How to get started

[bubblerboy64]

Thanks for your very helpful posts. I have been and will continue
to accumulate information. I will have to make it a point to attend
a BB gathering at some point in the near future. This will help
direct me. I would say that the next step in the process will be to
take either the path of the FC or the PT coaches. This will require
a little on hands. Again thank folks for all the interest and help.
