With everyone re-doing their bio's I figured I'd jump on the 
bandwagon and get mine updated.  I'm sure I did one 
originally, but it never seemed to appear in the bio archive.

I am 40, about to be 41, with a wonderful SWMBO and 2 great
kids, Amanda, who is 10 and Eric who just turned 9.  We live in 
So. NH in Sandown.  By day, I'm a standard computer geek, 
testing software and keeping our development lab running.
By night (and weekends), I try to steel some time to escape to 
my basement shop.  I have the standard arsenal or p***r t**ls
but have weaned myself of things like my belt sander and am 
slowly giving up the routers.  Shop time has been quite limited for
the last few months because I have been building a 22x24 family
room with 2 car garage under.  We started in October and the 
exterior is now complete.  Next phase is the electrical, insulation
and sheet rock.  
My SWMBO is extremely understanding about my addiction to 
the "oldtools" and has even taken to pointing out good stashes
of tools at the local flea markets and antique shops.
One of my future projects (not too future, I hope) is a timber framed
shop.  I have been planning it for years and may even do some 
thinning of the "forest" on my lot to supply the timbers.

In closing I just wanted to say thanks to all the galoots, old and new,
who have provide hours of enjoyment and loads of great information.
I look forward to each days new load of postings.
