Indeed, no heat wave anymore. I'm not able to work on mp3 currently
though, I have some health trouble, and existing jobs continue to take
what time and energy I have.

Agreed, though with things as they currently are, I can't promise
anything.

Does this mean an extension from the current Dec deadline?
