			OK here's a real update.  All of my standard excuses apply, so I won't bore you with them again.  I do apologize to my COTEP family.  You've all been very supportive, and I have let you down.  I am sorry. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			One note - for the time being, I'm not taking on any new projects (knife sheaths, mag holsters, etc) - I'm already guilty of taking on more than I can handle, so it's not right that I attempt anything new before I fulfill my current obligations. In addition, for now, I'm not accepting any new orders for holsters. Some things have come up with my health that may sideline me for a bit. My goal is to have everything caught up before then. Here's the format: Order number, order data, who, what and status #1270 : 07APR2012 :   : Two tone commander IWB; Belt : Ready for highlight airbrush#1281 : 28APR2012 : Big   : Belt : Not started.#1282 : 03MAY2012 : Mike : Commander and Government OWB, Belt : In the process of stitching #1286 : 10JUN2012 : Sunderbrew : Belt : Not started. #1288 : 20JUN2012 : Non-COTEP : Holster and belt : Not started #1290 : 16JUL2012 :   : Holster and Belt : Not started#1291 : 07AUG2012 : Da   : M&P Holster : Not startedAlso, I'm working on a belt for AutoMag (John) that's ready for dye. And a holster for   that's not started.The only promise I'll make (cause I seem to not keep them anyway) is that I'll post regular updates. It's embarrassing that I've had money from you folks for over 6 months. If anyone would rather have a refund than wait, that's fine - I'll put a check in the mail without question. Otherwise, I'll get them done as quickly as possible. Thanks again for your support and encouragement - I hope to earn back your confidence. Lane

			On my part Lane... take care of your health first. In order of importance (at least for me): 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			1. God 2. Family 3. Health. somewhere between 4 and 100 is "holster." Be well. Da

			Someone once said, "Patience is a virtue".  Take care of your health, for without health you have nothing.

			First off, thanks for the support.  I just reread my original message and realize it's a bit more dramatic than I intended.  I'm not dying.  I'm not even sick.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
			   I've had lower back issues for years.  I had surgery 3.5 years ago, and it's time for a tune up.  We won't know the extent for a couple of weeks, but from past experience, I know that IF he does cut, I'm sidelined for a couple of months.  I'm planning for the worst, getting everything done that I can.  Then if he says, "quit whining and get back in the dungeon" I'll be ahead, we can take orders and be off to the races.I should have been a bit less dramatic.    Now, back to the dungeon.Lane

 Hope you are making great progress in your healing. Any thoughts when you might be in the shop again if ever?
