    Haha yeah at work. I've sold a few to people just by showing them the torture test video on YouTube lol. I actually left a message with rigid today to get a display going. But I'm mainly selling the m-series ones, although I have access to all of them. I'll be making an order for myself this winter hopefully.

    Will you have some to demo? Like the bigger bars? I've yet to see them in action at night.

    I'd have to buy them, but I'd like to yeah. Don't know when I'll outfit the truck. I'm taking a major payout pretty soon so it might be a bit.

    Right on. Well if I get them to send me a demo unit with multiple sized bars, I'll let you know if you want to check some out at night this winter if you havent bought some for yourself yet. I was thinking you'd like the m series, but black would look better with that orange wrap you're about to put on.

    Not sure everyone's musical taste, but I just got a few more scratch tracks in my email from the album I've been working on this year (and one reason I've been missing from here this summer) and man am I excited! Next album or ep I do, I'll be heading to San Antonio to do it for sure. It's amazing what having a truly professional engineer can do to bring your music to life. Much better than my old "basement" recordings. Lol

    Hell yeah Russ! I was so excited to find out that a band I'd followed for years, was started by you! Also I really did like your new solo stuff better than the band stuff. When are you having a show? We'll all come

    So I've felt connected to AK for a long time, traveled there in '09 to get married having never been there before, traveled there this summer out to the peninsula to fish for 2 weeks, and going back next year for our 5th anniversary.

    Question is - where can we see bears coming from Anchorage as base camp? I can't imagine there aren't can't-miss bear viewing in early August somewhere within a day's drive from Anchorage. We're doing Denali in a day, doing the Whittier cruises again, but I want to see some bears, dammit.

    (PS - saw lots of bears out around Cold Bay this year but doesn't count since my wife wasn't along, lol).

    Me out by Cold Bay a few months ago...can't wait to get back.
