Subject: Stooge panel update

I am ∗still∗ waiting on metal from the metal shop. Last time we avoided
this wait because I ordered the metal before I took customer orders.
However, we ran short for those last minute add ons. This way, I have
plenty of metal and don't have to say "no" to anyone. After metal arrives
(next week I hope), it will be sent off to paint. Paint time should be 3
weeks. That's one week to ship it across the country to Paul's painter, a
week for paint, and one week to return it.
The printer has a time window for us beginning June 9th. So, we should have
painted panels just about that time and printing will begin right away. So,
at best right now, it looks like panels might be here in late June. I'm
sorry for the delay. But, I am still dealing with issues outside my
control. My painter quit which delayed the entire start and the metal shop
is once again slower than snot.
Some of you may be wondering, "where is my invoice?" Don't worry. It is
coming. I send out a few about every other day. It is a manual process of
copy and paste and edit, and double check to make certain everything is
right. I still have about 1/3 of you to go. Once complete, I will send out
a notice that I have sent all invoices in case I somehow missed someone
altogether (I do screw things up). The good news is that on the current
schedule, and with the extra metal I have on order, I will be able to make
adjustments right up until print time if I have messed anything up.
Thanks to everyone for their patience. As usual, you can expect a top notch
product that never seems to make the original anticipated delivery date. :)
Best,
Larry
