Here's my twist on the story... hyperbole throughout, but hey!

Never has one achieved a state of utter perfection, harnassing the raging torrents of inspiration within to guide such energy, thus defeating every lock that opposes him.

His skills shall be sung on the tongues of poets, and the whispers of the sea. His skill enfused into those who would follow in his footsteps, and his majestic aura shall guide us through our times of strife to a new dawn!

The name we grant to this enthusiast who's skill and gusto surpasses all is: Digital_Blue!

Despite the shadow of looming from this demi-god of picking, others have timidly dared to follow in the hopes of one day collpasing this bastion of unstoppable power. Frostbyte, the closest to come has already felt the pang of defeat as even his skill is mocked by that possesed by Digital_Blue, yet regardless champions of skill must always beware new challenges, for there within lies the greatest threat.

The tranquil day is disturbed by a raging torrent of pure energy, not a lightning bolt, or anything that nature could create. What approaches blinds all with its presence, the seemingly ethereal nature contradicted by the very earthly strength. The peaceful day personifying digital_blue's picking career has been warped into pure pandemonium as a challenger approaches.

The storm has arrived, pray you survive its ravagings!

Hmm... I like creative writing. :P

Wow. That was really good. Yes. Yes, I think we'll go with that. (Of course, I may be a bit biased here....)

It could be all over (for the both of us...) Texas now has the test kit! (Not sure when they're going to have a go at it.)

:D

Can i clarify somthing?

Is there one test kit and its passed around? or are there many kits?

For example can i apply to have a test kit and be the holder of it for the uk meets? or rather the uk meets in my region with perhaps someone else having a 2nd kit elsewhere in the country?

Or do we have to go on a list and get the kit sent to us then pass it on when we have done with it?

I think what's likely to happen is that we'll try to make up (for now) 2 test kits, one for the north american folk and one for the U.k. that can be circulated around there to avoid constantly shipping it back and forth across the pond.

We're also going to format a repair kit for when locks need to be repinned or repaired.

I, too, am still waiting to hear back from the texas folk about how they did with it. 8)

Well ok, it may be a good possability that ill be the contact for the uk side of things if everyone agrees so i dont mind takig delivery and then passing it around,

When you mentioned the lever locks would that be somthign in the uk kit only or somthing that i would send to you as well for inclusion to the us kit/s?

If so then there will have to be some tools made to accumplish this and with noobs attackign them regular repairs done to them,

Yeah, still trying to figure out how to get lever lock kits and wafer kits together.

Lever lock kits are difficult in regards to both availability/cost of locks and availability/cost of tools.

The wafer kit has yet to be designed at all. Something that's still in the works.

You know what would go really great with a UK test kit?

How about a UK LSI chapter. Yeah. That'd be sweet. Yeah...

I would be willing to donate a few locks to help out with the secon kit. I have a HUGE selection of locks, and even your british approved high securtiy lever locks. Let me know if I can help (Digtal Blue or Shrub) in getting a second kit up and going. BTW, I finally have about 4 other pickers out here in beverly hills that are getting pretty godd with regular practice. I even tought one of them how to make their own picks, and they haven't stopped for 3 months now! His collection of home brew is really getting pretty impressive. This being said, in your earlier post you stated that if I had atleast 2 friends willing to go through meetings then we could start our own LSI chapter here in florida....That day has finally come@@@@@@ YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Just wanted to throw that out there as I have been chomping at the bit waiting on pins and needles for the test kit, and now I have a chance to sink my teeth into it.!!!! Let me know what I have to do to get the ball rolling guys.

Thanks,
I hear what you are saying.....that doesn't mean I agree with you....Just that I am nodding my head to placate you and silence your futile attempts to win the argument.
