Tim, I support your decision 100%. I'm OT free for about 3 weeks now and there's a noticeable improvement in my life. Too many bad apples here and it's gotten really petty recently since I still scan for interesting things and whatnot. Like others have suggested, I'll post about "real life topics" like Little Traveler, seems my fridge (that I just restored) just died so may ask about that (just clicks), and perhaps my 4Runner restoration (wish I had your welding skills...quarter panel sheetmetal is paper thin) and I recommend you do as well with your incredible skills.
Anyway, good luck and I'll be sure to send some T's for the nephews, if they ever come in from India.
Keep in touch.
