I'm back
« on: March 24, 2011, 05:39:14 PM »
   It's been three months or more that I've been away from the forum. It seems like forever. I've been in Guatemala with my daughter and new grandaughter. It's been the most fun I think I've ever had. I missed the forum and all the wonderful people in it. Never thought I'd say that about a bunch of people I'd never met, but it's true. Can't believe how many new members have joined. I won't even try to welcome you individually, so please accept my warm and genuine welcome to all of you.        Gene  PS Damn! it's nice to be back.

Gene.  Welcome back.  Congrats on the new grandaughter and glad you enjoyed the visit.  Again, welcome back.

Welcome Back, Kotter.

I recall the post you shared with us on the birth of your granddaughter. It was a joyful occasion and much appreciated.

    KJ, I've been gone so long I forgot my own name. I was so busy all the time I was there that I almost never got near a computer. As  soon as I got home I knew that I had a bunch of catching up to do. I'm really anticipating the new pistol from Tom Watson, that thing should be fun.  Well, better get back to answering emails. Thanks for the welcome backs.    Gene

Gene.  That new USAF is quite a looker.  Will be interested in how you like it.  I can't imagine three months of emails.  Again, welcome back to the group.

     KJ, I had so many emails that they had overflowed the computer and piled up in the living room floor! ;D ;D    Gene

Gene.  That sounds like you may have to use the shovel or rake techique!    ;D
