I hear ya, and promise I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I've just seen so many people dive in head first and lose interest almost as quick as the got bit but the bug. And it's the animals who suffer. I'm glad you're not gonna fall into that category.
I was out of the hobby a while too, it sure has changed. I started out around 99-2000ish and wow, what a different world. It's so much better now.
I use a website called iherp.com for all my tacking. Feedings, sheds, etc...etc...etc...
Thanks for your service
And thanks for not taking my reply personally. It's all about the animals for me...
