Hello there folks, we’re glad to see you all today. The doors are open once again for humor, hilarity, hijinks and other things that start with h (except horticulturists, they’re creepy.)

To say it’s been a busy few weeks would be an understatement. In what little spare time I’ve had I’ve been busy repairing and upgrading computers for friends ($), non-friends ($$$) and myself (nada); had my blog software updated (thanks Ben!); wrassled with a new skin from scratch that fought me every step of the way; had a birthday, eat, slept and well - that’s about it. Oh yeah and the site was crushed by bots (server mugged) which meant heck, while it was down now was the perfect time to do that blog software upgrade I put off. Hehehe.

The blog would have been back up within a few hours if I just used any old skin but I just couldn’t bear to see the site look like it wasn’t my site. So even though I was really busy, I decided not to put it back up until I had the time to get it looking like what I’ve worked so hard at getting it to look like.

I’m really happy with the outcome, there are still a few possible design tweaks ahead, but it looks like this newer modern version of my skin worked out great and I’m a very happy boy/camper/wack-job…

I really can’t say enough good things about EZOSHosting, my site’s hosting company. Sascha and crew are so durned good at what they do the site was back up in no time after the bot-muggin, no data was lost, everything was up and once they heard I was going to have the blog software updated, offered to help with it if needed. These guys are beyond gold to me and loved as much as a man can love one’s hosting provider sans restraining orders and cries for help.

Speaking of people that are beyond gold to me, I offer you all Ben Franske of Ben Franske fame. Ben, who travels so much some people don’t know if he’s from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan or just keeping one-step ahead of people who are trying to find him, upgraded my blog faster than anyone could ask “hey, can you upgrade my blog?” Simple thanks are not enough for this lad, but hey, thanks Ben! Times a billion! Ladies - if you’re looking for a good catch, he’s single… and right now grinning with that classic a little embarassed but still grinning grin. *grin*

Now that I wrestled this new skin into submission, the lights are on, the tea is brewed and it’s time to munch on some oatmeal raisin cookies and gab. Enjoy!
