Buster,
So not founder?
It's pretty good applying to horses, buildings, support, lack of knowledge,
overeating, all of the above seems to fit pretty well with many of us!!
I especially like the one: to suffer wreck, as in fail miserably. Also, the
project foundered because public support was lacking. The public is
sometimes SO's, wife, keeper of the checkbook, neighbors, etc.!!
Later, Paul A
