Hi from appleman

Perhaps I am being somewhat egotistical in even thinking that anyone cares but I figure I own it to you to let you know why I have been inactive up to this time on this new forum.
First and foremost it took me awhile to even notice that a new forum existed. And I suspect my second reason had something to do with that.
Second, we have just finished a very busy apple harvest season. It was a great crop something we are all very thankful for. The crop was not only great in quantity it was also a good quality crop and so far is selling very very well. But the storages are all full and we have a lot of work ahead of us.
Third. I will have to admit to going through a bit of a mourning process for the old MD. I miss being able to use the mass amount of resources on there as a research tool. I miss being able to go back and see how even some of my own views had matured over the years. I realize now that I made a serious mistake in not backing up some of the more treasured parts of MD for my own benefit. Guess I was naïve in thinking that what was is on the net will always be on the net.
Fourth. This time of year is always a very busy time of year for me due to some of the various boards I serve on. I was in Halifax for a board meeting two weeks ago and in KC for a board meeting the first three days of this week. I am presently winding up my board responsibilities of a board that I have served on for many years and just getting into the groove of a brand new board that I have the opportunity to serve in and that I am quite excited about.
And fifth. I really am enjoying this thing of being a grandpa.
And so I am not sure what the future holds for me here. I am in the process of heading up a potential new project here at work which if we go ahead with it will take up quite a bit of extra time for the next couple of years. My guess is that I will be drawn in to some of your conversations at times. I have made too many friends here over the years to just drop out cold turkey. Time will tell.
Blessings to all of you.
