@JackCarrUSA Loving your Waltham Compass! Nice piece of equipment on your wrist.

This year’s pub boxes are in the wild! Wish I could send them to everyone! If you get one, it’s one of 175. If you would like a signed book but can’t make a book tour stop, you can still find a few indie bookstores with signed bookplates via my website. Two stops in NJ and two stops in TX are now in the books. Sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to stop by and say hello 🙏 Off to Chicago today! Thank you for all your support! See you in IL! officialjackcarr.com @vaulteksafe @BravoCompanyUSA @Regiment_Blades
