Time to give credit where credit is due. I have a buddy, going on 25 years now. He was around with Phaedrus I, and saw the project languish in my garage for nearly 10 years. One day, over a year ago he said, Ron, why don't we just commit to every Sunday morning, working on Phaedrus for 3 hours for a couple of months and see what happens? I said OK. I told him look, a couple of months is nice but I don't want to get you excited, it will take a lot longer than that to do what i'm thinking, you may not be happy. And I can't ask you to hang around longer than that. He said, lets just get started and see...
So here it is almost a year later. Haven't missed hardly a Sunday, just a few for Holidays, or family things. And he's still on board. I don't see any way I would've stuck to this discipline without him. Knowing every Sunday he'd be knocking on the door, kept me from sleeping in, and kept me working thru the week acquiring parts etc, for the Sunday session. Heck of a guy. He'll never read this, he's not on line. But it needed to be said.
Oh yeah, did I mention, he paid for the powder coating?
