    It really did Sir Backwoods Savage-it reminded me of the solace I have missed since I hit a bump or two...I always tell many in my life that our firewood pursuits and honing our craft is therapy...such so that absent the absolute thrill of the rut chasing trophy whitetails, I can almost say I prefer the saw in my hands more than a bow or rifle-only those here of like mind understand...I trust this finds you and all well...

    Ashwatcher, I haven't had the privilege of meeting you personally, but after reading your account of the last several months and watching your posts for the last couple years, it warms my heart to see you back in the fight. Congratulations, and best of luck going forward!

    BigPapi & NH mountain man, thank you for the kind words-this is such a kindred place and I can’t imagine another site more full of genuine, caring people because I subscribe to none other...We all process things differently and rightfully so. I actually lamented checking out for a bit, but it was best for me because as I said after many years of competition, I didnt feel I was in the game or had much to contribute, I realize now that was wrong because this place is full of friendship, camaraderie and sharing of experiences-a season for all, regardless of where we may be personally in the moment-Special place with really special people-Credit to founders and the mods that keep it so...I look forward to meeting as many as possible here yet feel I already know many of you well enough to call you friend and we never have enough of those
