     I'm working as fast as I can! :) Right now I am in the middle of the two small logic displays, center foot ankle, octagon ports, outer feet, outer feet drive, and center foot caster mechanism. I work a little here, then a little there depending on what I can get away with, what strikes my fancy, and what stuff is available. Lots of work. I am successful at doing something almost every day. 
       I am especially anxious to get the gears/ pulleys that I ordered last month that were back ordered for five weeks. Then I can plunge ahead on the drives. I am probably going to have to get someones considered recommendation for the motor speed controllers for the drives. Be it you, Eric, Paul, Gray, or someone else. I hope there won't be a five week delay when I order those. Everything seems like it is rushing at me since Wolf welded the outer feet for me several weeks ago. Before too long, I will be involved with wiring and the creation of a control schematic.
       Oh, I almost forgot about working on the dome drive. I got the bearing to turn last week, and today, I think I have arrived at a workable dome/ bearing interface. It's kind of funky, but it seems OK. I want to show it on Thursday. 
       Well now, I have to go to the HEB for Whitney. Sorry I didn't see your e-mail about the photo shoot until about an hour ago. I tried to call you, but you didn't pick up. Tomorrow is Whitney's play. Maybe after it gets over. Got to go. Talk to you later.
