so just wanted to vent or share ... or something ?
My nextdoor neighbor (business) is in a delima .. or so he says ..
little background ..
he's a helicopter pilot , and "inventor" .. whom went into business for himself about 2 years ago .. leased the space beside me , and became my neighbor . We met , and became friends .. I have even built him some fiberglass helicopter pieces .. R&D
a couple of years in business now , he has developed a new fire supression system .. and in in the midst of selling .. has had some issues selling , but it's in the works ..
hes also developing a new "jet" type engine , involving hydrogen peroxide .. I have watched him test the engine many times .. also offered some successfull , information over a beer , which he has included in his developement .. he has engineers , physicists , and designers all influinsing his designs .. but yet hes still comes over and chats with me ?
Today .. he came over , with a beer in hand .. and told me he had a delima !!!!
he had showed some " potential investors " his peroxide engine prototype .. and they bit ... OH BOY DID THEY BITE .. .. they gave him a 12 month buy out for 20 million .. shocked .. he came to ask for MY advice
(what the hell !!! ) .. so we shut the doors , and chatted for a couple of hours ..
just a little blown away , and had to share .. Damb .. I think I should be charging for my time !!!!!!!! but is this is what friends are for I guess ?
