Wow has it really been this long!

To say I've been away awhile is an understatement. I popped by to look up some info from "just" a while ago and kinda figured out that it was years, as in several years ago. My info said I still lived in that miserable place in NC that I'm more than happy to be away from.

New twists for me in the last couple years (or more) is that I'm living fairly happily in West Texas with my little 7 lb dachshund and my cat. Doing lots less hammer swinging and a lot more tractor driving. Some machining on the side. I haven't been happier in more than 10 years. I don't make any money, but hey...

Hey, if you're happy.....

If you are happy you are better off than a lot of people.

thanks for the kind words folks. I'm not sure the "like" part of the comments was a thing last time I was around. Used to be here regularly, but life happens. At some point Handejector took over in the way back of my mind and I lost most of my posts. No big deal. Right in that timeframe I had more life to have to deal with that didn't allow me S&W time and well things change for everyone at some point. I'm still looking for names that I used to know. I am glad to see that most are still here, at least a little bit.
