Gonna Take a Time Out

If anything big starts to develop I will be back. I am having difficulty posting mobile tomorrow I will learn how to do this and there will be less lapses in coverage.

Sometimes there are lulls which needless to say is good. If anyone has any suggestions to help me make this more interesting or more relevant please send them to me or leave a comment.
