The lightbulb comes on!

[Tripledeuce]

I have been mostly away from engraving for a few years now, but I find myself getting itchy to torture some steel again. To the few of you who knew me... I'm Baaaaaack!!! To John B... Hi there! I have thought of you often over the last few years. I have missed your gentle patience and wisdom as a teacher and a friend. I hope the time has treated you well. Marty, I think about you every time I drive up CR 240... how is Durango treating you? What do you think of our winters? LOL To the others that I have met in Trinidad and Reno, Hiya! and I hope to see you again at Reno next year.

This board is WONDERFUL!!! I'm not sure how I happened upon it, but I'm sure glad I did! I have read thru a lot of the archives and so much of the information I have gleaned from here is worth its weight in gold! So many hints, tips and "trade secrets" are shared here its hard to take it all in. I know there are bits and pieces that I will re-read multiple times to squeeze every last bit information out of. Others provide inspiration and still others invoke awe!

Please keep on posting, all of you! I learn something every day... and I can't do that without you!!
