Well folks I’m back, sort of. Still no internet in my new house so I’m running around to get a connection to post this review. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to write a formal written review, so I hope the video will be alright for now. I plan replacing this little blurb with a […]

Hopefully no one is suffering from “Jerry overload”. Walt is busy becoming a home owner this week (welcome to the mortgage club) and Brian is working his butt off to get a promotion at work so that leaves me all by myself. Don’t worry though, for all you Walt & Brian fans, they will be […]
