Warren,

Our little exchange was the third such in 6 months for me (with other folks), and I felt that I could have redirected that energy to helping rather than being so, well cold to you. Iam also seeing this tension in me in my personal life.. just too much stuff going on right now..starting a restaurant while closing another and working 8 hours is a lot of work etc.etc. In short, I want to just take a break from tension, and get my head where it ought to be. I will read this group daily, and if now is any indication..I am still here afterall, I will write off line to issues that I feel need to be addressed if they are of importance. If anyone wants to write me, please feel free to do so. Advice is free as the wind.

By the way John Vigor is still lurking here. He just does not post.

Cheers,

Larry

What prompted that posting was a trip to Sears last week and I noticed a warning on some electrical equipment about exposure to cold weather. Made me think about the radio on board hence my question. I have gained so much from this board over the past year or two it would be a shame to lose any of the knowledge and expertize found here. Now if someone could talk to John Vigor.....

I find myself getting ticked at stupid things and acting likewise, so I need to get the mouse droppings out of my gourd before continuing. I need some time to do this..it may be as simple as letting time go by, finishing the startup of my restaurant, and getting thru Christmas in one piece!
My responses were disappointing to me when I read them after a week had past. I would be saying something to someone who treated you guys with that attitude, as you deserve better. So I will comeon back in a few weeks when my own head is in a better place.
If there is something that you want to ask me, please feel free to do so via e-mail. I'll do my best to help you.

I can't stay away from here totally, so I suspect I will lurk, checking out the issues etc. .

Thanks

I have learned a lot from both Larry and John Vigor. I sincerely hope they will continue to post...they are some of the reasons why this board is so valuable....Nobody is perfect, and we all have our own ideas and opinions (I have certainly been a jerk at times). I miss reading John's opinions, and i know I would miss Larry's as well. Keep up the spirit of friendship on this board!!
