Now Hear This!

[Andy Hoyt]

Our buddy, Steve Schlumpf, has a new gig as SMC newest moderator. He's here at my invitation and with the approval of all other mods. Please be gentle as he learns the ropes, but no so gentle that he doesn't, umm, learn the ropes.

Glad you accepted, Steve; you earned it.

Carry on.

[Curt Fuller]

Congratulations Steve! And good choice Andy! I look forward to Steve's wisdom and level headed approach. Excellent choice!

[Brian Brown]

Congrats Steve, on accepting a thankless job. You'll do a great job. Maybe I should make this a less thankless job, and say thank you to all of the moderators for their service.

[John Shuk]

Welcome and thank you.

[Ken Glass]

Steve,
Way to go! With your knowledge and skill, you will be a great resource to the Creek. It also shows great judgment on Andy's part. LOL....

[Mike Peace]

Thanks for taking on this role, Steve. You have a great eye for detail and the right words to provide appropriate feedback. Your messages always have a helpful, caring tone.

[Jeff Paxton]

Hey Steve,

Thanks for your valuable service to the Creek. Your feedback is always encouraging no matter how awful my work looks. You have the gift of encouragement.

Jeff

[Gary Herrmann]

Excellent! Thanks Steve, it is a thankless job.

Now where did I put that swearword thesaurus...

[Pete Jordan]

Great job Andy!

You couldn't have picked a better guy.

[Maylon Harvey]

A really great Creek asset gets recognized, thanks for accepting Steve. Good choice Andy.

[Barry Stratton]

Geez Steve, I thought you knew the difference between dumb and stupid.:rolleyes::p:confused:

Good luck!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Steve will make a great moderator.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats Steve.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Thanks Andy and everyone for your show of confidence. I appreciate it very much and am both humbled and honored by the moderator position. I know I have a few things to learn and promise not to embarass Andy very much............. the first few days.

[Dewey Torres]

Steve,
please continue to make enough shop time to turn more of your fabulous pieces. I really like what you did with your album. Congrats on the MOD job!

[Philip Duffy]

No better choice, that's for sure! Welcome to Steve! Philip

Here's my question - when does Steve sleep? Let's see, he (a) has to turn at least 4 - 6 things each day, (b) goes and cuts some wood here and there as the shavings have to pile up, (c) I saw a picture of his shop, so he must spend significant time cleaning, (d) there must be a "honey do" list if his house is like mine, (e) he spends a heck of a lot of time on here encouraging everyone and giving well-thought out advice, (f) I assume he stops to eat and drink something every once in a while.

There are 164 hours in a week. While it is apparent from the photo he doesn't take time out to trim the hair, I don't see how - after going through a day performing tasks (a) - (f) above, the boy has anytime to sleep?

He's a machine!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Thanks everyone! I seriously appreciate the support!

Michael...... you funny!
