Hope everything goes well buddy. I can relate to your comment on re-hashed posts over and over. I love this site too, but at some point you just start to not respond to stuff you have seen, or don't even look at the treads anymore. I think we all are guilty of getting in here, finding out how awesome the people and info is, posting like fiends, then getting a little bit burnt out. I can say that your absence is not a knock on you, I personally don't feel any ill will, we all go through the same thing.
Hope your wife's job situation goes well too.
