    May not seem much to some, but it's been a long haul for me

    A job to be proud of

    Does my old tired heart good to see someone with the attitude of perserverance and satisfaction of a job well done, like you have displayed. I wish I could see it in person, I hereby declare this day on the Maverick board "Rick Book Day " Congrats on the job again.

    Thanks all.

    Encouraging words for sure.


    One day I'll be able to link to a video where I beat John Force (okay, maybe in the duration of the burnout :D ).

    Looks very good! Looks like a ton of work you've accomplished. So what do you do for a core support?
