not EXACTLY new, but....

…since there’s been over 10,000 posts on the site since my last log in (Aug 11 '03!!) [:0] I thought a reintroduction might be in order.

So hi once again (or, hi for the first time to all who’ve joined since I’ve been away) from Whidbey Island. I’m back home now after 6 months on USS Enterprise - after digging out from tons and tons of laundry and a half year’s worth of bank statements and other mail, I’m anxious to get back to the workbench!! [:D]

Whoa, Kolja welcome back!!! And thank you for your service to our wonderful country!!! I hope that you enjoy your time back, the hobby missed ya!!!

[#ditto][bow] My sentiments exactly. I could never express my gratitude to you and everyone else in uniform, for the sacrifices you have made for our country. Welcome home![tup][:D]

Thanks for the very kind words all - correct that I’ve got a lot of reading to do. However, it’s much more enjoyable than doing about 6 months worth of balancing the bank accounts! [(-D]
