Default Thanks

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. This past month has been a difficult time for my family. Both wife Tamara (our office manager and accounting person and keeper of sanity) and I have been back in Colorado for most of the past 3-4 weeks. I am very grateful to have a business partner (Mike Arps) that understands the importance of family and the need to be with my family during this trying time. So, during the last few weeks, Mike has been doing the job of 3 people managing our production, customer communications, accounting, inventory, delivery, vendor communications, website, and personnel issues. I think he has done a fantastic job under the circumstances and I want to say thank you. I also appreciate people’s patience and understanding during this period. True, the business world doesn't go on hold for a personal loss such as this, but it looks like our customers and friends are willing to cut us a little slack and that means a lot. Reading this thread, I realize that our Cobra community is truly made up of caring and compassionate people and I am proud to be associated with it.

Both Tamara and I are back in town now and will back on the job tomorrow. Things should be getting back to normal fairly quickly. Anyone who needs something and hasn't had a satisfying response yet, please let us know tomorrow or Friday and we will get it resolved ASAP.

Grumpy, I am truly sorry for your loss. Please know that our sympathies and prayers are with you during your time of need.
