So you got all those tires sewed into your clothes yet? Man, I don't know how I would deal with having all my equipment along with all the owed $$$ disappear. I'd think it would be tempting to go Mad Max on whomever the local representative is. You seem a lot more mellow about it. Better man than I..........

The ONLY thing I miss about the Central Vally was the scrap yards and there was great metal yards in Fresno and Merced. It was staggering the weird stuff you'd find like those Cat(bumpers?) cast offs. You just take stuff like that for granted until you move where it's not. The best score recently was a barn sale, and I wish I'd gone back. But unlike you I don't have the space and being close to the ocean rust is ever present. I already have more material than I can store or have projects for in my garage space. But I miss having the space and raw material like you have.

Thanks for sharing your project(s).
The comnpany was Kuwaiti owned They had contacted me through an at the time distributor of mine for my freight elevators I built 2 for them then went over to supervise the install then spent 6 weeks re designing them to suit the changes their customer needed then an agreement transpired so I set up a factory there so I guess that I would be the only local representative Where I made my mistake was in not renewing my passport and going back to ship the stuff my self, that and if I had I could have pleaded a case in front of their high courts. Since I was also a Member of the Kuwait engineers society if I had wanted to be snotty about it I could have had their membership flagged as well but that has never been my way Just move on and eventually things come full circle.
