Hey Guys,

Sorry to take so long to reply but with work and the huge Movember-inspired influx of new guys in Establishing Beards (a good thing!) I haven't had time to get back to my own thread.  

Twearded, ARB, Marty, Larry, and  Dave, thank you as always!  After nearly 3 years of wearing this thing, letting it grow out, and trying all manner of styles I think I've finally settled on one that fits (yeah, I know, how many times have you heard me say that? smiley: embarassed).  I plan to keep growing, of course, but this style is easy to throw together in the morning, stays looking tidy all day, is comfortable to wear.  What more could I ask?

Frightening sight, isn't it Ollie?  smiley: wink  It was my pleasure to move you over and thanks for stopping by.

Thank you too, imaginary!  I saw your post about using your beard to hold your cable needle and, as gato suggested, I may have to try that with the double points that I'm using right now.

It really is my pleasure, Bob and Trick, thank you, and Trick, to your question, see below smiley: eek

Dirk, my friend, you have a knack for leaving me at a loss for words.  It's been a true pleasure having you around since your very first post and this board wouldn't be the same without you, your wit, your great advice, your candor, that great smile, and, of course, the HAMMER!  Congratulations on making Wizard status and for finding, as I have, a style that really suits you.  Most of all your dedicating that post to me these other fine gents put a lovely shine on what otherwise, with what happened in Paris, has been a very sad day indeed.  

Take care everyone,
Tom
