I find this is the only forum that I've used that still have an active community.  And that's probably more due to the family feel and welcoming environment.

Plus having this thread for "shooting the shit" conversations. 

Definitely keeps me coming back.

Yes, the steady flow and the #SSAFamily (i've tagged it haha) keeps this forum going.  Keep in mind, SSA is the only place that has a real store (in NY), a real online store, a massive forum (17 years old now), an actual brand, a FB page, twitter, IG etc.  No one else has the all encompassing approach we do that I know of.

Thank you, I don't speak deep south fluently, mostly fighting to keep the NY/NJ/Philly out of my speech patterns and enunciation. :):)

Nick Morgan @NDMstang65 occasionally speaks south west VA to me, and I miss a few words on random occasion.  Tennessee is a different language outside of Nashville (massive outside money flowing into Nashville, causing a construction boom).  I did work on the road for a couple of years.  Got a few "y'all ain't from 'round here are y'all?" when coming through the panhandle of Florida for example, or the Pennsylvania questions where they are worded as statements, but go up in pitch at the end, so it is very confusing as to if they are asking you something or telling you something.  With a mother that is a doctorate in English, I was trained to have very formal and proper speech patterns and pronunciation, but from time to time a little bit slips, especially when not 100% sober.  There is some Chicago, some Seattle, some Boston relatives on my mothers side, and I have not had enough contact with them to be effected.

You're #SSAFamily whether you like it or not, your work is on my right arm forever.  But yes, always happy to hear about the longevity of the Icon's.

This mornings fun. I started over with new birch plywood for my .8 cu enclosures. As the last wood was leftover scraps that was deemed unfit. I'm much happier with this batch. Although the Lowes birch was shit, so far from perfect. Good enough for the girls I live with anyways! No automatic alt text available.No automatic alt text available.Image may contain: table

All the biscuit joints plunged in!! Now time to bust out Mikey!s router and blast some holes!!

Beautiful.  What joiner did you use again? I like how you want for girth instead of length.  

Ladies appreciate it as much as @mikel7829.
