Default !!!!when hard work pays really pays off!!!!

Gosh darn Holy smokes!!! I'm above and beyond the feeling of winning the 6/49 and as a great mentor said to me years ago "Ahhh skip buying lottery tickets, just make your own lottery!", or when life gives you lemonade. My lemonaid took 15 years to juice and today the stand got built at the end of the driveway and the customers are quenched. I can count the chickens as they have hatched.

Too many details as to the what's and who's and why's and the novels worth of writing and the negotiating and troubleshooting and phonecalls and budgetting and phonecalls and troubleshooting and 18 hour days pretty much non-stop since August,, and just knowing that I was right the whole time and not crumbling under the weight of it all. And in this whole time I was paid from my own savings as the work is paid by performance and that performance has finally been graded with two word's,

Let's Start

There are some AO members that know a smidge of it all and will reap something in some capacity in it all (you know who you are) and there will be jobs created of a most interesting sort.

I can now sleep and think about fishing again.

Thanks you wacky wacky world of AO forums to give me a semblance of somewhere to go to unruffle the brain, the insanity of here kept me sane.

Awesome news Gustav! All your efforts must sure make those results all the sweeter I expect

Have you any personal rewards or treats in mind for yourself when you start falling into Brett Wilson's tax bracket?

We'll miss you when you start hanging out on the elite African safari and Florida deep-sea fishing websites instead of slumming it with the likes of us Neanderthals
