First I want to thank you for your input...

It is amazing the welcome that can be found what most would normally be a villified sub-culture.

I will absolutely be taking your advice... As much as I want to push hard early, I know patience is paramount. I will forego the M. Hostilis until I have got a ride or two under my belt. I will also research preparing the freebase extractions.

I do look forward to relaying and sharing all my experiences with the good folks here as well. I feel like I am knocking on the door of my life's next big transformation, would nice to document my experiences.

Thanks again for all the info and the thanks to all the people that make this place what it is....

For now, I am off to absorb all the info I can from posts past, I will try to avoid any redundancy on the forum.   Thanks again everyone....
