Well, it has been a year since Henry told me to "put up or shut up" on our way to SHOT show in the car and we partnered up (not in a one of us is wearing a dress way, which is fine if you are into that... I'm not judging, but this isn't that kind of partnership).
We are out of 18650 Rotary tubes, and probably will be for quite some time... delays are something I was really hoping to put a stop to. I now feel Henry's pain, and am developing a poor attitude regarding machinists and time. I'm thinking there must not be calendars in the machine shops, and if there are, our machinists are not looking at them. I blame political correctness. When I was young and full of **** and vinegar, we had girly calendars in the garage I worked in. Looked at them every chance I got... though, I guess it didn't help me figure out the date, but I digress.
Titanium lights are delayed. Read above. At least it shouldn't be long delay... Well, it took 9 years to convince Henry to do another run of them, so I guess a month or two delay isn't that huge... but it still bothers the ****ens out of me.
We have seen a few changes at HDS over the last year and I hope we continue to see more over the next year.
We now have our own corner on CPF (I still think this was punishment for me being a crotchety old *******) but here we are... enough reading to make Tolstoy's "War and Peace" seem like a short story.
Just wanted to give a thanks to you all (even you lurkers... yes, we know you are out there by looking at the post counts). If it were not for the HDS customers, I would probably be cleaning up human vomit in some hospital instead of cleaning up puppy vomit tonight at home... I'm not sure I made the right choice, but thank you anyway (and yes, I cleaned up the puppy spew with an HDS High Noon in my hand so I could find all the chunks).
I realize that sometimes my humor can be offensive and I may have stepped on some toes this last year. If I didn't offend you... well, just be patient, I may get to it this year.
