    It has been a few years since I was on. I am back to learn and contribute as I can. Work kind of took hold for awhile. Now I am getting back into my hobbies and making time for things I enjoy. What is life if you don't have some stuff to enjoy?

    I rarely wear a hat. My Russian style fuzzy hat is about it and only when REALLY cold.

    Dean,

    Nice surprise. I have been absent for several years myself. You were one of several people here whose opinion/information I greatly valued. I believe you were one of the people who helped steer me to Lauren when I wanted a key made for a fairly rare Corbin pancake lock. Lauren was an absolute pleasure to get to know. He did as n excellent job. Had original considered selling the lock but after Lauren made the key, I no longer wanted to part with it. Still have the lock and key today and it is worth far more to me than it would be to anyone else. The lock even ended up in Lauren's book - Vol 3

    I am not a locksmith. My career was in IT... writing software, managing systems and networks. Was force to retire at the end of 2015 due to disability - a large part of the reason for my absense here. Still consider myself a newbie in the antique lock and key arena. I have learned how to pick a few more locks but I'm barely a novice. Thats OK though, I have a lot of fun and am trying to het back here because I could always find someone who knew a lot more than I did about any lock Ivd encounter. Good to see you
