If less than half of those currently directly subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to spare for next year. Please consider it. Financial Projection as of 03 December 2012 *** Condition: Cautiously Optimistic *** 501(c)3 status rescinded. Refiled 1023 for retroactive status 25 June 2012. Did not hear back within 90 days; therefor, must assume that there are issues and our case must be assigned to an agent. IRS is currently assigning applications received in February 2012. Ours was received in June. We will not have our status reinstated for the 2012 tax year. To current financials, HBD is officially bankrupt in May. Due to recent political developments, HBD.org will likely have to be dissolved per the bylaws once funding runs out. Projected 2012 Budget $3191.79 Expended against projection $3137.96 Unplanned expenditures $ 331.88 Projected Excess/(Shortfall) $1282.62 As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged and accounted for on the HBD web page.

See this link for a photo of my portable setup:- http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=235&view=findpost& p=483377 I have not filled a SS cylinder from a larger cylinder, however I believe it can be done. Try searching paintball sites for the details. Cheers, Wally Hughes Return to table of contents
