MOTM

I was able to ship small orders out today. I will mail (or wife will) a few more tomorrow.
Mainly, orders that need MOTM-900 supplies (I'm about to make up 10 kits).

After putting in 18hr days, EVERY DAY since Jan. 2nd, I'm pooped. I tried to ship as much as I
could. Some of you will no doubt be P.O.'d that nothing has shown up for you in like 2 MONTHS.
Believe me, I know. Contrary to popular belief, I did not finish Ghost Recon and Castle
Wolfenstein while eating bon-bons. Rather:

a) with JH and OC, designed, pc fabbed, designed sheet metal AND tested 6 new modules
b) shipped 44 assembled modules, reducing the backlog by 50%
c) ordered over $13,000 worth of parts
d) with help from Stooge Larry, designed new NAMM flyer (photos, retouching, etc)

SO, there is still plenty of work to be done BEFORE the 6 new modules are ready.

a) assembled backlog to ZERO
b) kits backlog to ZERO
c) CEM chip backlog to ZERO

This will take until about Feb. 10th or so. THEN, the new stuff (and the new website) will
magically appear, just so I can be loaded up again :) Not that *I* complain. I just ask for
patience. My intentions are good. Remember, I go have a family (well, I hear noises at the bottom
of the stairs, and food is missing) AND a "real job" as well. I think I'm doing pretty darn good.
But, I also know that my lead times are stretching out. The MicroModules will help as they have
1/2 to 1/3 of the parts of  regular" modules. Meaning less labor to kit AND to assemble.

I will scan and post up the NAMM flyer before I leave. I will have NO email, or phone until next
Wednesday the 23rd.

Hey, no problem Paul.  I'm sure I speak for most when I say we understand
and appreciate all your hard work.  This MOTM hobby has been a great
learning experience, for which I thank you, and which I hope continues well
into the future.  The new modules will be great addition to the lineup and
are well worth the wait.

Good luck at NAMM! See how many pics you can get of famous (or infamous)
persons wearing MOTM hats.

peanuts)

Congrats Paul on all that you have accomplished.  You are an inspiration to
us all.  Have a great time at NAMM and take lots of photos   ...especially
the ones of famous people with MOTM systems in the background. :)

Off to drill some more holes and try and get that SKB case back fabbed up (I
have not forgotten).
Last of parts should arrive for MOAJI prototype tomorrow

You embarass me Paul. After 8 hours of work my pudding-like brain 
can't figure out how to patch a simple S/H sound! Though I would like 
to get a MOTM module every week it's just well that I don't, since my 
girlfriend has been giving me strange looks when I refer to ModZilla 
(my MOTM) as if it were a person...She really looked at me sideways 
on Saturday when I spent the whole day creating a free-running patch 
on my MOTM, the MS10 and the MS20. I called it MODZILLA vs. KORG

You're doing great by me. Hang in there and best of luck at NAMM.

Cheers,

Richard.

2) I always like Mothra vs Godzilla
