What AP to get next??

Good Day All,

Sorry all, I have not been on TRF much lately, I took a new job with my company and it is lots more hours, I don't even have time to read TRF and drink coffee in the AM anymore Good thing I get paid by the hour and might get a raise in my rate next month

I am thinking about saving for another AP It might take a year or two (2 for the Bee)

I am thinking of one of these 5.

1. Diver
2. Bee
3. New 2012 Jumbo
4. 15300
5. Safari

I like all, by what to get first

Also what are you getting next??

Take care,

Eric

Save your money make your own company , work less have more income; spend more time on TRF and buy more AP's.

Seriously AP Safari.

Seriously AP Safari.
I am a consultant to this company, so I have my own company. They are my only client right now, I might bring one more client on soon but I don't think I have the time.

I would go 15300 or Jumbo purely because they are very different from your Volcano.

Eric didn't you have the diver some point?
