Not new to the hobby or area, just to posting here. Actually managed to remember my password and when I logged in the board indicated to post here. So bowing to local custom, here you have it. Greetings and a pending Happy New Year.
Welcome back. Take most of what is on here with a grain of salt. Won't take long to figure out who knows what and who to pay attention to and who to dismiss.
Thanks for the guidance Manan. I've already noticed one specific poster that seems to stand out in terms of reality check and preferences expressed on carry choices (ie. personal opinions strongly based on fact and/or actual experience).
