Maybe we will finally get caught up a little!

As anybody who deals with HI knows we are out of khukuris more often than not and it is very common to run our total inventory down to less than 20 khukuris which is where I am as I write this -- always waiting!

Well, a little good news for a change -- Bura has recruited a couple of relatives and they are now working at BirGorkha. They will be given a three or four week trial period and if they produce the quality we want they will be added to the permanent kami staff and assigned marks. We will have to change our "marks of the kamis" medallion to reflect their marks if they come aboard.

6 full timers, 6 or 8 part timers, and 6 helpers can't keep up. The harder and longer we work the behinder we get. But two more master kamis will help a lot.

We may have to expand the shop both top and bottom. We need room for two or three more forges and we need more housing on the second floor -- too crowded with about 20 to 25 people living up there full and part time and more wanting to come.

It all takes time. Bear with us.

Just go ahead & list the 20 or so khuks that you do have. We'll jump all over them in a feeding frenzy & you can start with a clean slate.

Seriously though, being supply-side limited is better than sitting on non-moving inventory.

With this rate of growth, I think BirGorkha is becoming the MicroSoft of Nepal. At least Nepal doesn't have our Orwellian "anti-trust" laws (I hope).

"The median family of four...paid $4,722 in federal taxes last year. That's enough to pay for a new curtain for the secretary of commerce's office, to bribe a farmer not to plant 38 acres with corn...seven weeks of salary for a Customs man assigned to save us from the terror of high-quality, low priced foreign TV sets, or the subsidy on 6,000 bushels of wheat to prop up the Soviet regime. Surely civilization would collapse without such essential services."

Brian, since you are already out there, you may as well post these "Thin Ice" warnings while you are at it! (VBEG)
