Hi Bob, Knowing we both don't lack in words and commitment to defend such, and both of us of age having a "to-do" list requiring another hundred years, we both must make a "not-to-do" list since while it is not hard to prioritize items in the "to-do" list, the execution of the ordering is hard :) A dialog of "sense of community" between us is only viable if it is needed, and presently in regard to SI and IH it is not. If the situation changes to make it so, and that would be unwelcome, the option to include me in any process is available after you tape into your own resources, and that I'm sure would be a worst case event causing Matt, Phil, and Paulie to go on a hunger strike until you stop talking to me :) Luckly John would not join I think, for a 98 pound meatload could cause you to loose the ability to listen to "dashboard lights" again :) ... moving to other posts here: "Panasonic bike uses regenerative braking" After 50 years passing without me riding a bicycle, I tried last week, and found untrue the saying one never forgets how to. Something about me being top heavy like you are also, but as that other saying speaks about "use it or lose it" the built in gyroscope in my brain turned off. "... still missing the boat when they don't use diesel engines." I seem to recall the California market is large and too hard to satisfy the higher emission requirements, so that prevented a US market entrance. "Imagine what Bob has in mind for the 8 1/2 foot by 48 foot roof of his car hauler. Except that the cost of enough solar panels to cover it would be enormous..." You could contact a start-up company doing new research and tell them that you have the mechanical ability to become a alpha/beta test site to help them transfer lab testing into the real world. If so they could provide you with what cost a million dollars to produce to have you use to save on your gasoline cost to power your car hauler. Doug
