Tryout #1

My new product release is t-7 days away, I still have a ton of inventory to build up and marketing stuff to get ready...and yet, today I spent half the day playing with my new machine.

Now I realize that it is going to take more than one pass to get the raw materials exactly right to work with said machine - and yet I was every so slightly disappointed that after the first try it didn't work exactly as I had envisioned. Thankfully the machine works exactly as hoped but it's my combination of raw materials which isn't exactly right yet. Half the reason I bought the machine now for a product I plan on releasing next year was to have the time to work/play with the machine and the raw materials but still...there's always that part of you that hopes the machine will work right out of the gate.

The good news though is that my new employee is excited to play with it the next time she comes in so perhaps she'll be able to help me unlock the secret. In the meantime I need to focus on the product that's just about to go out the door.
