Thanks one and all...
Yes, Virginia there is a Nutmeg state... BUT it isn't my birth state.. I am from 6burgh, Pa. Born n raised.. Oh I'm sorry I meant to say Pittsburgh....
I came here in 1978 the day before the big blizzard to attend sub school while in the Navy. After that I picked up a boat here in New London until EOS. Worked as a submarine builder, married a local and had 2 daughters, divorced and remarried over in Russia (no mail order) LOL. Been a votech teacher for the last 18 years. I camp and fish, do jerky and make my own beer..... and waaste alot of time on MMO games.. LOL.
Anyhoo, thank all of you for the grand welcome. I do plan on picking up some rub and sauce tho and a bunch of Q-Intel.
