Welcome to the Forums!
Let me tell ya, OldFart, you'll learn way more than you ever thought on these forums. And you will probably contribute more than you ever thought, too. A lot of us on these forums are "old farts", and still learn new modeling techniques on an almost-daily basis. You'll soon learn who to follow and learn from.
Good Luck with all your modeling endeavors! Watcha got on the bench?
