    You have been busy! Congrats! Welcome back!

    Prop2 is nearing completion with a serious design change giving it the required traction to be completed soon..

    As stated, Baggers and Coley have also surfaced, releasing a binary version of the PropGFX lite. (more data to be posted soon so that folks can take advantage of it.)

    We are nearing the end of the UPE expo season with the Norwalk, OH expo happening next month.

    all and all good stuff all around.

    I presented a photo-frame mod at UPEW powered by one of the EOL Propmod-US modules I bought from you.

    Great!!
    A friend of mine said to stick to them, because they grow so fast is you just blink you are doomed to loose someting..
    I'm doing my best to follow his advice, and I agree with him. My boy is almost 3 now, and every day there is someting new. In the first months the change is much faster.. enjoy the ride and try to get some sleep whenever possible!

    Very true and good advice! I held my 19 year old in my arms moments after he was born... I'm pretty sure that was only a month or two ago.

    Also, learn to enjoy everything! The stuff you think is horrible that you just can't wait until they grow out of it. Learn to enjoy all of the stages, even the uncomfortable stuff! (teething - teenage attitude)
