Hello all - been around lurking for the last year and some change but with little consistency. Every once in a while we get some of the familiar faces coming and going but unfortunately this place seems to have gotten a little quieter than I remember. Which is too bad, in all honesty, because over the years, this place has given so much!
Anyhow, I'm Jason - local degenerate and known to channel a Korean dictator at times. Been coming in and out of here since 2017, got to learn a lot from the folks around here, if not advance my CAD to levels most people have never dreamed of. I currently live in NorCal, been up here for about 2.5 years. This past year I jumped on board with a couple business partners and we started an automotive consulting business. It's still in its infancy, but I'd like to think I give pretty good car advice for anyone who might need it. Hell, I might even be able to help you get a better deal with less hassle.
Other than that, much like the rest of you, I like to smoke cigars and enjoy life. I don't drink these days, maybe 2-3 over the course of a year. I know there's a lot of people who enjoy their libations - maybe I just haven't found something I enjoy drinking enough to chase bottles. I play the guitar when I feel up to it (Fender > Les Paul), I keep some cool freshwater tanks (currently rocking a nano with some shrimp in one, and a betta in the other). I'm an avid electronics nerd - I'm usually buying all the latest and greatest, so if you need tech advice, from audio to TV, tablet to keyboard, I've probably got an opinion on it.
I'm going to try and be more active around here, because at the end of the day, changes (whether it be forum layout, policy, or people), that's life. I'd like to think we adapt and move forward for the better, and I'm not one to just sit and complain about what it was, but I'd rather look forward at what it can be.
With that said, let's see if we can drag some people back into the mud...
@Opforty stuck his head out, the plan is to make him regret that.
@Glassman, my fellow brother who spent a summer with me bombing everyone we could.
@qpzmide, a degenerate in his own right.
@bwhite220 slapped me up with the ugliest mug in my cabinet at one point.
@Just__Jeb is the a-hole who got me into this slippery slope.
@Jay_Habanos - his name says it all, and I'd like to point a finger at him for advancing my CAD,
@squaresoft, who's been a ghost, but shares my love of all things RPG.
@bostoneo has disappeared, but has honestly run more box splits than most of us combined.
@fisherclive, from the Dirty Mitten, still leaving a wake of chaos wherever he treads.
@ChuckMejia - the resident troll, and probably half the reason I kept poking my head in here. Your boy @Coincrazed misses you dawg.
@THEMISCHMAN - completely decimated me in my n00b trade.
@Hopduro - resident doctor and degenerate, and the glue that's been holding said n00b trade together.
@Rupe, who's remained consistent here with the lottos (I'm not sure if still to this day my number(s) have come up).
@akpreacherplayz, the resident preacher and herder of lost Alaskan sheep.
@mitetak, @navyvet, @Bondo 440, @Nacho Daddy, @NMPokerDealer, @StogieFisher, @StogieNinja, @Dran, @nc_6789, the list goes on and on.
I'm sure there's a whole bunch of people I'm missing (and a lot of people I can't seem to find, maybe after so long of inactivity they get deleted?) but beside the point. We've all spread out across numerous channels over the years, no homo, I'd like to see more of you clowns around here.
Special shoutout to @Mr.Brookz, who has single-handedly been the biggest PITA and and solid brother to chop it up with, even though he voted for Bernie Sanders. Twice.
@MC808 doesn't seem to be tagging correctly, but he's a legend in his own right. One of these days I'm going to make it back to an event bro!
@GreekElite - C'mon bro, where you at?
EDIT: Guess the last couple did work! Feel free to tag anyone you haven't seen around here in a while!
