| Subject: | Contributions Down By 21%... |
Dear Listers,
As of today, contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by 21%. I have a fund raiser each year simply to cover
my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income
to support the Lists and rely solely on the contributions of members to keep the
expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I
also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related
data so that in the event of a server crash or worse, all of the Lists and
the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter
of hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of
my personal time as well. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs
and I ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments,
make a modest contribution each year to support the continued operation and
upgrade of these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a contribution today. I also offer some incentive
gifts for larger contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Wite, you
can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the
continuation of these services:

Huzzah!
With the shop projects winding down, I finally got to work on the plane.
The wing construction table, after two moves, had become pretty
rickety, so I had plans to rebuild the table. I had installed an
electric hoist over the wing to raise and lower the wing panel during
the construction. This time, I used it to raise the entire wing off the
table. The saddles had only been marginally done, were improved. I
painted epoxy in the saddle and trowled in some epoxy with micro. I
then lowered the wing back onto the table. This will make the saddles
to be exactly shaped to the curve of the upper wing surface. Tomorrow,
I plan to rework the center box of the wing table.
More to follow.
