Eldon - I looked at your system on your Butt-Buggy at Portland a number
of 
years ago (I think it was Portland) and was going to order one from you
and 
then you announced the termination of the business. (oh darn). If you do

offer something in the future I would jump right to the front of the
line if 
it was simple enough for me to build. It was sure a nice system.
