RV Hotline Update

Hello and happy holidays to everyone in RV Land! This is to serve as a notice that I'm too busy to produce the Hotline. Therefore I'll be taking a break from producing and distributing the Hotline for the rest of the year. If you've followed the Hotline you may recall that I lost my regular "day job" back in October. I decided to try my hand at becoming a freelance Web programmer. It seems as though that has become too successful. :-)

This is both good and bad. It's good because I am still able to put groceries in the fridge for my wife and family but bad in the sense that I don't have the free time available that I used to have to be able to compile and send out the news to all of you dedicated subscribers.

Between my new work situation and having a baby (our third) last month I simply don't have the time to peruse and compile the news from the RV World and produce this newsletter.

I am still committed to the experimental aircraft industry as I continue to run and maintain the ExperCraft simple Log system. I also am still very excited about producing and distributing the RV Builder's Hotline.

The reality is that I must put it on the back burner for the next couple of months until I can again find the time to be able to do it properly.

Please bear with me as I figure out the proper way to balance this endeavor with the rest of my responsibilities. E-mail me with your thoughts, opinions or ideas.

Otherwise I am sure that early in the New Year I'll be able to get back to producing and publishing the Hotline and having it continue to help everyone keep on top of what's hot and what's happening in the world of experimental aircraft construction and aviation.

Thanks for reading. Please have a safe and happy holiday season!
