ArVee,
that is what one of the meetings is about and with a steel supplier no less so our costs would be even less.
That one is definitely of high interest. I am driving up Tuesday morning to meet with them, staying overnight and on Wednesday going to my other long time friend's about the Powder industry. He is a really nice guy and would do anything to help, which is the kind of friends one needs. I want to drive back home Wednesday, a five hour trip so I want to get started early on Wednesday with Raj so I can leave in the afternoon. He will likely be disappointed we don't have time to go to dinner.
But as you say, the first option would be sweet, but I really am not upset at all. I only wanted to leave on my own terms when I was ready so this is all new to me.
Hopefully something works out between these two and one other that is not quite ready but waiting for me. I would need to develop a production line for an entirely different product using 16 ga. CR steel , shear it, bend it and package it for shipping.
Must be efficient and accurate.
Another long time friend called me about it and said I was the man for this project. I like it as well.
So, hopefully something generates for me. I would like to do all three actually. I wonder if I can pull that off and make about a third of my salary requirements form each, thus splitting up my costs amongst thee companies? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
That would be sweet. I'd be busy and really content.
Now that's a thought.......
the best,
micro....
