• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

WELCOME Back, boxcar!

Why, thank you, lovely lady! ~smiling~ Most kind. Is good to be back here now.

Been a challenging last year for me, as many of us know themselves through their own life's experiences. Discovering that I am a grandpa... 2 1/2 months after the fact (son estranged by his own choice some dozen+ years ago, having never indicated why to this day); the passing on of my dad 3 weeks later the morning after last year's Super Bowl (being from Indiana, it was suggested that the last interception killed him) with mom following within months; helping to deal with their small estate's affairs & all it involved; moving to the left coast to help my family with everything as well as be closer to my sister in Portland; so very much more. No regrets, as all of it helps to make us the people we are now.

Have always felt as if I am among giants whenever participating here &, in a real sense, it's true. All of you artists, developers, lovers of flight real as well as virtual... it's as if you all are in a vast room together with your necks & heads above the surface of a calm body of water, discussing intellectual matters with ease while I'm working hard just to dog-paddle in keeping my head above the surface. It's a real privilege & honor to get to jump in here & hang with so many FS titans.

Anyhoo, am under no illusions. It's clear that many who first make my acquaintance don't particularly care for me, & that's okay... but once they make the effort & get to know me a little then they really can't stand me!
