  Mike,  There needs to be a like button on here for your posts. Also you need to set up a PayPal donate thing so that your worldwide friends and "silent" sponsors can help. too.  :-D

I think with a little help from my "friends" I'll figure it out.
Thanks Dynoroom and Sid.

This roller coaster is book worthy, not because of the technology involved but more on the experience of all that's been happening.
I've knocked on so many sponsors doors I actually recognize the people on the street.
2000 emails give or take. Fishing on a very bad day if you like. No bites.
All of a sudden the boat is starting to fill up.

I caught two Marlin in one day. :-D :-D :-D.
No details of who or what but they're local agencies of multinationals.
The "risk averse" virus is dying.
This time I'm getting pen to paper to go with the handshakes.

The one dude is even married to my cousin but he still hasn't come around. I'll get him this week or we won't be going to family reunions anymore. :evil:

The cousin's husband Mark called to say my package is ready for collection. :cheers:
Been a short week with all the national holidays but I guess things will get back to normal by Monday.

I have a bunch of components at Geraldo (my engineer) I need to sort out and my guess is that the liner will be on its wheels in a few weeks. :-D

I'm 60 tomorrow but still feel 19.

Bring back that old RMA Zook and i'll ride it like I stole it.
Miracles do happen.The S%^t  I've subjected my body to didn't stand a chance.
I'm upright, outworking Guido's kid and his partners.
No walking sticks even though I'm missing a Patella or two.

One mission, to finish this liner and run it, THIS YEAR!!!!!.

I've become "hardcore" and taking no prisoners, This keyboard is sticky and I'm burning it at 10h00 tomorrow. :evil:
Sponsors are all in and I'm in charge. :dhorse:
