Wandered into CT One Year Ago, Thanks Y'all!
If first stumbled in here last Oct. A year and 1000 posts later and you still can't get rid of me. 
Thanks for the welcome, camaraderie, and the sucker punches.  This a good place to share the ideas and experiences that can turn the drudgery into an almost fun career as a carpenter. Of course there is a reason they call it "work."
All the best,
Basswood

Whenever I get too cocky, I look up one of Bass's posts and am immediately humbled. Well usually!
We love you Bass. A great tradesman who constantly thinks outside the box to accomplish the incredible.

Gosh Gus... Thankee.
I get lots of good ideas from your stuff... if I weren't such a Luddite I could follow in your footsteps. 
Cheers,
Bass

Warren, Those are some nice words, but you know I'm not much of a framer... we all have our niches. My niche is to do the weird stuff.
Best,
Bass

Bass, I think I speak for the majority when I say you are held in high esteem by the members here. You are definitely the Crown King of the weird and unusual. I seem to recall trading a few punches with you several months back. Good times and great fun. Keep the insanity alive and post often.

Glad you're here. 
This is the perfect spot to roll
my odometer over and not feel like
I wasted a fat round number!

Thanks, I'm sure I annoy some people, heck I even annoy myself.
Hey, you think I should ask for a raise? We probably have too much fun here to make any money for it eh? Well, right back at you. 
Later Man,
Bass

Thanks. I just noticed that it had been a year... so I'm marking the anniversary. It has been a good year, mostly.
Cheers,

Man, a whole year? Or is that... Only a year?
I don't always have the time/energy to hit this section of the forum, but just about every time I do, I look forward to another Basswood Original. This place would be much poorer without you.
Gus is right; group hug! <sob>
