Nice to meet everyone. I happened on this forum by mere accident. I have to say overall, it's been fun. I like the topics, I like the responses most people give.
Current projects include finishing and insulating my 24x24 garage, putting up my 8' corral fence to shelter my trailers and spare truck, building a small 14x20 shed for hobby projects and our cabin is a work in progress.
I'm a DIY lightweight, usually getting in over my head before I am willing to concede defeat. But I love to try something new and if I can do it, I try to make sure i learn something from the process.
Now, I had a small beef with another member and it was stupid...we are all here to have fun and enjoy each other's comments.
I have been a mod on a motorcycle forum with 15000 members. I have to say as a member of 3 tap forums, this one and a local MI one have more keyboard ninjas than the 3rd site. A keyboard ninja is someone who feels its necessary to make fun of people for missing the obvious. Hey, we all make mistakes or miss a post when they are 5 pages long!
Now in all fairness, I wigged out on a member for doing this, and I apologized after my ban was lifted. That being said, the mod had a good point, let's all be a little nicer. Let's not make that last smartazz remark just to be sure the guy was embarrassed. I'm not trying to justify how I behaved, it was unacceptable, especially BC I have been a mod in the past, and being new I jumped on someone for no real reason.
Thanks for not giving me the immediate boot. Thanks for have a great forum. I can already see that most in this community are well respected "garage mentors" and I look forward to sharing my successes and failures with all of you!
