"Shopping List"

[djwalker60]

We'll I am going to stick my head out there and give a list of all of the items that I have gathered for our "interview" when the time comes. I have created a "check list" of items that I have gathered from all of my readings here and from other resources. This is by no means a hard core listing of items that everyone should have. But I thought I'd share what i have gathered. If I have missed something, or maybe I have too Much, Please let me know your feed back. Maybe it can help others. Thanks Fore reading and putting up with my postings..

 

Thanks Again
