Greetings all! 

Some of you may remember the name, but since I had dropped off the list
from lurking mode about 7+ years ago (birth of my first GIT and job
change cut down drastically on my spare time), you'd have to have a good
memory.  My old bio is posted, but in the time that has past, things
have changed a bit. 

I've moved out of old tool heaven, acquired a garage to store tools in
rather than a basement, and am in the midst of a career change.  Most of
my tool acquisitions of late have been from L-N, haven't gotten around
to scouting out the flea markets in the Knoxville, TN area yet. 

I made the fateful mistake of lining up my planes for a maintenance
session, but beyond the expected response from SWMBO my 7 year old son
took an interest in them.  I think if I actually get the garage in shop
shape, I could probably get him hooked.  His first grade class was
having a lesson on heirlooms, which gave me a great opportunity to pull
out a couple of planes that had been passed on to me from my
grandfather.  He thought they were cool!  (warms a father's heart) 

So, since I have a bit more time on my hands, I thought I would see what
is happening on the porch.  So, what has been going on in the past few
years?
