Hi Guys, I'm Back

 :wave I'm back.  (No Schwarzenegger quote intended) After a year of living in a cave getting out is really difficult.  It is amazing what little is really needed once you realize you can't just get in the car and go where and when you want to .   :toast

Michael, Sir,
Really glad to see you back on board.  Been a while, for sure.
So, "I'm b-a-a-a-a-a-ack" could be from Jack Nicholson in The Shining also.  Is that it?

:wave  Good to see that you have returned!  :hairy

On another vein, I have wanted to ask about your avatar; years ago I searched for information on treadle sewing machines and that same picture popped up.  Would that be you?  Just curious.
