Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. We’re winding
down the year and have some more news to share. The big excitement
is the sneak peak at the Moebius Flying Sub!

Just a note to everyone that we will be taking some time off between
Dec. 24 and Jan.1 The shop will be open, but I don’t plan on doing
much shipping. I have a lot of year end things to take care of, as
well as take some time to be with the family, and just plain enjoy the
holidays.
