He didn't tell me that, he did tell me how he started the business and the way in progressed. He has worked hard and come along ways and has been through some dips and we may have a few here in there. It's normal, he wasn't trying to impress me, just being what i feel, Genuine.
I have done a few things, I have a US patent but never sold it. My patent is on tabacco smoke removal on aircraft and vehicles. I also invented a board game called North to Alaska. I still havce 20K pices in a warehouse from 1984. I know what he is talking about when you start a project and things are sometimes harder than you thin when you start.

Smoke removal system for vehicles
Abstract
A smoke removal system for a vehicle includes a primary smoke exit vent and a secondary smoke exit vent associated with passenger locations inside a passenger compartment of a vehicle. Each exit vent is individually, selectively operable such that only the smokers inside the passenger compartment need actuate the smoke exit vents to maintain the passenger compartment substantially smoke free. The primary exit vent may be included on an articulated arm which may be positioned proximate the smoker's head to create a capture zone that will directly remove residual or exhaust smoke exhaled by the smoker.

Summary
[Back To Top]
A Roll-and-Move travel boardgame that was apparently released in 1984 as a promotion for Yukon Sam Rest Stops.
Up to eight players attempt to successfully navigate the Alaska-Canada Highway from Seattle, Washington to Anchorage, Alaska. The object of the game is to arrive in Anchorage with the most money, which is found through panning for gold, visiting gold mines, and other events along the way. Hazards that players encounter during game play duplicate some of the real-life problems motorists may face driving to Alaska's largest city, such as icy roads, landslides, bears, and everybody's favorite, a boarded-up gas station in the middle of nowhere.
Solid production values here, with some colorful cartoon-style graphics on the Encounter Cards and game board. There's a prospector's "poke" containing some exquisite pewter playing pieces (a la "Monopoly") that include a moose, a jeep, a bush plane, and a dogsled, among others. The game has plenty of "Yukon Sam Bucks" provided in various denominations, along with a handy storage tray, and is topped off with a pair of substantial dice and a "Rainbow Road/Pan For Gold" spinner.
