Sorry about that, missed a warning about space. Should be good to go for awhile now. Also, speed may be faster too, let me know if there are any issues that cropped up today you haven't been experiencing.

I was a little concerned last night, but I didn’t lose any sleep over it. Other things, yes, but not this. ;)

Not terribly likely any more. I'm glad we have this to take over for the defunct TTF.

And I don't miss the politics section. :cool: :wink:

I'd say "not likely" is an understatement.

First time I've seen the word "terramation"

"In accordance with Richard's wishes, Terramation of his remains will be performed ..."
"I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two."

Me too!

"Terramation" = Human Composting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_composting

Only legal in a few states.

Richard was living in Oregon, where they are very into this type of thing.

Hmm. My back yard soil needs amending. Human composting will be legal in California in 2027.
Time to put some plans in place ...? My wife could have a great garden! :idk:

I'm getting a good dose of server management as part of a great IT team at my work right now. Memory, storage, managing backups and compression . . . fun stuff.

Hey, I found the site today and decided I, too, should hope back into the trombone forum land!

What have I missed? It's only been a few (cough, maybe 10 or more) years!

Is D in the staff still (mostly) in 4th position?

The hours of down time made me realize how much I would miss this place if it was gone. Time to make another donation to show my appreciation.
