Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Didja miss me...?

... did ya hang my picture on the wall?

I'm back... and Noel Lee has just stopped swimming in his pool of money long enough to exclaim that there is a disturbance in the force. Thank Alan for convincing me to stopin again.

Hello again to Ken, Peter, Chess, Scott, Craig, Ray (Ray... Ray...), Jack, BigJohn and BigWill (I can never remember which one is the evil twin! ), Alan, Amie and everyone I've forgotten.

Bren R.

Well! All the old guys are popping out of the woodwork. Glad to have your expertise back. Ray has been crazy busy with work, golf, yard, golf, family, golf, and.........golf. But he still loves us. I talk to him via email now and then. He'll be back on a more regular basis when the snow flies (down here in the lower 48, not up there in Freezerville ).

Bren! I missed you. I thought you got ticked off at all the bickering and left us. I did some good while you were gone though and made a politics thread so that nonsense doesn't show up in our more on topic discussions anymore...

Bren,

Actually I think you are my evil twin (or is it the other way around)...gotta find a current pic of me to put up for others to decide.

Glad to have you back...missed your insight, expertise and wit.

WhatFurrer

Welcome back!

Yes, Bren, I missed you. Welcome back!

In solidarity,

Tom

ah, here is the 'welcome back bren' thread.. i posted hellos on some other thread..

ringmir dida great thing(or bad thing depending on how you look at it), and created a politics thread.. as you can see, no one really goes in it too much.. . that tends to be where the dirty laundry gets posted now-a-days.. a lot of us got tired of the bickering also.

BTW- get a new avatar.. surely your hair has grown since we last talked with you?

bigjohn

oh man, you need to check out the politics thread. i'm almost positive you have no opinions to express
dan

As a matter of fact I was just thinking of you the other day. I think the politics thread sparked the thought.

Welcome back! Unlike others, I suggest you stay far away from the politics threat. [sic] Save your sanity!

I’m glad that you’re back . I missed your witty feed back.

Welcome back...you've sure missed out on some "entertaining" threads from the last few weeks. Abba anyone? Anyway, it'll be great to have your wit and expertise back on board.

Bren
Welacome back!!!
You helped me with my very first post (in tech questions)
I need your help again. I just received a new sacd player and I am a little confused about the connections.
I'll be posting in tech questions with specifics soon.

Hey Bren,

It's nice to see your name here again

I wondered if you'd ever return. Great to see ya post. Always appreciated your insight and technical expertise and looking forward to more.
Ah its starting to feel like when I first stumbled upon this forum seeing all the senior addicts around.

Welcome back, Jag

I'm glad you decided to come back. I've felt badly about our last exchange for some time.
Regardless, it is good to have you back - these other guys couldn't (or wouldn't?) tell me how to change the batteries in my remote.

Ajax - Careful with that word old... with you and Ray still here, I look like an embryo.

Ringmir - thanks for keeping that stuff out of sight. Hard to ignore when you're forced to read it.

WhatFurrer - If we look alike... get a jack handle (not Jack's handle) and muck yourself in the face a few hundred times, it's GOT to be an improvement!

Spiff - How goes the new house shuffle?

Tom - I... well... oh, hell... *hugs you*

BigJohn - Nope, hair hasn't grown - it keep the 1/8" guard close at hand, though during summer I can't shave as often as I'd like... started looking a bit like Willie Nelson there.

twodan19 - No. Bad Dan.

md55 - explains why my ears were ringing.

kcarlile - I intend to stay away.

tleigh - careful of the use of the word feedback to an audio technician.

SpockTheater - you still confuse me... it's comforting in a way.

bray - I honestly don't remember what the question was but if I helped, that's all that matters.

littleb - to quote Goofy "aww... Gawrsh"

Jag - Technical expertise? Comes in two flavours - having crossed wrong wires and blown things up, and having been slapped by an old salty audio tech just before crossing two wires, protecting me from blowing things up.

BigWill - those remote batteries... first get a 16oz ballpeen hammer and a 6" angle grinder... BTW, hope that's your son in your avatar, if not, you're going bald FAST.

Bren R.

Okay, Bren, we all missed you terribly.

Nice touch with the Forgotten Rebels reference.

I guess you’re right, witty input probably would’ve been better. However that can be scary as well .

Robottawa - I can't believe someone actually caught the F.R. reference. Well, I guess you DO live in one of only two provinces they play these days (BC being the other).

tleigh - witty input sometimes suffers from the Pin 1 Problem, though... it all depends on what runs to chassis ground.

Bren R.

What a nice surprise.

You should know that you were thoroughly missed in the most dude-like way possible, but if I missed you in a different kind of way, I would't hesitate to tell you.

Welcome back to the fold.

Welcome back --- but hey - you forgot me...

Hey BrenR nice to see you! How are things in the Peg anyway? Some day's I long for my old home town. Did they get that new rink done yet?

DJ_Stunna, I love the little dude walking! lol

Since we've gotten to chat occationally off the boards I guess I couldn't say I've had to miss ya Bren.
