Climbed up the management ladder pretty quick there Mike. Glad you are on board...don't let the power get to your head.

I'll try not to let it go to my head, Paul. If I do, or you feel I do, Please feel free to call me on it!
I was not trying to climb up anything, or get any position, rather I enjoy working on stuff, repairing it and getting it going again!
In life, I try to keep relationships at the front of any issue and view the issue through the lens of relationship. If I may, let me share a personal story as an example.
A number of years ago, one of my kids did something and "got the cart before the horse" as one of our friends from church put it. I was really upset, but I thought about that phrase and the situation. What to do.. I could shoot the horse! I cold burn the cart! Both of those would help me feel better in the moment but would still leave a mess in the middle of the street and damage our relationship. I chose to help get the cart behind the horse again and going down the road in the right direction. That salvaged the relationship an afforded me opportunity to later speak into their life.
All that to say, I will do my best not to be a butt! Thanks all for the welcome!
