Well as some of you know, I haven’t been on in a while.  First, my computer took a dump and I have no other computer as a backup (lesson learned: have backup computer in house!).  Second, I am still trying to get the new house in order to move (lesson learned: don’t ever rent from family!).  Lastly, I have not had time to smoke but three bowls in the last six days (lesson learned: take an old yard pipe to do interior house painting!).

  Having said all of that, I am glad to be able to post something.  I have “borrowed” a work laptop to keep up on what has been going on around here.  From what I have seen, it looks like new members are coming in by the dozens and that is great.  I also was able to catch up with a friend from here and read some of his posts, which were very interesting and informative.  I plan on taking some of that information and putting it to good use. 

  I will lurk around the forums and make sure I put some comments on there.  To all the new members that have joined in the last few weeks, I say welcome and am glad to see you here.  I try to publish at least once every two or three days.  Sometimes they are good posts and sometimes they are just rants about things that p1$$ me off.  So you are all welcome to read and please feel free to comment, whether it is support or criticism, I welcome both.

  So now that I have excuses and introduction out of the way, lets chat.  Shall we?  As, I was keeping up on my emails on my Blackberry (yes, I am a tech junkie), I noticed that there seemed to be some kind of disagreement within the halls of the site here.  Now maybe I didn’t interpret things correctly, but it seemed that way to me.  I really hope that I am wrong because I am bound to upset someone sometime on here.  I don’t want to upset anyone, but I do it sometimes.  So to those of you that I have upset, or the ones that I will upset, I apologize and please realize, that I really have no malcontent by my words.

  Thanks for reading and I will look forward to your comments.
