Hello Stephen! Looks like we're practically neighbors, since I'm over here in New Hampshire - at least as far as the worldwide Hive community goes...lol!
I agree - @hivetrending, @thebeardflex, and the rest of the Hive Pizza crew are an awesomely welcoming bunch of peeps.
Now that you've told us a little more about yourself, I can recommend a few more communities you might want to check out. I mentioned Splinterlands, Hive Gaming, and HivePizza in my Love Sniper comment, and here are some others -
And again, please feel free to shout out if you have any questions, and here's a bit of !PIZZA & !BEER to welcome you aboard!
Thanks for the mention and welcome to Hive, Stephen!
