mgbinspect Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 I must take a moment to thank all of my fellow home inspectors and friends, here at TIJ, for all you do. We each have our strengths and weaknesses. It's priceless to have a place where we can come to learn from our peers and share what we know. And, I can't think of any other site where the brain-storming and comradery happens in such a civil and gracious manner, seasoned with a lot of mutual respect and good humor. 2011 has been an interesting year, and I know a lot of you have been through some fairly rough times. But, hard times are far better for us than comfort. It's the tough times that force us to discover who we truly are and come to understand what we really want and need. In that respect, the last few years have probably blessed us all beyond our ability to measure or truly appreciate. And, I'm sure that each of us can make a dollar go twice as far as it did a few short years ago. That alone is a significant mile post. Please know that I appreciate EVERY home inspector here, and consider each of you a great and valued friend and invaluable consultant. I wish all of you the best year you've ever had. [:-party] Happy New Year, brothers! [:-party]
Bain Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 Happy New Year! And I suppose I should apologize in advance for any drunken posts with incorrect spelling or photos of nude, crazy women that I may post later from my mobile.

islander238 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Happy New Year to all of you at TIJ. I know I don't post much, being a newer inspector and all, but I read and reread this forum looking to improve my inspections, knowledge, marketing and customer service. When I come back from a job, I check my "surprises" with TIJ. When I have a moment, I'm taking a look around. I feel that I know some of you just through your posts. I want to thank all of you for your experience and professionalism. This forum is head and shoulders above "other" forums. The gang hanging around here is knowledgeable and relates that without being condescending or spiteful. You really offer help without the fluff. Your contributions are appreciated and you are setting the bar for the next generation of home inspectors. I wish you and your families a happy, healthy and safe New Year.

Tom Raymond Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 This forum is head and shoulders above "other" forums. There's other forums? Really? Have a happy new year everyone. Be good. If not, be careful!
Jim Katen Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I wish everyone here a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. (And I have a request of the other moderators. Please don't take down Bain's pics until I've had a chance to see them.)
Greg Booth Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Safe and Happy New Year to all................Greg.
kurt Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah, where are Bain's pics? (Happy New Year to everyone too.........[:-eyebrow)

mgbinspect Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah, where are Bain's pics? Huh? Well, I received them anyway, but am under strict orders not to release 'em. I don't think Bain will mind my saying they're pretty dang hot though... [:-hspin]
Erby Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Dang, I scrolled all the way through looking for the pics and couldn't find a one. Personally, I don't think he was sober enough to actually post any, IF he was sober enough to take any. Click to Enlarge 41.06 KB
Robert Jones Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Damn, he left all that good food on the grill!
Bain Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I just KNOW I posted the photos here, after which I sent a few to Mike. In my . . . slightly disoriented condition, however, maybe I THOUGHT I posted the photos here but actually stuck them somewhere else. But where . . . ? At least I haven't been arrested yet. That's definitely a good sign. I did learn an important lesson last night. The police frown upon extreme kayaking in hotel-lobby fountains.
Robert Jones Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I better start checking YouTube for this kayaking adventure.
