MOTM

The truck was loaded up yesterday and 1000s of MOTM parts are on the road to 
Indiana. It will take until Nov. 15th to unpack, sort, inventory and store the 
parts so that kitting can begin at the remote site. There are ~90 kits that I 
already had 'made up', all that is needed is gathering the 12 bags of parts + 
manual and placing with a panel in the bubble bag. Those 90 kits will ship 
first.

The kit backlog is about 450, which includes ~130 kits for the '480/'485. I will 
ship the first 30ea of these 2 kits, the remaining will ship remotely. At it's 
peak, the kit backlog hit ~720 kits which was oddly the last day of June :)  So, 
I managed to ship 280 of those all by myself but it was time to call in the 
cavalry.

My focus until the Christmas break (Dec. 15th is the last day *I* ship, but the 
remote site will ship past that) is assembled modules and '300/'310 kits. During 
my so-called "break" (Dec. 15 to Feb. 1) I will get the MIDI-CV converter ready 
for production, and then turn R&D time to the uSeq CPU board (the other pc 
boards are already done, as well as the front panels).

I strongly believe that by Feb. 1st, there will be NO KIT BACKLOG and by March 
1st, NO BACKLOG AT ALL!

There are still *many* MOTM module ideas which have been sitting idle due to 
lack of my time. I look forward to next year, being able to get many of them out 
in the field.
