Has your project ever been derailed?
Well, this is due to college, kinda, well my daughter needed a car for school, so, we gave her my work commuter car. So, folks always demand pics, so here is my sacrifice. What have you had to give up, and prolong the project

Tornado!
In all seriousness, my project got derailed for about 6-months, due to an EF-2 tornado hitting my home on 4/3/12.
It was a bad time! $80k plus in damage to house, but my workshop with my RV project didn't get touched. My neighbors house is now a dirt lot, so I am thankful my dogs are OK (they were home and rode out the storm), and that my house was repairable.

The only thing that has temporarily derailed my progress is business travel. 
It is amazing how taking a week or two off can totally kill your momentum on the project.
Next week I'll be in SF at Oracle OpenWorld. The good news is I should be able to start cutting my panel when I get back (Dynon COM radio is finally going to ship!). |
