I do have yours and six other non-adjustable hub orders lined up for the riveting. One at a time. I have around 30 wheels backlog just in finishing and shipping. It was worse, but I did make a lot of progress toward reducing it during the summer months. I have another 40-ish wheels to make before year end. I suspect I’ll be late with those too. Been working most weekends and some evenings when I have the energy. Recently I did lose some time sick (reaction to meds) followed immediately by a week down preparing for the hurricane and then un-preparing. Please be patient with me a bit longer and I promise a very beautiful wheel.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:#FDFDFD'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:#FDFDFD'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Regards,<br>Mike Lempert"<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:#FDFDFD'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:#FDFDFD'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:#FDFDFD'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>I thought Mike had retired, but apparently not.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>--------------------------------<br>Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
