AILW Dude! Kudos! Huzzah!
I was somewhat disappointed that you had no pics of the fantastic augmentation you applied to your Hobie trailer. Man, you should have suspended that trailer from the hoist, and told the judges it was a petard upon which they could hoist themselves. Well, wait a minute... Maybe that's not such a great idea.
Hey, I'll leave it to you to come up with the ideas, and I'll just follow. What's that saying? Lead, follow, or get out of the way. I wanna follow the master.
Three thumbs up.
I'm gonna go to sleep tonight comforted with the knowledge that you and I and Mr. McRabbet have discoursed on matters, although I was able to add nothing to the conversation except that certain photocells are slow (inside joke to others reading).

Stop by any time, just call first to make sure I'm home- I'm retired with no schedule.
Alan,

Thanks, I'll look into that. So far the only ones I have found online were $30 for a 5' wide curtain and you need to add 20% to the required width due to the fan fold so this could run into some money.
Congratulations. You well deserve it.:eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc
Don't spend all the gift certificate in one place:rotflm::rotflm::rotflm:
Cheapest way to buy rip-stop nylon is to buy an old parachute canopy. If you can contact one of the riggers at Ft Bragg, they probably have some 28 foot flat wraps (same as USAF pilot chute, but used by sport divers) which are green, white, and orange; 33' tactical chutes (green or brown), or a 24' reserve (usually white) which are damaged or otherwise listed as not serviceable. A reserve chute would probably give you all the material you would need.
Just a thought

Congratulations on a very well deserved win, Alan! Your engineering, design and construction details are incredible. You have given us all great ideas, and have set the bar very high. I'm a (television) engineer so I play with electronics a fair bit as well as woodworking. I love the automation details you built into the DC. Like many others, I'd love to see the shop sometime. Do you think you could have a springtime open house one day for some of us to take a look?
Congratulations again! We're proud of the local win!
