Many, Many Thanks Julian
Most, if not all understand the "Juggling" routine.
Regards
James

On Sun, May 8, 2022 at 15:26, Julian N4JO Can't please 'em all, can ya?! Thanks, Pat... I'm just trying to stay in communication, and not leave good patient folk hanging out to dry with no news. I know people are excited about QRP Labs kits, and the service Hans is providing us; I am too, which is a large part of the reason I try to help out, but this last year has been a bit topsy-turvy, job-wise, and I've slipped a bit while delivering on my enthusiastic promises. The longer-than-usual winter here in Minnesota caused some unanticipated challenges too. As software manager at my new job I've been involved in an amazingly aggressive hiring spree, too: I've been interviewing, onboarding new talent and setting up new activities... very time intensive. I was planning on going to FDIM this year, but can't even manage that :-(
In general, however, I've "reached the altitude at which the cabin crew can start to deliver cabin service" and the backlog is shrinking.

You are the man, Julian I don't care what anyone else has been saying bad about you.

No explanation is needed although appreciated I am sure. Your assistance in trouble shooting here and actual repair at home goes way above and beyond. I know those who have benefitted from your help are very grateful.

I have a couple of outstanding repair/build project for my friends here, so rather than address each one individually, and in the interests of transparency, here's a general status note:
I've just returned from a week-long business trip to California late last night. It's Mother's Day, and the XYL deserves some attention. I'll get back to the bench tomorrow evening. Some awaited parts have arrived, so hopefully I should be able to turn around those units awaiting them.
As a gentle reminder, please be aware, that I do this as a volunteer, and I'm not retired, which means that while I can (and choose to) do the work for essentially zero cost, my time has to be divided up between my job, my family, and my commitment to you all on this list. My job has been more demanding than I expected it to be, so I am later in completing some commitments than I had anticipated, for which I apologize. In accepting future commitments I will be clear to communicate anticipated timelines, so as to make you aware of your options.

Julian, N4JO. p.s. If anybody cares, my new job entails working on software development for an autonomous flight control system for be used first for small cargo aircraft (e.g. Cessna 208B Caravan), and later for privately bookable flights for 4-6 passengers (think "flying regional Uber") using a custom electric aircraft currently in development. I'd be happy to share more privately: it's the dream job of a lifetime, the capstone project of my career. But I still love amateur radio, and especially supporting QRP and kit-building, so despite being busier than a one-armed paper hanger, I'm not giving up on y'all. =============
