[meteorite-list] Summer time slowdown

[wahlperry at aol.com]

Hi Mike, and all
I know what you guys mean by summer time slowdown and it is only going 
to get hotter! I have been working on some web page updates and new 
formats. I should just hire a computer guy but that would take all the 
fun out of it and be to easy. But at this rate I should have it done 
next year. Just teasing! I also have to get everything ready for a 9 
day meteorite hunting trip. Just think by then it should only be around 
107-110 degrees. I can't wait.

Sonny

Hi Mike, I have my children for a time every summer this year it is a
little short of a month. The rest of the time they live with their
mother in Maine. So when they are here I hunt and work (on meteorites)
as little as possible. Yes business is very slow this time of year,
some of my friends who sell almost exclusively on E bay struggle every
summer, just to stay above starvation. That is my main distraction,
not to mention that it is just too hot to hunt the southern deserts
this time of year.
