Hey all, you know what, with all the excitement of getting back into the SMF, I totally forgot and/or neglected to stop by here and say hello and introduce myself.
I'm ForkinPork, from Stamford, Ct. I joined up with SMF a year or so ago, and didn't really pay attention to how much fun it is in here, so I've been away for a bit.
But now I'm back, and I don't know if you are gonna think that's good or bad, but here I am, and all I want is to be a member, a member on one great team and/or group, and I think, you all are it.
With that being said, I am almost 58 yrs old, retire heavy equipment operator, retired on disability, from a bad heart. (I'm doing fine)
For the last 15 to 20 years I have been abscessed with BBQin, smoking meats, BBQ competitions and judging, as well as curing my own meats and making fresh sausages of all types, I've gone so far as to attend culinary classes in both the cooking aspect and sanitation, just for the fun of it at a community college for 3 yrs in a row,.
I feel I have a great knowledge of what this forum is all about and would feel privileged to hang wit you all and lend whatever advise I can and enjoy matters as they pop up.
I am by far not a pro, and I now I will learn a lot from you all, as I already have in just a week or two. I just hope you all give me the opportunity to share my knowledge, no matter how small it may be, and except it for what it is.
I know... and this is why I'm staying, you all have what it takes, and I want to learn and be apart of it. Your advise, your joking, the laughs and whatever comes our way.
You have all been so welcoming so far, and if I ever step out of line, please PM me, as I do not want to losses your respect, and friendship.
Hello everyone, I'm Forkin Pork! :eek:
