It is worth the money

I received the replacement stuff sacks from Outdoor Research(OR) this week. I wished all companies were as accommodating as OR. They sent me replacements for the ones that I told them had problems and they sent replacements. They didn't even want the old ones back to verify that the problems that I reports was actually what was wrong.

I will continue to do business with a company that has such a good guarantee. They really do have on infinite guarantee - and no questions asked.

Not sure if I will survive

It's been 2 weeks of the 12 hour days and I'm am really fried. My body is getting to old to put these hours in. We have made reasonable progress on the project but we are now to a point where everything is waiting on everything else. We have a deadline of Aug 2 to produce output for the vendor so that they can freeze the configuration. I think we will make it, that is if the tech lead can be left along long enough to produce what I need to complete the process.

On the bright side I only have one more week of long hours this month and then only 2 months left. I am REALLY looking forward to the planned pack trip the first week of October (8 - 11). Then it will be production launch for the first part of the project (yuck). If all goes well the launch "should be" uneventful but, we all know that Murphy likes to hang around during a production launch.
