don't like the term "sells out", but I have been purchased. I still have a hand in the operation of the business. I put my entire life into this company, I couldn't just turn it over. A rumor got started a few months ago that I was looking to get out of the industry, which is about 75% true. I suffered from some pretty serious health issues at the start of the year. Almost all due to stress. My family is very important to me and I refuse to risk my health for money/greed. The guys that are taking over my site are A+ guys. I wouldn't have sold otherwise. It will take about a week to get all the bugs worked out. In the end it is best for everyone. They can ship from two places, where I could only ship from one. They will carry around 2000 more items than I currently have. I will be in charge of the bulk powder aspect, which is what I really enjoy. I look forward to massive expansion in that area.

As far as my future plans, it's pretty simple. I'm going to take 3-4 months off from the industry. I need it to clear my head, get my health back in order and regain my creative side. I will always have a hand in this industry. I love it too much. I see so many area's where I can improve things. I don't know what capacity I'll come back in, but I will be back.

I appreciate the good words. I've worked very hard to have a good reputation. Hope this answers your questions.
