Subject: Stooge panels stuff

I know I have been relatively quiet lately. Between the last two weekends,
I have worked 35 hours (on top of my regular work) in the Chrysler
transmission plant putting new electrical facilities in service (pays a
little better than Stooge Panels, Inc.) <snicker> This has been one busy
month.

Stooge panel progress:

Almost all the invoices are out. Just a few are left and I hope to get them
done tonight. Mostly, it is the SKB case backs that are not yet invoiced
(more on that later).

I owe myself some recreation. So, after church, Mrs. Hendry, Mr. Harley
Davidson, and I and going to tie ourselves up in a day long threesome
stopping only for fuel and refreshments.

All the metal has been ordered for some time for everything except the SKB
case backs. My prototype design was lost by the powdercoat shop. And, my
notes are not quite good enough to be 100% sure of the design without the
prototype. So, I have to get my hands on another SKB pop-up case and start
over again. There are many fit issues with that case and I want it to be
perfect. So, I will be ordering a new case and getting that work design
work tweaked and metal in process. It is completely different metal than
anything I have used before. It will be considerably heavier gauge than
stooge brackets. I don't want it to feel flimsy. The good news is that
when I get done with it, my SKB pop up will be for sale and will be supplied
MOTM ready with a 2U tall power supply and connector for an additional pop
up case SKB case.

After all the invoices have been sent out, I will send a, "If you don't have
an invoice, contact me now note." So, that way, if I missed someone, we
still have plenty of time to rectify the situation. As always, I have extra
metal on order for that sort of stuff.

Thanks from Dave and I for everyone that has ordered. This run has been
more challenging than the rest. Normally, we have added 3 panels when we do
Stooge panels. However, due to all the DIY work, and all that neat stuff
you have you want to mount up into your MOTM systems, we have 15 new DIY
designs. That of course, was the primary goal for Stooge panels when Dave
started it.

Thanks to everyone who has already paid promptly. And, those few who don't
have their invoices, do not worry. All is well. I am almost finished.
