As I have noted before, April 1st has become a landmark day to me in my life.\u00a0 April 1st, 1996 was the first day of my new career in Battle Creek, MI.\u00a0 It was a wise choice to move to Battle Creek for me, as I was able to advance farther than I could have elsewhere and I was able to keep my government retirement (which I took advantage of in 2016).\u00a0 Also on April 1st in 2013, I formally took over Shorty’s Basement and created Volare Products.\u00a0 So that has been going on for these past 8 years.\u00a0 Significantly (for me, at least), I have now produced 90 different short kits and sold just over 5,000 of them.\u00a0 Of course, I owe my success to all of you that have been my customers.<\/p>\n

So what have I been doing today, on this anniversary?\u00a0 well, let’s see…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I worked on hand-making clutches – for stock and to fill orders.<\/li>\n
  2. I 3D-printed another batch of clutches<\/li>\n
  3. I repaired an Embryo, prepping it for Outdoor season<\/li>\n
  4. I discovered that the laser tube in my cutter needs replaced<\/li>\n
  5. I ordered another laser tube<\/li>\n
  6. I modified a plan for submission to a newsletter<\/li>\n
  7. I doped a propeller for a model<\/li>\n
  8. I modified an old 808 keychain camera for potential filming onboard a model<\/li>\n
  9. I took delivery of product for sale and ink to replenish my printer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s about all, but that was all before noon!\u00a0 There will be the packing of orders later and maybe some model building.<\/p>\n

    Stay tuned for whatever is next!<\/p>\n
