With a heavy heart and a major dilemma I am planning to cancel the sock off this weekend and move it forward to November.  I won't be able to do it with one reason my blogtv computer has decided to go on vacation to the repair shop (unimpressing the owner at this stage (happened Saturday)) we will be moving it forward to the month of Nov.  I will have a better date soon enough when I sort out my computer delima.  I am really sorry to have to do this but that is the way things go in life.

My blogtv show will also be canceled on Monday night, unfortunalty, until further notice.

Bad news, Daryl.  Hope it doesn't take too long to get the bucket of microchips going again.  I also hope this doesn't set the Frankenstein project back.  We don't want you to miss you dead line and we also don't want to miss any significant part of the the build process.

Daryl, I watched your last to postings on blogtv.  good stuff, very good stuff.

Thanx

I was afraid this was going to happen after Frobella told me your computer died.

As many computers as I've heard of dying recently, I'm wondering if there's some conspiracy. >.>
