Just blame the health insurance premium increases...
But wait, you're retired so you get socialized medicine (Medicare)
already, drat!
btw, I'll still buy at the new prices!

Not a burden on society . . . yet! I'm still on the healthplan &
payroll of my old company in CA, though I only visit them once a year
or so to prove I'm still alive. Besides, they cheer when I leave so it
must give them something to look forward to.

There's been a flurry of orders since I threatened price increases,
seems at least some other pilots are as parsimonious as me. Since the
increase doesn't go into effect 'till 1 April, there's still time to
stock up. I promise I won't come out with a MKV anytime soon and make
the MKIV obsolete - - honest! The MKI came out 11 years ago, I've
improved it until I'm happy with the most recent MKIV version. If
you're not happy with it, I'll give you your money back plus an extra
dollar for trying it.

all the best,
