2x annual salary for each new member.
10x annual salary for our 'retention' bonuses.
100x annual salary for net increase in # of hits each year.

AND, the annual salary is doubled each year.

Zero times ... equals ... , eh?

...since we had a layover at L.A.X., I wanted to be prepared.  I've heard that can be a fairly scary place.

 LOL! Don't be "LAX" in your preparations; I live within atlatl range of the airport!

 You guys crack me up when you're not amazing me with your creations. :) BTW, howsabout some updates on the Brooke and Monster Mortar? It's been a while, unless I missed something...

     Victor3,   Maybe you missed that post from mid-Feb. called "Kitchen Table Show and Tell".  The latest Brooke update is at the end of that thread.  http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,165469.msg1098752650.html#msg1098752650

     We have been doing a lot of that wood work lately on our final prototype which becomes the "Company Gun" and sales sample.  We are making only four in the first batch as business has slowed a bit since last summer.  As for "le Mortier Monstre", well that had to go on the back burner, so we could take care of customer equipment.  Our blacksmith says the French style linstock and the shell hoist are coming along fine and maybe will be finished by month's end.  We will be sawing up lots of landscaping timbers this week and hope to have the platform and mortar bed finished by next Monday except for exposed hardware and painting. 

     Afraid you missed your chance; I'm out of atlatl range now, because that Honolulu trip was back in '94 when I could afford it!

Regards,

Tracy and Mike
