My Activity Level

There may be times that I don’t seem very active on the site, but that is not because I am not interested or don’t care.

I work a full time job, 9 or so hours a day, and sometimes on the weekends. I also have an online business selling and maintaining right around 300 addons for the XenForo platform.

So my time is limited somewhat, but I try to post as much as I can. I do read everything that is posted here snd respond when needed as I get a free moment.

I want to to thank those of you that are actively posting on the site and keeping it active.
 
Life in the real world throws curve balls. Yesterday I wound up spending most of the day working on a friend's truck. Nasty brake job that then turned into an oil change and a tune-up. Couldn't even drink the beer offered.
 
Life always takes precedence, Ozzy, so you look after yourself first and foremost. You've done an admiral job here, I truly appreciate the things you've done for this community. Take all the time you need to look after your professional and personal life, there are plenty of people here to keep the posts flowing in, and fortunately very little in need of action on any given day.
 
Be careful not to overdo it Ozzy - working too hard is no good for anybody.

What do you do for work?
 
I do sewer and water, as well as site planning and reclamation. Along with everything from electrical to carpentry.
Oh I'm an electrician / maintenance engineer / plc software technician for some of our local treatment works. Interesting stuff.
 
I’m back to being busy at work and with side jobs. Hopefully I can get back to posting soon.
Ozzy, you do a great job with this site and there's a good group of members here to make sure the content is still flowing. Things here will be fine, just don't burn yourself out trying to do everything!
