We had a Winter Carnival at our local ski hill and I said I would make plaques for the winners of the events. Unfortunately my Compucarve had to go to Sears for repair and was told it would be done with 10 days to get them all finished, then I got a call saying it wouldn't be done till after the Carnival, so I ask for help to finish them though this forum and from 100's of miles away BJ helped me out and finished them in plenty of time.
I told everybody what happened and how BJ helped us out, they were very impressed, as was I, with the way he jumped in and saved the day.
Attached is a picture of most of the winners and their plaques, Some of the High School Ski Team and their families had to leave before awards were handed out.
Thank-you again BJ Bethke

Meant to add these in first post. Oh well
Got Compucarve back, won't work properly.(z axis stall when measuring board height with bit). Now it has to go back, so I still can't have any fun for a few more weeks. I can't win. First extended warranty I've ever bought. Let alone used.

Nice work on the plaques! Sorry to hear your machine is going to be MIA for a little while. Looking forward to seeing your future projects, though!
