Love the new avatar, PW.

* Adam went to a "Beerfest" yesterday afternoon, in the 100 degree heat and, naturally, was up half the night with a splitting headache

Mornin' cep, Adam. :ciao:

Thanks Adam. I occasionally forget that having quit drinking isn't all bad.

Not bad thanks, liv. Thanks for asking. The machine was delivered to the strawberry farm for tests a couple of weeks ago, and I've been driving there most days to measure its performance and fix things when they go wrong. Over the next three weeks I should get an idea of how many of these machines the farmers want to buy. Assuming they do want to buy them, I then have to worry about whether we can make enough of the machines in the time available, and at a price that allows us to actually make a profit.

I'm half inclined to quit it myself, lately, vm, or at least make some personal rules regarding when and where I do it. A beer or two at dinner or in the chat room is pleasant. A few dozen beer samples out in the sweltering heat, followed by hanging out in a friend's living room while all his fiance's friends and familes smoke pot around me (the smoke hurts my head) is a recipe for pain. :headache:

I can feel the Russian army rolling through my head...

984,815 Will you make a commission on any strawberry-picking machines the farmer buys? Because you totally should, what with all the work you've put into this project. You at least should get a nice, fat bonus. :yup:
