Back for a while

#1

Post by sal »

Hello out there. It seems that my travel schedule combined with new product development has kept me away from the forum for a while. My apologies.



"Running a business is like being a salmon. One is always swimming against the current. Occassionally one must navigate up a waterfall. But only dead fish go with the flow".



Lately, there have more than a fair share of "waterfalls".



Eugene was, as always, a fun show.



It will no doubt take me a couple of weeks to catch up on all of the posts that I'ved missed. I have noticed that the group (forumites?) seems to be somewhat self moderating and Carlos has certainly been a big help.



I must say that I'm proud to be part of the forum. Thanx much.

Great to see you back on the forums. Since you have been working hard, it appears that you can answer all pesky questions about new products.

Welcome back Sal! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

You can be expecting a package from me very
soon ; it's for you and the R&D people to
look over. After 3yrs hard use, I retired
"Talon" ( my cricket ) for another one
( can't get enough of those crickets!!! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> )
so you folks could see what one looks like after REAL HARD USE! My current EDC is my new
SE cricket & PE jester ( thats some real good
packaging Sal! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) I have relegated the SE
cricket to "self defense" only & PE jester to
daily cuttin' chores. Good knives & good people at <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

So many Spydies! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> So little money! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Welcome back Sal!

great to have you back to chat again. And just in time to hear of my latest project, new handles for the cricket.

Slowly making SS ones at school, almost done 2 sets of clear plexiglass ones, only the clip to tap now.

Welcome back Sal!

You must know that "new product development" time is something that none in this Forum would begrudge you!
