Yeah, no kidding. But at least there are two of us working on it (so, it is
really 8 hours every 2 weeks, but only 4 hours for me). It's just one of those
things where everything else in life (can anyone else spell Karin?) intrudes, so
we cannot even make it every Monday night like we have scheduled.

Total hours = 80 so far (guestimation, but this includes specs) for our effort
(boy is that a small number). After 3 more years (until the next championship),
we could have another 600 hours in. :)

I also changed the subject on this Dave so that if people do not see your post,
maybe they will see this one.
