I hate being a Newbie more then I Hate Dialysis, at least is how I Rank those events at this point.

Have searched for info regards Ranking and find nothing, or I just plain missed finding it.

How does the Ranking process function here!

It's based on number of posts. But I don't recall at which number you move up in rank.

Thank you .

Used to get in to St Louise, five / six times a year on company business.
People would ask me 'did you go see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,'.
Well I put in 10/12 hour days, how in the world could I squeeze in the visiting time.
Same can be said for the other states I've been to.

Hello willowtreewren,

Recall a gazillion bee's while doing a training session down your way. Doors had to be open and the brix tests being done attracted the bee's.

Your username brings in many memories, Willow trees. Pine trees and birds of all descriptions. Ah sweet memories.

Hi Jean,

Hmmmnnn, recall going through your area, but mostly was in San Diego that I spent most of the time.

So you say, the magic number is 50?

Ah the magic of some sunsets in SD, were soul soothing.  Have some photos to refresh the memory, and will, the good lord willing and the creek don't rise, do some oil paintings based on those memories.

Well now, has been a very busy day,  doing what needs doing to get rid of the Newbie ranking.

Do hope that what efforts put in to date, are of some value value to others.

Did 'pig' out with three moderate helpings of ham and potato salad washed down with a Heinekens.

Ah will see what the 'marrow' bringsv after this nights rest.
