Ghost don't feel badly, it's totally understandable buddy, please don't take this wrong, your still a very young man who has to build a base for your own life, and a part of that base is financial responsibility. Obviously your learning fast, you take care of "home base" first and then consider other things. This project is more than $$$$ although it may appear to be only that, and it's for the benifit of someone else. Personally I don't care what the situation or whom it may involve giving of anything, time, labor, talent, etc. and even money comes from within first (being willing and wanting too), and your comments from your post reveal you are aware of what that means.
Who knows where this project will end, personally thus far it has been a bit disapointing, but you do what you can do and however it turns out come Carlisle 2007 there will be a lot of smiles because a group of people will say "Thank you, we appreciate you Don and we want to share and show that to you................................"
Thank you ghost, like I told another member just recently, "Life is full of surprises, the 'bad' ones are what I call disappointments", and we move on down the road.
