It is called getting older! I am slowly going to the low and slow because in
your mid 70's you can see the window closing down. Insurance, medical, etc.

After about a year layoff of working on my KR2S, I have started making

When I ordered my KR2S plans, I basically got the KR2 manual, KR2 drawings
and supplemental drawings for the KR2S where it differed from the KR2

KR Builders,
Last year I bought the CD with all the KR newsletters that Larry Capps had
put together. I had started building my KR2S last year and would
