Does the World Need Another Blogger?

Well here I am! Shooting the proverbial arrow into space and/or jumping into the void with my eyes closed.
Please welcome me to the world of blogging. I've been in the residential construction industry for about 22 years and, as most people know, that machine has slowed to a barely discernable crawl. So, I'm taking some time to do something I've thought about for years, get my footprint on the web. Up until now, there has been no time to spare, but with the housing carcass starting to bloat and the vultures circling, the opportunity presents itself and after two weeks of trying to figure out how to turn on the computer, I'm finally putting some words into the unknown.
I'm not sure my wife likes the fact that I've been reduced to blogging, sporting a five day growth of beard and wearing salsa stained pajamas all day but I've put in my 5x10 work week for a long time and so far haven't run out of tostitos.
At any rate, I hope I have something of value to add to the already well established blog-o-sphere. It is rather like trying to hit the ground running while putting on your shoes for an old fart like me but over the years I've gathered a bit of wisdom about a thing or two and do love a good conversation, or fight.
Feel free to pitch in and clue me in. Or tell me to unplug my machine.
