Thanks for the welcome back boys.
The lady in my avatar actually did swallow me, but realized I am not very tasty and spit me out, just about as quick as she swallowed me.
Actually... I got really busy at work and with the new home and now things are finally starting to get back to normal (whatever normal means). I've got a new two car garage I plan to put to good use, but it needs a lot of TLC. Right now it has too much junk in it to be of any value.
Once I get a shed in the backyard, I'll clear out the garage and I plan to fill some holes in the walls (plaster and sand), paint it, put down an epoxy floor and I should be in good shape.
