re: #162 austin_blue

A lot going on lately. Retiring in February (pension!) and I have had to write dozens of SOPs on how to handle emergency responses (I’ve been the point in my organization since 2001). I’ve also been setting up what I will need to to do as an independent consulting geologist in the real world.

We’ll see.

Finally, I needed to take a break from this board. The Constant Cacophony of Crap from the R’s in their sprint to the cray-cray has been breath taking, to the point where commenting on the obvious seems redundant to what everyone else is posting here.

So I Iurked and laughed. Folks here are damned clever. I’ve appreciated them more from a distance. It’s been a good thing. I’ll jump back in in the near future.

Missed talking with the Lizard Nation, but I *have* been watching. Y’all are pure gold.

Completely understand. Still good to see you! The Umphreys are playing Stubbs on 22 April, I might be there. :)

Take care, good luck my friend. Oh, and the skiing has been fantastic. Over six feet of snow fell in November at the ski areas!
