Thanks guys- for the welcome and the suggestions. I want to pick up a bunch next week, try em out, try a few more out the week after then pick up a box of my favorite online. I will look into that journal to help make my decisions.

I am from CT by the way and commute to college. I am also an active member of licolnsonline.com so if anyone needs any information on ther Lincoln....
I hope to be able to help out on this board once I get the experience!

Regards

Dave
