Congrats to your Eagle Scout, my son is also an Eagle. Sorry to hear about your work situation, hope there is some relief coming soon.

Thank you.

Yeah, being out of work sucks, but it's also not all bad. I'm still more fortunate than many. I've been able to spend a lot of time with my kids and it's an even bigger deal since my son will be leaving for college soon. He'll be going to Texas Tech so he won't be coming home on weekends.

I now understand the pride of being an Eagle parent. At first I was against the allowing of girls into the scouting program. My daughter now has the same opportunities and it's been a positive experience for her. It's hard to argue with that.

Hello all. I guess this is more of a reintroduction. I am a long time member who joined the forum within a day of going live, but have been inactive for several years. Boy has this forum grown. Glad to see it's been so prosperous. Lost interest in shooting for a while but again have the bug.

Just wanting to say hello. It's been quite a while since I've been active on this forum. I've since had to let my CHL lapse and am hoping to acquire a new one after the first of the year. I've recently gotten back into shooting after a hiatus. I'm looking forward to renewing some old acquaintances and making some new ones.

Always a good first post. Welcome.

If I put on a wet suit (if they made one large enough) I'd just look like an elephant seal.

Welcome. I like your screen name.

Thanks. LT I believe that I'll have to take you up on that real soon. Maybe I can drag Diode out and we could make a day of it.

This may seem different but I'd like to reintroduce myself since I've been away from the board for a while and a lot has changed since my first introduction back on page 1 of this thread. There has been an explosion of new members while I've been away.

You Galveston guys can keep the place. I moved away a few years ago and don't miss it a bit. My mother living there is the only reason I go.

Welcome to all the recent members. Sorry so late, I haven't been around much.

Robert, +1 to what Charles said. I work in the same business, although I'm on the operations side instead of research.
