My daughter gave birth to grandson number 2 today.

Interest in the AirTECH Streamlining business is keeping me very active. Putting together quotes. Exchange is currently $1.31 CAD for $1.00 USD. Ouch. That is probably my greatest hurtle.

What are you planning on doing with AirTech Rory?

Exchange definitely doesn't help!

Congrats.

As we chatted tonight, Canadian Distributor. Really busy with setting up the company, getting paperwork in order. Have to get a web site ready at some point, price lists. Have business, GST/HST, import #s. Just registered with the Alberta government to run a business. Taking an F2 down to them for fitting. Hoping to buck trends of not spending, even with the horrible exchange rates. We'll see where this goes.
Then getting myself out there once I have some product to test and show. Attending race weekends, riding schools, club meetings, visiting dealers...

Thanks. I'm not in it for the money, as there isn't much to be made, if any. I really believe in the product, so I'm looking to make it available with a service presence. There is not much to choose from up here, so why not make it available? The dealers won't touch it. I'll also be testing the stuff. I'm interested to find out how the tanks hold up. It will be fun promoting, at the shows, and the tracks.
I've been bouncing ideas off their heads down there and I'm hoping to make a difference, to help them expand product line and distribution.
Unfortunately Glyn, nothing is free in this world, but that makes life a little more interesting.
