Greetings from NE Indiana!

Welcome, Marty.

Man, have you come to the right place. We don't get a lot of beginners here and I'll just bet most of us are champing at the bit to drive you nuts with helpful tips and advice.

And I'm almost you're neighbor, up in the South Bend general area. Not too many Hoosiers here, either. That, or nobody wants to admit it.

Welcome, Marty!

It's a great hobby because it has so many facets. Don't hesitate to try different things in order to keep life varied and to learn different skills.

OK, Mr. Guru (this is me joking and respecting you at the same time), how did you hyperlink an FSM url on this forum? I have not been able to hyperlink a url that points back to this fourm. I'm very curious on how you did this, if you don't mind instructing. This grasshopper is ready to learn.

And I just tried it in a another thread, and I'm still not able to link it. 

EDIT: Ha! I figured it out! I will thank you anyway, and I will check out your WIP! And a big thanks for dealing with my quirks!
