Hey there Dennis. How's it going buddy? I haven't been hiding mate. Just got involved with life. I am back in SC now. Most of my stuff is still down in FL (motorcycles included which sucks bad) but I am fixin to make a trip to get everything so I can sell that house Been in no rush because the market was so bad but it has picked up some. I won't get what I want for the house but I should do ok. When I came back up here I decided do something other than contracting I have arthritis in my ankles and knees so starting at the bottom and doing all the labor myself in a new location until I grow enough to support a crew didn't really appeal to me. I did a few jobs when I first got here but I am just tired of doing itI am still young enough that if I was going to change careers I should now. I am almost threw with my training and probation period at the Freightliner factory here. It is the facility where they assemble all the chassis. We get the engine/tranny units from the plant across the border in NC and build them from bare fram up to complete rolling, running and even driving chassis. Then depending on what type of application the truck is for they are shipped to various other plants where the cabs, electronics and what ever else the application calls for are finished. I have always been a gearhead and into mechanical stuff, so this is a cool job to me. Now if I can just get my bikes and tools up jere I will be happy. Was in a pretty dark funky place last time I was around here so I am happy to report I came out of it and am thriving. Hope all is well with you man. I don't even bother with Veetle anymore so. Actually just found a new toy called XBMC. Been playing with that. Take it easy Dennis. I will check in now and again. Looks like everybody bailed though. I don't think I ever showed you guys what I look like so here is my hairy mug to put a face to the name;

well Paul it is so good to "see" you so as they say turnabout is fair play. so cover your eyes.
I don't cast as much as did before. a couple of months ago I got a new computer and thought life would be wonderful and be able to cast like you did more than one channel. NOt to mention since the last Firefox update my streams and some others don't work in any of the Mozilla browsers. But this computer has been a bit of a disappointment. It came with W 8 which I really didn't want and my experience so far has been not unlike my daughter's experience with that joke "Vista".
Things even got a bit worse when I "updated" to W 8.1 and now really wish I hadn't done that. I really hate W 8 since I updated non of the Veetle stuff will work in now IE 1. but hey enough ShaZammmming from me.
Been a real long time since Carol showed up here. I really miss chatting with you and Carol. you guys were my first friends 3 years when I came to Veetle. I have other friends here also. Like Steve a fellow Canuck who lives on the west coast just north of the USA border. He shows here now and again. he is a car enthusiast and build classic cars.
Take care friend and all the best to you as you move on. but if you get the chance and can find me on Veetle please drop in and say hi.
Later mate

Yea you shouldn't have upgraded to Windows 8.1. That version is solely meant for mobile devices with Ark processors and very little onboard storage like Windows phones and the Windows Surface. It will basically only run apps. Is is their attempt to get into the smartphone and tablet market that Andriod and Apple have sewn up. You can't install full programs on it. It isn't a PC operating system. I would suggest downgrading it to 7. A lot of people are having trouble with 8.

see I knew I needed somebody like you adviceing me. Actually another friend on Veetle has made the same suggestion and did give me link for it. I really wanted W 7 when i bought me computer but they didn't have any left. i bought through the company my son works for. Lloyd suggested run on W 7 from my external drive. But, I am not computer savvy enough to really know what I am doing. And need a guardian angel looking over my shoulder when I am doing. I would acutally be happy just to go back to W8 oh well live and learn I GUESS I really miss being able to confidently cast what I wanted anyway friend thanks for being there, best of luck, it is so good talking to somebody again. viewers on Veetle don't want to talk anymore, not even some the casters won't talk. just listen to me up on the DAMN SOAP BOX AGAIN---GGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Attachments:
