Gentlemen (and the one or two ladies),
I have recently accepted a job offer as quality manager for a small machine shop here in town, and I start on the 8th. I will no longer be in the welding "game," being that my new company is pretty much just a machine shop. I will, of course, maintain my membership here, as I know there's a lot more knowledge in here than meets the eye. However, I undoubtedly will not be around anywhere nearly as much as in the past 8 years. Have to go learn a lot of new human tricks now. Thanks to all who have helped me over those years, especially Henry, Al and Allen, who all contributed to the successful conquest of the "almost a metal." :) Good luck, good health and good fortune to all.
Curt
