Our house is beautiful! There is a few things we would like that we do not have. Living in Napa California the top thing on our list would be a vineyard view followed by a large porch to view it from. We have found this house and own it as of last Monday, the folks there need a extra month to get ready for their next home. We also need some time to get ready. Our new farm house home is a little smaller, not a big deal with the kids growing up and moving out. The biggest adjustment ( for Flying Disc Blog sake ) is a small garage.
The house we are in has a large garage that I have built special shelves high up in the wasted space near the celling. I also  have a nice display case that holds about 50 discs. Bottom line is in the next month these discs will be going into storage. The new house comes with a large empty space that we plan on building a barn as well as other things like a pool, outdoor kitchen, guest cottage, lost of fun stuff, but to do the barn right it will need a space to house my discs! Problem is there are a lot !
I see a barn with space for a few cars as well as a music room and a separate craft room for my honey, a upstairs space for a bedroom/bathroom, so as you can see it is going to be a big barn! I have a idea for one full side of the barn to be a small ( in depth ) closet with sliding doors to store my treasure of plastic. No more climbing ladders to fetch plastic! A display case is a must, I enjoy myself filling it with plastic that is of interest of my Frisbee Family guests. 
Other ideas for the barn was a fireman's pole for fast and fun desents from upstairs, but my honey has the wrong idea about this. last a secret passage, this could be just a hidden door or a passage way or stair case. This is going to take some time, I already have my kids lined up to do the disc display  with their collections of plastic at this year at Vintage Cup. I am glad I have many of my favorite discs pictured here so when they get stored I can still enjoy them! Everything is in order, easy t find lets see how long they get stored!

Hi! Ahhh, beautiful Napa valley. You are a lucky man just to live there. Congratulations on your new home. Good thing discs stack well--LOL!

Be careful planning your garage/living space unit. I lived in a home with the garage within the same structure for 15 years, and it always smelled like fumes in the rooms adjacent to the garage space--regardless of constant ventilation, leaving the garage door open, and blowing out with fans. Maybe that's why my brain is addled? (Another LOL)

You have a marvelous (as in Marvin) collection and web site. The only thing that I can't find is how to get in touch with you. I have an early 1960's "Flying Saucer" on which I am trying to find the value. I can send you scans and details. It's from my own childhood, and has been used an average amount, but is in pretty good condition for being almost as old as I am. It is red. It's called a "flying saucer" (in the space where the words Pluto Platter are), and has patent number. Other details available.

Long story short: How can we converse?

PS: I am neither a texter nor a facebooker. I'm an old fart with a desk-top and email only.

Me again. Typo: It has NO patent number. It doesn't have a mold number either. It does say it was made by Wham-o in San Gabriel, Calif.
