I have to say that I agree with vbelac and Lynnch. I could use something to keep me occupied on here. I understand everyone is kind of busy and whatnot, but a few people have expressed in the last few days that they are bored with the current survey world. I just want a new challenge. I certainly don't mean to be annoying, it IS what the thread is for xD

Hang in there Bob, I hear he is working on it this week,
i'm going to work on getting more supplies for shields etc. 
i have to check out 1.9 I haven't seen it yet.
