Just wanted to let everyone know that my visiting brother (from Maine) and I visited Castle Creations in Kansas today. I got to meet Patrick and many of his staff, and they were all extraordinarily nice. Patrick himself took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to provide us with a guided tour of his facility where we got to see the parts, assembly (those expensive machines are impressive to watch in action), testing, etc. Really cool stuff! I wanted very badly to covertly fill my pockets with a bunch of goodies but the presence of the armed and large guards convinced me otherwise (just kidding); besides that's no way to repay a gracious host.
Despite my brother's lack of understanding the "geek speak", he too thought everything was quite impressive.
Thanks again to Patrick and staff for allowing us to visit!
