Hi All.

I have been a lurker for a while and the information here has been invaluable. I live in Christiansburg VA but work in Blacksburg VA as a IT Manager for a small retail company as my "day job:, then run a small IT company on the side, so my weeks are overfull.So I am not on here as much as I want, but one day I dream of having the time to start the many LED/Technology/automation projects that I would like to do but at this time I am just trying to not be behind on everything.

As far as my mission.
This is my wife and I's primary vehicle (she has an old escort that I hate). So highway is going to my trailblazers most common habitat. Pulling a small to medium sized trailer is common as I help the many friends move or continue renovations on my house. But I look at a snow day as a reason to get into the vehicle and have some fun. I subscribe(mostly) to the Ron Swanson mentality of "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing and methods of transportation". So I want to be prepared for the most things I can while still living in the reality of the day to day use, and of course a tiny budget for upgrades. Also the wife, dog and I are going to be going camping a lot this summer and looking to make some upgrades to facilitate that.

Thanks to the founders and contributing members for the wealth of information that has been posted here. I know the time it took to boil all the information down to the comprehensive docs that are posted here. Thanks again.
