I could get behind that for sure!

Bruce I totally relate to this statement! I truly hope you find a happy medium on keeping yourself inspired. For me I would just build those other projects for yourself and try not to look at it as a mass production project. I love seeing you develop and also your design solutions. It would be...

Not really…I just fell down the rabbit hole trying to find one on Google images but it was like looking for the pot of gold. They must be super rare…Unicorn rare lol
