Thanks for the curiosity Jerry, needed a good reason to spend a few minutes typing and not just reading.

P.S. glad to hear that _Paralized_ is back at it too.

Update! lol, sorry guy's I've been MIA for a few months now... I do pop in to check on things but the time has mostly eluded me.

The job search went VERY well, I scored the integration job (ESCUSA.com if you want to check out how rich people like to spend water- sorry I meant money) The job is going extremely well and I've been putting in some serious hours. Last week was an 80 1/2 hour work week, slept alot on sunday.

I'm doing tech stuff the last two weeks after a stint of pulling wire (grunt work to prove I have good work ethic), the tech stuff is more interesting, since I excell at troubleshooting. I am currently on the "fast track" to client services, basically that means I have to learn every other position short of management inside of a year, but it lands me at the highest paying position short of a desk job.

The RC's are all parked for the time being, had to spend ~$1400 in new low voltage and cordless tools. But it looks like a good thing as lipo's are popping up and prices are falling. Hope they have the MMM issues worked out by the time I have some hard earned play money!

The Habbitat for Humanity house is still behind schedule, but my mom has been up here for a few weeks getting it back on track (wounder woman at 55 years old, she was a cabinet builder for a long time and could never leave the walls in the same place for long at her houses).

Hand is crap, finger is basically there for looks and may be getting a new nuckle when my Ins. kicks in this next few weeks, we'll see. I'm not sure if I can have the down time with the house coming up and all. I'm working around it for now.

Will throw up a few posts now and again as I find time, with the constant stream of raises I should see over the next few months I will be able to cut the work hours back and still make the money we need. Besides once I am an official "tech" I'll have a laptop provided and internet at all the jobs wink wink :)

Oh yah, and the motor got quite a nudge in design completion, with all the down time for the hand, and is not too far from a prototype. I'll find some time somewhere in the next few months to get it going.


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
