Been too busy lately and I miss you all!

AZ41 and Greener Earth Tech updates - Like other normal start-ups, we already ran into big startup hiccups. Someone bungled our mass manufacturing and we had to redo the batches, so we could not sell anything until September, and we were out of stock since April. Manufacturing should be a month, but our original manufacturer went bankrupt, and so we scrambled to look for another, but they bungled up the production (did not make according to specs) which made the product not as good as our original formulation. After long hours of meeting, we gave them second chance to make it right this time, and thus the delays and the headaches.

Am trying to build two other start-up companies. We are finally going to build commercial winery, and another one is to help farmers make their organic farming more profitable. We will announce that company sometime later.

Summer Vacation - Will be on combination business and vacation trip around the western states again, staying mainly at Spokane, Washington where my oldest will go to college for a Premed degree (a special degree for Premed only). Hope to enjoy Spokane and vicinities as well as find new potential clients.

So I will still be gone from the group. But I'll drop in time to time, as my dear wife got me an iPhone, so I could browse the group while I'm away from the base. It is lousy to post messages using iPhone, so unless it is one-liner respone, I'm not encouraged to respond.

Hope to be back when classes start in the fall.

I hope you are successful Joe on your venture.
My son was accepted also at UC San Diego.

I've been wondering where you were. Good luck on all of your ventures!

Good luck with your next batch Joe and enjoy your vacation.

Benny, feel free to pay us a visit while in San Diego. We're away from the coast though, so we're hotter during the summer and colder in the winter. I thought of you and Joe when watching "The Great Raid" this weekend about the rescue at the Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp.

Thanks for the invitation Phillips. I really appreciate that.
But each time that we go to San Diego our schedule is so hectic I don't have time to do what I wanted to do.
The time is always too short.
Thank you so much.

Am currently in parking lot along 395 in Spokane. Driving is strange, speed limit is 45 mph, everyone driving 30 mph. In california everyone would be driving min of 55 mph when speed limit is 45 mph.

Just visited the beautiful campus of Whitworth University. Spokane is generally more beautiful than sAcramento. No graffitti and very clean. Very few other ethnic people. Went to very expensive restaurant by the river last night, lovely night by the river, perfect ambiance for the family. Everything perfect until the main course! The beef must have been from a hundred year old cow and the Fresh halibut reeks of ammonia! And the wine is partially oxidized! To be fair, the service was great and the appetizer clams and oysters are delicious. I would have really complained about the main dish but I restrained myself or my kids wonderful experience would be ruined. The chef don't know how to care for their frozen fish so that it won't spoil and they may have served me the cheapest bottom rung beef and charged me premium price because I'm a tourist. I know good food and wine and I was disgusted at such place that supposedly had excellent reviews and recommendation. Am sure glad I bought some wines and enjoyed those at the hotel along with crackers and smoked salmon. So much for fine dining at fancy restaurant oy.
