While I could borrow (I doon't feel comfortable enough to do that yet) I've decided to apply the brakes a bit and gather some capital so I can come out guns ablazin' in due time.I say be patient and trust yourself to do the right thing.

Probably not, but they can certainly put the brakes on some of the price declines that we are seeing.

You don't need a Formula 1 engine builder to change your brake pads. 

Brake your project down to 10-12 parts and then concentrate on only one part at a time.

I love the fact you invented that air coach we have some of those.. little tricky to inflate but great concept.and that's were the money is made by so many in the USA its selling products and inventing things that others need.Also brought me back to my early days of flying i actually went on my check ride for my PVT license in a Cherokee 140 talk about an un powered dog  LOL.. did yours have the brake handle on the Roof of the cockpit.. ??? 

West Edge (formerly the Horizon Project) is the expanded medical research complex that I think Scott is referring to:http://www.westedgecharleston.com/The vision for this was in place 10 years ago but the economic downturn put the brakes on it as it did so many things. 

I have to keep myself in check, and hearing this from you guys encourages me to pump my brakes a little!  

Hate to brake it to you but two things in life are an absolute certainty: 1) death at some point and 2) paying taxes.You can only defer the payment of taxes (assuming you have exhausted all means of reducing the taxable income/gain as much as legally possible).You say you "have been reading up" on this.

For the most part we just do oil, brakes, and tires.

They'll certainly require inspection stickers, tires, brakes, alignment and other repairs.
