I've been a little less active than I'd like lately on AW, but work has me crazy right now... they shipped me to Indiana for some GM testing a few weeks ago, then transferred me to a new store, so I had to move... I'm in my new place now, not quite unpacked, but wanted to drop a line to my AW friends while I can...
