Thanks for the kind words. I couldn’t be without my Herbie’s tube dampeners. A very worthwhile tweak and highly recommended.

Thanks to you also. Being retired brings the advantage of more time being afforded toward the hobby.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
I’ve learned over the years that the more successful one is, the more one comes under attack from the "lookers on." Selling for me was like a sport. The more I practiced and the more I applied myself, the more successful I became. I just out-worked and out-learned the other guy. Money wasn’t an issue. I began to look at the money earned as nothing more than a scoreboard reflection of my effort and service to others. Even though I was a 100% commissioned independent contractor, I never thought about the money. I just knew that if I did the right thing for other people the money would come. And it did. The "lookers on" never grab hold of that concept.
There are people who look at successful people through gauze covered eyes who would LOVE to see the successful fail. It justifies their own failure. We can apply that thought to a couple of individuals who have posted in this, and also the RED fuse thread in the past. They love to tear at the seams of the dreams and efforts of others.
It takes a degree of maturity to be genuinely happy for the successes attained by others. Hopefully, this will give us a little insight into the stale thinking of those who refer to someone like Ted Denney, chief designer at SR, as a "snake oil salesman," or myself as a "shill" for any manufacturer. It is THEY who have a serious problem, not the likes of Ted Denney or myself.
