That's supposed to say "Registered"!

Hope you and your son can make it man.
It's actually supposed to say 'subscribed'...where's spell-check when you need it?
I'll just have to put one of my other projects on hold, again. I hope we can both make it. He's about to turn 21 so he'll learn some skills that he can use the rest of his life. I know there is a lot of free information out there, on the internet and in books, but he may never get the opportunity to take a class like this where he will get the hands-on training and meet like-minded adults, and not those skater punks he hangs out with...just kidding, he's a good kid.
