[CLOSED BUSINESS]

[Capt' Brian]

Ahoy!

Well I don't know about you all, but I'm having a great weekend. Getting work done inside and outside, even managed to give the dog a bath! Absolutely awesome weather outside. Mid 80's, slight breeze, I just wish the pool was warm enough to go swimming.

One more day of fun and back to work you go, har!

 

[Waho]

I wish! I'm working currently and I'll be in tomorrow

Never ends!

 

[Capt' Brian]

Arrr, I know the feeling. This weekend I only have 2 caddies to make so it's as close to an easy weekend as I can get. I think it's time I take a day off though. On the bright side, I can work in a bathrobe and drink beer at work, ha! beat that!

 

[Waho]

I punch out at 11:06 and get paid until 11:30. After I'm moved, I'll be able to make it home and change into a robe and drink a beer and get paid for another 3 minutes!

Yeah, you win

Weekends going pretty good here. Thinking about going to town tomorrow to get a water cooler/dispenser since the water here sucks badly but I think I am going to have to settle down on the driving since I've spent about 600 bucks this month in gas.

Good day Crew! Cold but sunny here today. I counted two months left before I finally can get the heck out of here, forget about my boss and sail away on a deserted island with no phone and a Destroyer, a charger and my favorite juice. Sounds good!

Ahoy Capt'n & Crew,
It's been a while since I've visited the forum, just wanted to say hello and let you know that the Cutlass has been performing flawlessly for over 2 years now. It continues to be my preferred device while at home enjoying a cocktail or watching television.

 

[Capt' Brian]

Oh wow, that one sure is looking good for her age, well done! Spalted Koa? with B&W ebony ends?

The body is the Spalted KOA, not sure about the end caps. If you say that they are B/W Ebony.....then they are.
It's been a trooper, never has an issue at all.
What is the procedure these days for ordering one of the new models?

 

[Capt' Brian]

When I started the new batch this year I stopped taking the pre-orders and just made what I wanted to make. The last batch went very well and had very well received wood combinations so I believe I will continue to just make them with my own wood choices.

Right now I am making a small batch of 3.7v mods to keep busy until my DNA regulators are finally shipped. What the hold up is there I don't know, but fortunately the 3.7v mods are equally as popular as the regulated mods most of the time so it should make the people waiting for one happy.

When a batch is nearing completion I will start posting pics as always.

arrr

 

[majekh]

Sounds like things are continuing to go well for RSM, congratulations!
I look forward to seeing what you have available in the near future.

 

[Clairvoy]

good news, I'm waiting for a 3.7v model! I don't like this DNA hype

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ahoy me 'earties, happy Monday?

Been busy here, cruising at flank speed on this small batch of 3.7v mods, I am hoping I may even have them ready to go in under a weeks time. Still no word on the DNA regulators, guess it's time to pester them about it again.

Hope you all have a fine damn week! arrrr

 

[fright88]

Record time for a batch sounds good Cappy!!

Yeah, but it's such a small batch. A handful of Cruisers and the two prototype big battery Cruiser and Marauder.

Cappy is going below decks, night all.

arrrr

I am in the middle of relocating, but I will be around more after the new month begins. I have missed you all. Hope to catch up on all the happenings....been away far too long! - AK

Welcome back AK! Hope everything is well in your neck of the woods.

We saved your bunk for ya but the ration of rum is a whole other story I'm afraid...

 

[debinnv]

Awesome! I would imagine the 3.7 mods are a little shorter?

 

[Capt' Brian]

AHoy!

Wow, this week is going fast.

I put the second coat of finish on the mods last night, they will get another today and It's also time to start preparing the wiring for when they are dry. No word on the regulators yet and I never received the ones they were gonna send me for testing. Guess I will have to E-mail them and see whats up.

Later all, arrrr
