Hmmm...yes...in my case, that would be the 
"having done"; and not presently "am".  It was 
great fun while it lasted. A crushing divorce 
cost me the shop and attendant tools, which it's 
never been financially responsible to 
replace.  Things change in life; and it's 
important to know when chapters open and 
close.  I'm very glad that there are those who 
still "do"...leads to some particularly marvelous exchanges here.

Best.

Horace
