Nelson, as you posted this, "As today is Saturday, it is one of my two work days during the weekend. That big nor'easter just passed through last night, so I am going to be making another built-in shelf outside on the patio, so I don't get yelled at by SWMBO" . are you in New England ? close to Maine ? If so i could lend a hand with helping you set up your sho
Just to join what others here have said. This really is the best internet site i have had the pleasure of being part of.
Thank you.
I am taking a break before I tape some joints (I really hate sheetrocking work) on the shop front wall.
Thanks for the kind offer, Old Mud. We're in NY, but our family visited Ogunquit, Maine for vacation every year until the kids were born.
We love Maine. I used to drive trolleys at the Kennebunkport Seashore Trolley Museum.
Now we go to the Jersey shore because it's closer.
There is only one person on LI who is somewhat close, but John isn't here much.
It's over an hour drive in heavy traffic to his place.
So I'm on my own. Probably why I never got anywhere.
And why I insist you guys put in your locations and form mentorships and groups.
People need to team up and help one another to get things set up and going.
Fellas, I am not going to go into the particulars here other than what I have said.
It's just not a good idea.
I started this place myself, paid for it for several years out of the paltry allowance SWMBO gave me for hobbies, and used free software.
It got bigger than I ever thought, and we bought professional software and a dedicated server.
Someone got the idea of having people donate to help me pay for it.
I didn't want to make a dime on this, so I made it a nonprofit.
I organized the corporation. Could have had 3 board members, me, my wife, and my son, (3 is permitted in NY), but I expanded the board so we could give more people a chance to have a voice.
Lo and behold, 3 people end up running it only, because I wanted, after 7 years, to finally play with my toys.
I was going to give them away for free to whoever would haul them out of my basement.
I decided to try once more to get things done down there and to pass the torch to do it.
I checked the site every morning, when I did backups, and I didn't like what I was seeing.
Suffice to say, It didn't work out.
Ken will be back. Terry will not because he quit, and he has expressed a loathing hatred for me. It shocked me to hear it.
Gator will not be back. I received a number of complaints from people who said that he was rude to them and acted like he owned the place.
I can't have a moderator who is rude to people.
If anyone is rude to you, moderator, member, or me, let me know about it.
We all have bad days, but let's try to help and be kind to each other.
