[ARC5] Slight detour

[Michael Tauson]

I'm taking a short break from the book.  This is in part to give me
time to catch up on my top priority - Noelle-machines and making sure
she's happy & comfortable - and in part due to getting a bit brain
fried.  This latter became obvious when I tried desperately to find
the A.R.C. part number on my DVR remote.  As it stands at the moment,
I have incomplete tables & lists (though significantly less so than
when I started) and a history with holes in it large enough to sail a
fairly large task force through.  The overall history isn't the
problem, it's some of the details that seem to have escaped and are
hiding somewhere not all that obvious.

For now, I'll be concentrating on electric engines (Clete, is that
wire still available?) and finding ways to make them fit a USPS
Priority flat rate shoebox.  Later on, I'll expand to compressed air
engines built in the same Rube Goldberg meets Monty Python style and
using things like ammo brasses for pistons and/or cylinders.  Both
should be a lot of fun and give my beautiful daughter cause to smile,
even if it's just for a while.  She has a wonderful smile and laugh
(something else that's missing now), and I miss them terribly.

Anyway, I've not jumped ship, just taking some shore leave.
