Hi guys and gals ! Thank you for the payments that have been received.

We need to make sure that remaining payments get posted as soon as possible, with the exception of those that have made "arrangements" with me. If you are no longer interested, please let me know as soon as you can, as there are others that would like the opportunity if you are unable. Thanks !


A small update -


This update doesn't affect this armor run per say, so no worries. But I want to take a moment and post an update as to what's going on for those that may be waiting on a few misc items. I'll post this same update in all of my active threads.

Yesterday was a snow day from hell. I know, that sounds like a contradiction in terms But you know the old saying ... "When it snows in hell" ? Well since I really hate where I currently live, I consider the saying accurate ... because it did, AGAIN

As most of you know that have been keeping up, and for those that may not yet .. my little "mountain town" is getting slammed this winter. The worst on record since 1968. And it figures. We haven't had a bad winter since 1995, so I suppose we were due, as it is considered "snow country". Adding insult to injury, we got nearly 2 feet of snow almost overnight, and it shut us down here. I spent the whole day yesterday with snow removal. I had to take off from work to do this. Emergency services shut down, as well as all of the normal stuff, schools, city transit, airports, retail establishments, ect. My main focus was removing the hundreds of pounds of snow from my Mother's covered porches and overhangs, because after 2 months of this every week practically, there has been a rash of "cave-in" incidents around the area. Very dangerous stuff. In fact, we still have the same snow buried under many more feet of compounded snow from other storms, that first came down back in late November We've also had lines down (power loss) which translates to NO HEAT, no internet (my wife in Indiana has had to "Proxy" for me) as well as cell phone towers and service interruptions. The final "insult" here, is that very soon, we will be literally buried, as there are no contingency plans in place here for "mass" snow removal/relocation. We were caught off guard to say the least. Put simply, we're running out of places to put the snow !

The moral to the story is, I was completely unable to get any of the small outstanding orders out to the post yesterday. I wanted to make sure that everyone is informed as to what delays I encounter as I go, if any. This was a really big one folks, and I had no control But my apologies nevertheless.

The cold is still affecting works as well. There are a few of you that have been waiting for FPH's that may not understand why I can proceed with "another" run of armor, when you are waiting for your pieces, ect. Please understand, fiber glassing is a different process from the armor, that is adversely affected by extreme temperatures and humidity, the forming process for armor - not so much. So for those of you (very few, I think 5) that have been waiting patiently for the "Mid January" expectation, please accept my apologies as well, but again, I simply have no control. I try to set realistic expectations, but there was no way to predict that this would still be going on. If any of you would like to entertain "refunds", please contact me and I will make those arrangements. Otherwise, if you're ok with waiting, that's good too. This is why I've stopped accepting interest with the FPH, a few weeks back, as I didn't want to backlog myself, and keep any more members "waiting" than necessary.

I want to thank everyone for their continued patience and support. Rest assured, things are still moving forward, but very slowly on some fronts.

:cheers

FP.

Do we need to get you a dog team and some kerosene lanterns?

BE safe man and crank up the heat.

Just take care of your family and yourself. None of us are going die if we don't get our armor in two weeks.

Stay warm and safe.



'All shoveling and no Fett building makes Fettpride a cold boy....' lol:

PP sent,
2 weeks of over time and the G.I Bill money pays off!


Forgot the movie verson!

Well ill send a PM.

And take your time with mine. Last thing I need is my MR Boba helmet, Boba Helmet inserts, FP armor and RC bucket showing up all at the same time at the door for the woman to find.

Now that would be a really bad/good day. Bad b/c well you know why. Good b/c ill have all the time in the world to work on the stuff b/c she wont be talking to me.

On the other hand send it ASAP I need a brake from her

You still taking orders man? Ive been so busy I never even saw this thread.

i am sure you have considerd it but, seriously get a snow blower. It really beats shoveling that "stuff".

One thing I like about anchorage is they are really on top of the plowing and the snow removal (a huge part clearing the roads).

Gonzo - that is tooooo funny

Thanks for understanding everyone

Stormrider - I've got an open slot bro, just lemme know.

CMANavy - actually .... I have a huge snow blower !!! it's in Indiana now What happened thre was (the short story), is we had all of our belongings moved by a moving company last year when the house in Oregon was under contract for a sale. We took a leap of faith and counted on the sale going through (escrow). It didn't. It fell through right on the last day. And the mountain of stuff had already left for storage in Indiana :facepalm :angry :cry And because winter hit so fast, so hard here ... there isn't a snow blower to be had in this town. Well, there are 3 ... but are being sold by an establishment who is trying to SCALP some poor smuck for 3 times what they normally sell for !! :angry

It really does suck. It was just very bad timing. In fact, I told my wife a few months back, that I knew that the last winter here was going to be a BAD one ... and she asked why I thought that? I said, because YOU have the snow blower

FP

Hey FP, why don't you just move down here in sunny San Diego and get away from the cold weather...lot's of great deals on foreclosed homes!

Actually, I came from SoCal San Diego, Riverside, San Berdo, Moreno Valley, ect, ect ect It will always be where my heart is


FP

I know you're probably busy, but I'd like to be put on the list for your V 3 armor as well.:love

Payment sent (less shipping, let me know, but sounds like nothing is shipping right now).

Rob.
