You know,....back in the 80's I had compaq computer and I used to write small programs for fun. Today it dawned on me that this build is like that....because of the "if" and "then" lines of code. If this, then that!........I be damned if this build isn't the same freaking thing! "If" this is here "then" THAT WON'T WORK!
A long long time ago a wise documenter once said....I would never, ever think about saying this and for sure would never ever in a thousand years admit to biting off more than we can chew, but......."We damn sure have our mouth full"(I thought that was a good one). I was thinking that exact same thing at that time; however, I think we are well on our way having all the hard parts figured out.
To be honest I/we way underestimated how much work it really is to this. I think between who has helped in this process (JT, Bodean, CT, Fergie Ferg, Bossman,...others I'm sure I forgot) that there is alot of knowledge amongst the group, granted not in linking a rig, but a lot of knowledge in general. This project has really stretched that. There have been countless hours reading threads, looking at pictures, and asking questions to people who have been here before us. This has been an eye opening/learning experience for sure .
I think Bodean has been a little perturbed at us (lol)....we usually work a little, drink a little, repeat. Well....it hasn't been that way!!! However, I think we are about a week away from that point!!! Hot Dam!

a mouthful?....
Man, I'm blown away at what all y'all have accomplished since June, 2015! That's some genuinely-serious planning/fabrication/buying/building right there........
JRob and JttmfT are both on vacation next week. I'm planning on wrapping this project up while they are gone. Bring your beers and smokes and come help...
Oh hell yes. I'll bring my welder.
I'll e-mail you the calculator spreadsheets...standby.
Is FC your welder? If so, PLEASE bring him!
I'll bring two buckets and wash it when you are done.
Y'all are killin' it. I'm so envious. Mine goes under the knife starting the end of this week I hope. I'm using your's as inspiration, Jrob!
Been working every night while JttmfT and Jrob have been on the beach. I done went thru a tank using this welder and I am just a few hours from having this bitch knocked out. Thanks for all the help Cottonland...
