I would like to extend a Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year.

Byron, my friend, a sincere thank you!  I also wish to extend the same to our many friends in this community. 

It's been a tough year, let's forget about it for 1 day and count the blessings we've been given!  My heart goes out to all those who have been laid off, injured or worse this past year.  My own family suffered the loss of my beloved father-in-law, Tony Jowers, a great man (who had absolutely NOTHING to do with welding, but I loved him dearly).  Tony was the type of guy Scott Norris would have loved, a comedic genious... anyway, all our best...

With warmest regards and cheers for a much better 2009,

Jon & Karen

To avoid offending anyone, best wishes to all of you for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all; plus, A fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of the other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regards to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences of the wishes.  (disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for him/herself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)  Aw, what the hell.... Merry Christmas everyone! God bless all of you and may you have a happy and prosperous new year.

That is great.  Pretty well summed it up on the legal side of the Holidays.  Thanks

to all my buddies  wire slinging, co2 flux core dragging, kitty litter scraping, lo-hy vert stringing, 6010-7024 feet per hour, 308 pushing, cup walking, wick dipping, spiderweb joining, lacing up, e-beam window watching, robot maintaining, laser adjusting, kodack shooting, film reading, weld spec writing, mentor/instructor pass it on heros out there........MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! or whatever holiday fits for you!!!     

We all get a bit of time off this time of year....use it for whats important....your loved ones, your kids, your wife.....and enjoy it.  There is plenty of time for work.....there is just not enough for what actually matters!   (by the way that includes you sourdough and all like you!!!!)

I say we nominate sworrinis for forum member of the year!!!  Not only can he outdrink all of us but he can keep us laughing long enough to drain our whiskey bottles unbeknown est to us.  Ok maybe he is not the sharpest tool in the shed but I say he is the blunt instrument of progress!!!  No matter what the job is if sworrniss rolls out you can bet something is going to happen for sure.....either chaos or open revolt but no matter...it is change for the sake of levity.....now tell me who among you in the trenches can argue with that logic!!   Ahhh screw the we part...I myself nominate sworrinis for member of the year.   If your into porn or just sick of mind you may paint your own pictures of that statement.  

I love the "holidays:!!!!!

take care all
