Ditto. Live long and prosper. And you might give some particulars about yourself, so that others at the party don’t just tiptoe around you, darting sidelong glances and making snide _sotto voce_ comments. ---

Thank for the welcomes ( from all) and I appreciate the suggestion. Born in the South Jersey area, moved a lot.I’ve lived down south since middle school. I ride motorcycles, play guitar, have been a mechanic ( 2&4 wheels dealer and independent), equipment operator, fabricator, salesman, emergency roadside dispatcher. I think I’m funny, so I do attempt too be humorous​ ( keeping pitfalls in mind) Married twice, first one sucked, second is much better:D 6ft 250lbs I’m not sure how much to ramble :rolleyes: but if I’m short we can make this an ask me anything.😃 ---

Southern US where? There are a handful of us Southerners here (I’m in Birmingham, myself). Our greatest achievement to date is to get the godforsaken Yankees on this board to type the word “y’all” correctly. Well, most of the time, anyway. We celebrated long into the night once we reached that milestone, let me tell you. ---
