Good choice! Congrats, Duane!
I had the opportunity to spend a few hours with him several days ago. Just as nice in person as he is on here!
A big "bulk" thank you to all for the kind words.
I just enjoy sharing information and personal experiences when I can and if it ends up helping someone in the process then all the better. And just to be clear, a lot of what I know and try to pass on I've gained from others right here on WW so a special thanks to those (some no longer here) as well.
For the record, the sea pig clip was pretty funny Robert and Pipeliner, I refuse to be held responsible for the present condition of your shop. It's bad enough that I'm responsible for the condition of mine.

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.
Thanks Gravel (love that story!) and you're welcome to stop in any time. Plenty more project materials here for you to pick from.
Actually got rid of some of the jobs that were here when you stopped in. Finished the stand-by generator install yesterday freeing up my trailer, customer picked up the little yellow diesel generator Tuesday and I delivered that big 15K portable Generac yesterday that's been done and taking up space for the last 6mos. Owner decided to let me deliver it to him for a little extra as he still hasn't been able to borrow a p/u so he could come get it.
I can actually walk around the shop a little more now.
Thanks again.

Thanks for all the concerns guys regarding my recent absence from the forum. As Steve said, I've been extremely busy with work lately and as such haven't checked in much. When I have it's been brief and often only to reply to a PM or two.
Even if I've seen a thread topic involving a question that I would normally respond to I've not done so as I can't say I'd e able to respond to any follow up questions in a timely fashion if there were any. There are many others here that know as much and more than I that can help when needed so I've been focusing on a number of tasks at hand that have and will continue to demand my attention.
Just the same, I'll try to check in a little more often.
Thanks again!
Duane
ps: Insaneride - does that make me part owner of my name's sake?
