Just wanted to to say say hello to you all, I have been reading through the posts here for quite some time, although not as a member. I found out that this could be considered a less than desirable activity, and learned that I was guilty of being either a "lurker"? or a "troll"? As neither of those titles sounded like anything I wanted to be part of. So,I have officially registered and will continue to read, guilt free.

Thanks folks for putting on a great place for these stories and ideas to be exchanged, and for sharing the ones you have.

Welcome to OCDO, and yeah, you'd be a lurker, but it's not a bad thing. A troll would be if you came in here and just wanted to cause trouble all the time, like a few other people around here I won't name (who have admitted to just being here to cause trouble, the only reason they come here). Since this is your first post and it wasn't inflammatory, I'd say you'd have a hard time getting that title.

If you're from around here in WA, check out some of the other posts for some gatherings near you; if you are here in W WA, then we are having a lunch here soon; you are more than welcome to join us. I think the Spokane guys on the other side of the mountains also get together fairly often, and I'm sure they'd love to have you swing on by for one of their get togethers as well.

From the Graham area, maybe I'll catch up with y'all up in fedral way next week, that sounds like fun to hang out with some like minded folks.

If you're referring to the Willow Lake event, it's in Seatac and it's shaping up to be a big event. We're hoping for even more than the 40+ people we had at the last one here (Yes, here. I moved in a little over a week ago).

On another note: The folding chairs we used for the last event aren't available for this one, so you might think about bringing your own.
