I described why I joined this forum in the Bar Room. Here's a bit about me.
I'm a technical writer on a contract with Boeing in Annapolis, MD. I rented a room to save myself the 83-mile commute home in Newark, DE, where I have a wife, two acres, three kids, a couple dozen chickens, and a large friendly dog. Go to the eating room to find out about our pig roast this July, to which you're all invited. To learn the long story about my joining up, see the two top posts on my blog, Mushrooms to Motorcycles.
