Everyone's so dang impatient ;)

I am sorry to hear about your loss - I'm sure I speak for everyone when I ask you to please pass along condolences to the family and friends of your pastor, and please accept them as well.

Back on point - sorry about the delay. I was unavoidably detained over the last day or two, although for much less unpleasant reasons than yours. If you'd like, please post your reasoning for the last image, and then contemplate the next at your leisure....

Oh you devious man!

Sincere thanks, general for the condolences. I appreciate it.

Wow. What a pic. Oh you devious man!;^)

Allow me to contemplate for a while while I smile.

Cordially,

[Diamond]

Please allow me to also say that you and my other FRiends here are among the very few people who could make me smile at at a time like this.

(That pic is really fiendish:^)

Yesterday was one of the most gut-wrentching, glorious days I think I will ever experience this side of Heaven. I am completely spent and exhausted. I did get some fairly good sound and some fairly very good recordings (as far as recording on the fly with no re-mixing goes) I used up a ton of Kleenex. I have never seen anything in person like that in my entire life. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all giving from their whole heart in service and tribute at the same time. I am still stunned by the whole thing. If you heard it, the music alone would knock you off your feet. (Man, after that funeral, I'll be glad if they can find 6 guys to carry out my casket:^)\

Anyway, the answer to the the pic is, suprise, suprise; DESIGN.

You would never get outboard motors with bushings, drive shafts, rotors, universal joints and propellers simply by shaking up the parts in a box, even assuming that you had all the parts in the first place. Anytime I see a bushing, I know there's an engineer behind it somewhere:^)

Cordially,
