I didn't say it was rocket science did I?

I simly meant the general information about welding certification on the front page was applicable to the welding certification subforum, so I posted a link there. What I found funny, was three of us finding it worth posting in three places for three reasons.

I know, just giving ya a hard time bud. Like I tell a lot of friends, "Google is your friend". That's where I find most of my links.

I'm used to that. 21 years of marriage thickens one's skin...

Ain't that the truth, 31 for me in August.

Gotta go, time to feed the animals.

Please don't say August 3rd... That's my 22nd.

Congrats on 31!
