Heya GMC!

Very happy to report that our new heating system is installed.  It's
warm enough for some of our members at the Detroit Flyhouse (trapeze
performance with aerial silks!  http://www.detroitflyhouse.com/  ) to
practice in the common area.  We are getting comments that it's often
warmer in our warehouse area than the front offices.  All without
breaking the bank and going with a fully legit contractor.  In the end
we went with a more efficient form of forced air heating.  I would
have liked a combination of forced air and radiant tube, but it just
wasn't in the budget.

I thought of you the other day.  A friend of ours is considering a
membership at i3.  He has several pinball machines and repairs them
for a hobby.

Working diligently on our next installment for Signal!  More of the
FIRST robotics story, this time told from the perspective of
robot-building high school students in Metro Detroit.
