A couple years ago, I decided to retire from the hobby but lately the wheels have been turning and decided to come back for a little while. As  

The other day I was surprised to remember that my first appointment was 12 years ago and 11 years ago I joined TER after being frustrated with the "other big canine" Board.  

Time flies when you're having fun (as cliché as that sounds).  

I never really posted on the Board other than some reviews, but figured since I was back I would post a note to say hello.

And, yes, my handle has "Rookie" in it...never thought I would still be active, this many years later.

Hope everyone is staying safe and having fun, because that's what it's all about.

Regards to all,

HR

so what else?

I honestly didn't realize the boards had been around that long.
Are you an RS2K guy?
Is your membership still good??

Have fun!  I am sure you will be making lots of new friends!!

I've been here since "02" and I must say the ladies from Chicago are the greatest.

I travel to a lot of cities for work (and sometimes find time to play) and I have to say Chicago has the greatest ladies and fellow hobbyists.

I've never been steered wrong when I asked a fellow hobbyist for a recommendation and a "very high %" of the ladies I see are friendly, sexy and most of all respectful.

I am 56 yrs old and do not ever plan on giving up this hobby. It's what keeps me feeling young!

The boards been around a long time. I don't think you ever lose your roomservice membership, unless you change phone numbers. I believe mine is still good and I've been a member for 10 years.

Hi there and welcome back.  Enjoy.

Sincerely...

Welcome back!

Retirement is a dirty word in regards to the hobby ...LOL.  When I officially became a "hobbyist" back in the year 2000, I told myself that once you enter the hobby, you're in it for life.  Although, that doesn't mean that you cannot go on "hiatus" when life gets in the way.  I've done that a couple of times already with the longest stretch being about a 1.5 yrs ...LOL ...but I keep coming back for more!

Chicago seems like a awesome city! The Chicago board is definitely an active and happening board. Enjoy your time back in the hobby.
