Well , I’m still alive :)

I know I’ve been gone for a very long time and just came back to say hello and hope to reactivate myself within this group of old friends.  Glad to see so many of you are still active.

Yes, I spent the last many years on Facebook and a music group there which I still really enjoy being a part of, but let’s just say I no longer use Facebook and so yes, I’m back home.

The last time I was really active on this forum and shortly thereafter was when I was going through my divorce and posting songs like crazy.

A lot has happened since then I no longer live in Washington state.  Situations at Boeing accumulated and me having to quit My position and I won’t go to the rest of that.

Spent four months unemployed and at the beginning of that journey, I met an amazing lady and we have been dating for three years and I have proposed and she said yes.

Her name is Candice.  Her maiden name is Pepper and she has red hair so I introduce her as Pepper. 
Those of you who did go on Facebook have seen the post I’ve made of everything that we have done. She fully support and enjoys my music. She loves to ride motorcycles, and I have found the soulmate I always needed to find..

With the job search, I found my way to Cleveland Ohio working for a company doing an ultrasound on Ross stock, steel and other metals.

The cost of living here is much nicer than Washington and with the sale of my house in Washington. We found 105 year-old craftsman bungalow in an amazing neighborhood in Cleveland and moved in and promptly started upgrading everything..  The heat and air was fine, but we pulled the crappy carpets had All new flooring put in with the snap in high-grade wood type flooring the kitchen was gutted and had brand new gas stove, put in microwave farm sink, granite counters, and all new cabinets due to the fact that what was pictured was pretty bad.

Oh, and we bought our house basically site unseen we had two amazing agents here on this end and we did everything pretty much via Internet from Washington. However, we got a killer deal as soon as I can remember how to post pictures in the forum format I’ll put some before and after in.

So there’s a quick catch-up.  I have a couple songs I can put in that no one here is seen, and I just wrote one that I actually have not fully played out loud and tried to sing at the same time primarily due to the tempo at which I originally had in mind writing it to be able to play and sing at the same time so that might be a slowed down version .
I’ll still post videos to YouTube that people can link into.

For the most part pay everybody it’s good to be back and I’ll catch up on everyone’s post for the last year and enjoy being back.
