Well,
I'm a licensed Tugboat/Towboat Captain, (Master, Towing Vessels - Near Shore, Western Rivers and Great Lakes endorsements) but I haven't been behind a barge since about 1998-99.
I date back to the days of dial-up and Anthony Cotto's board, the Chicago Loop BBS others and was a charter member and contributor (like Bone) for the server upgrade of the original BEA, which took it from a text only board to the next step. Too bad it's not still fun like it was in the early days of it's existence.
Glad to be here and hello to all my friends (two of which know me and what I do in RL outside of this board - you know who you are!)
Carry on!
