[Robotgroup] hi from O-hi-O

[brooksdesign]

The more difficult question is how I'm going to get 1200lbs of machine lathe and bandsaw down there .That move will have to wait for next year .The boss is threatening to send me to Korea to install a vaccume cleaner turbine tester/balancer that I've been designing as part of my future debt as I am still in need of a real bathroom ,kitchen ,and the rest of the actual house for that matter .When I get back in September I will be camping in my shop again till December when I will most likley be back up here to start some other projects on the list .
