Nice to meet ya bigcountry

Great place with great folks. The search engine is bustin at the seams with all kinds of useful info so be specific in your searches. The Guru's, well they are Guru's. They know their stuff and don't mind helping at all. Matter a fact I bet the go to their Guru meetings you'd see them arguing over who had the best answer for a question. Even the folks around here are happy to help. Everyone brings something to the party, seems everyone gets to leave everyday with something new too. When you have a question or a problem everyone will be there to help. But if not an emergency its probably already explained in a pictured tutorial you'll find with the search engine.

I know I am long winded but bear with me a couple more mins. I suggest you take notes, we all do. You can't know how to get were you want to be, if you don't know where ya been. If you don't write it down you may forget what you did on that last smoke, worse what you want to try different the time. Heck what if you did the perfect smoke and couldn't remember how ya did it? Sad day. One of those wise Guru's suggested taking note to me when I started. Its good advise.

Notebook, pad, journal, even a flash but keep a record. There is a whole page of help and forms of what to keep in the search engine.

I am going to have cooling water cut in to my keyboard I am typing so much.... gonna burn it up!

Looking forward to getting to know your smoke.
