Yep, I'm the new guy.

Steve, I knew Centralia sounded vaguely familiar, so I looked it up on the map. I’m born and raised in the New Orleans area, but my dad is originally from a little ways south of you in Cairo. I spent many summer vacatons visiting up in that part of the country when I was a kid.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Cairo is a beautiful area. Hilly with rock cliffs… really nice. Centralia is a little more flat, lots of corn fields.

Hi Steve,

Welcome again and thanks for the background. It is great to have you on board.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Welcome! Sounds like you’ve got a good plan going!

I was looking at the picture you had posted and thought to myself, “Very attractive Lady” then I noticed you were there to. People think the same thing when I am in a picture with my children or wife. Oh, your in the picture to. You get that shop of yours up and running. Keep us posted on its progress.

God Bless

Welcome, Steve. sounds like some of us here could get together and compare notes from when we were on the job. I’m sure we all have lots of funny stories about our “associates” from those days. We like humor around here as well .

Great to meet you Steve. I am also new, within the last day or so. Man, lucky guy to have all that hardwood around you, what a blessing!. Most of what we have here in the great Northwest is evergreens, but there is also some hardwoods, like White oak , walnut, and all kinds of fruit trees, which I adore. So …WELCOME..WELCOME..WECOME!, and God bless you!
