Wake me up when they are done.
Rick Crawford

So you both subscribe to the concept that a great part of the journey is getting there. And it sounds like you 2 are making the journey last. In case you want it done faster, you should do what I did.

Get laid off from work and not be able to find a job for a year. That was early 2002. I started my TR6 project in June 2002 and didn't get work until March 2003. Lots of time to work on it and it helped keep my sanity while looking for work. Still took 3 years to get it done though (June 2002- June 2005)

Is there really a prize offered? And what are the odds on each of you to win?

Rick- Bite Me!

JW,
I'm in Huntsville. Not really Alabama, but that's where Rocket City is sited. If you really want a boring read, try anything by Morgenthau, the epitome of political science.
