Hey AGFer's!
I'm still alive, and no COVID here. I wouldn't say I'm "well", just still vertical
I have been UBER busy with running the company, keeping all of my staff employed, and all of that. We've managed to run our entire buisness out of our homes without any interruptions to operations. I haven't needed to let anyone go, and we really haven't seen a decline in business.
My wife is well, no COVID, and she's survived not 1, but 2 bouts of cancer again last summer (right around a year ago).
Other than that, I've been wrestling with some personal demons and have had ZERO time for anything even remotely musical or music-related in many, many months. I dunno if I can even play an open G at this point And I REALLY miss going to live shows!!!!!!
I need to get an avatar up, find a dark theme and see if I can make a little time to pop in once in a while.
OH, hey - new MODS - this site doesn't have an SSL certificate, do we need to pass the donation hat to remedy that?
Also, the old forum had a member's only section that wasn't crawled by the bots. Do we have that here yet?
Hope you're all well!

Hey There!
Your system has to ask for HTTPS to get HTTPS on this server, ask for HTTP & you get HTTP.
Oh, and NO there is no bot-free area here even tho I've tried to talk Patrick into one.
Hopefully if more people ask for one we can convince him.

Welcome back RLP - very glad to see you and know that both you and your wife are hanging in there. Kudos to you for keeping all your employees working too - several folks around here were not so lucky, me included. Working hard on the next step here myself, keep up the good work.

Good to see you here again. Looks like you were busy on more important things that farting around here but when you need some down time remember to stop in.

I knew you'd come back in due time. You're too talented to not be playing guitar, drumming, and singing. Get back in then game brother!

Damn! Sorry to hear that bro. I run an IT Services company, so need for our services has actually increased, not decreased. Hope things turn around for you quickly.

Yeah, so if we don't have a section that's not bot crawled, I REALLY gotta watch my mouth
We all do. I think we need bot-free area & it seems you do also.RedLesPaul wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:36 amYeah, so if we don't have a section that's not bot crawled, I REALLY gotta watch my mouth
If we can get a few more folks asking for one, perhaps Patrick will add one?
I sure hope so!

Avatars have to be <50k bytes file size.dearlpitts wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 10:19 am I need an Avatar 2 welcome back man I also got to figure out why all the sudden my pictures are too big they weren't too big at first what the heck
Other pictures have to be <4meg bytes filesize.
The 50k is bigger than the old forum, the 4meg is the same as the old forum.
Uploads can also be .PDF files, which the old forum did not allow.

Welcome back Randy! Good see you hanging in there. I semi-retired since we last visited. I work three days and week. Every week is like Thanksgiving.
