Not sure why they picked that one?  I built that one when I had hair on my head & there were no digital cameras! Now my hair has moved to my face ( funny how years of gravity works). Seriously.... they must have dropped the "bar" ..... What the heck am I doing up there (I think Frank House is up there right now!)
Anyway I just want to say: many of the guys here on the ALR are deserving if not way more then I.
   It is a real honor for  me and I thank you for your kind words.

I'm not always good at helping out others here on our list  ( not to mention teaching my apprentice....ask him how many times I get "silent" only to find his problem corrected when he returns to my shop!)
   Everyone has their way and they must find it. I find mine best in solitude but still need to hear voices from out there to know it is really worth it.
Thanks
Jim
