Hi Ridgeeee,
Even though I've been frequenting the Lakes Region for over 60 years (ouch), I'm a newbie here too, although I've been reading as a guest for quite a spell.
Lots of nice and informative people here...and a couple of "characters" to boot. Looking forward to jawboning with the "characters" on occasion, you know how cranky us elders can be!
Maybe we'll bump into each other at one of my many favorite "eateries" 'round the Winni.....
Bon apetite
