Good On Ya! I just transitioned to the pipes myself. I can't say it enough , Man what a ride! I am glad your psyched. Like you I did not start to fulfill my dream until later in life, I am just over 40. My parents gave me a PC when I was in high school and due to other tangents in life I never took it up seriously. Now I have and I am loving it. I'm glad that your experiencing the same kind of pleasure that I have. Seems to be a common theme when you really commit to it. Every step is a victory and it keeps you going. Sure there are times you will be frustrated, have had many of those but once you make a break through its onward and upward! Just remember that there temporary frustrations but lasting joy and fun!

Good luck and keep on with it!!
