Always exciting and I was eager to get into the thing. Let’s have a peek.  *First a postcard! I collect postcards and love Vancouver.*  *As always a lovely and clever note.* 🐺 🐻  *Ingenious packaging to throw off the customs agents! I also LOVE this CD.* **SIDE NOTE** Here is video I took last year at the Guns n Roses concert at the Gorge Amphitheater! 9/3/2017 - Gorge Amphitheater: George, WA *Welcome to the Jungle*. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dHbxvhtK0pM #### <center>And now for the goods. ☺️</center> ## <center>**TWO COINS!!!**</center> ##### @thedamus just initiated the **perfect** baby up. In response to me sending him one 2oz round, he sent me TWO coins totally 2.25oz of .9999 silver. Well played @thedamus! ##### First up, a 1.5oz Royal Canadian Mint .9999 pure grizzly! Look at it roar! Issued in 2017, this coin has an $8 face value.  ##### Next coin comes in at 0.75oz! Also .9999 pure, this 2016 $2 coin features two wolves howling at the moon! I love RCM coins, and these are two wonderful additions to my stack.  # <center>Thank you so much @thedamus!</center> #### <center>I appreciate these gifts and you!</center> <hr> ### <center>Now I have a **LITTLE** confession to make. 😬</center> # <center>. . .</center> # <center>. . .</center> # <center>. . .</center> #### <center>I have been pondering my return move for awhile.</center> # <center> 🤔 💭 </center> #### <center>And I had an idea. A great idea. But it was going to take helpers to execute.</center> ### <center>And the helpers... well they’ve turned a baby big idea into an irresistible **BIG** idea.</center> # <center>It is going to be **EPIC** 🤗</center> <hr> ### <center>It is going to take a little time, but the next move is going to blow your mind. 🤯</center> # <center> 😃😁😃😍😃😁😃</center> <hr> #### <center>Proud Member of: [steemsugars](https://steemit.com/@steemsugars), [steemusa](https://steemit.com/@steemusa), [teamaustralia](https://steemit.com/@teamaustralia) and [steemsilvergold](https://steemit.com/@ssg-community)</center>
