With the basic stamps etc. we should be able to upgrade Pit Bull from manual
to some kind of automatic mode.
Could even put sensors so he would move when anyone got close.  Maybe even
growl first.

>   And with all of about 8 minutes left I was able to get the PitBull
rebuild proposal submitted. I was going to do the BlockHeads and the Crawler
but when I started uploading all the images I could tell their server was
starting to slow way down due to a what I'm guessing was a bunch of other
last minute stragglers like myself. The BlockHeads and Crawler could be done
any time as those require the least amount of actual cash to do. The PitBull
needs the most expencive parts so I went with the plan to get all new
valves, cylinders and a brand new gas powered air compressor that, if
needed, I could add an alternate electric motor to for home use. This way I
can do what I allways dreamed of doing years ago....Drive around town with
the PitBull riding on the tool box of the truck with its head barking in the
wind. That is part of the proposal for the days leading up to new years.
Dave and I use to load the truck with the weirdest stuff hanging out the
back and it was always a ho!

cost me my chance at getting these funded. Still waaay easier than the old
days. And I love not having to get up in front of all the other artists in
town and try and tell the review panel why my projects are so much better
that everyone elses. That part really sucked.
