    If at all possible, if you can find the crimpers, I would really like to have the Silver Cables by the end of next week for the LSiM demo at my house.


    Don,

    Ben made me a set of silver IC's last year and I think they're great. If Ben can't get yours to you by next week for the LSiM demo, I'm willing to loan you mine. Let me know.

    Canada can have him, consider it a donation. Do we get a tax write off?

    One thing that Canadians definitely have over us, hands down, is their National Anthem.

    "Star Spangled Banner" vs "O Canada". No contest.

    Doesn't mean you Canuckaneers don't bear watching, but after viewing that video ........ you're being upgraded to "OKAY" !


    ..... still going to keep an eye on you, though.

    The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
    Sorry about that.

    That's why "THEY" are working on shifting the earth's magnetic poles to correct that unfortunate situation. :eek:
    "Last week, a report from the Russia's Ministry for Extraordinary Situations (MCHS) warned that the weakening Earth magnetosphere was allowing "poisonous space clouds" to enter deep into Earth's atmosphere."
    http://www.naturalnews.com/030996_bird_deaths_pole_shift.html#ixzz1XaJZ3DDJ

    And where do you think those poisonous space clouds are headed ? :eek::eek:

    After hearing "La Murchshay", though ... the possiblility does exist that they'll be redirected to France. :smile:

    Nothing worse than poisonous space clouds, btw.

    Ben, I know I when I talked with you on the phone, things sounded pretty crazy. As I said earlier, I have been cautiously optimistic and you are now proving to me that you are a man of your word. I had no prior experience with you, so I had nothing to build on.

    Your mom called me earlier to verify my address. She mentioned that you have not been able to find your crimpers to make the Silver Cables yet. Not a problem. Just let me know if everything else shipped. If at all possible, if you can find the crimpers, I would really like to have the Silver Cables by the end of next week for the LSiM demo at my house.

    I know I am not the only one who is thankful you are OK and that you made it safely back Connecticut.

    Don

    Just curious, did you ever get your stuff referenced on page two?
