5-17-05  Hello All - we are finally back online. After over a month of computer issues and Internet Provider issues, I think we have finally gotten back online. We can now once again access orders you have placed, answer emails and process thru credit card payments. We have gotten a brand new computer and our Internet Provider has finally gotten our service to work for longer than a day. After many repeated phone calls to them and over 7 visits to us, we have finally gotten that problem resolved. We will do our best now to get caught up and answer emails and process orders. The LK automatic shipments for the June-July Flip-its will be mailing out on Tuesday. We just about have them all packed up and ready to mail. The Pine Mountain autos will be mailing as well. We apologize for the long delay in getting back to some of you and for the delay in shipping, but things were just crashing here left and right. We are now back and will be working constantly to get caught up.  We have several emails to answer.

  4-13-05  We have currently been experiencing some computer related problems once again. The problem now lies with our ISP and we will be without service until approx. 4-18-05.  We have been unable to access the internet, which means no email access, access to new orders or anything else.  If you have been emailing us with no response, we apologize for that, but the lack of response is due to these problems we have been having again over the last week or so.  We are processing as many new and old orders as possible, but we don't have access to process credit cards either.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, and assure you we will be back up and running next week and we will get caught up at that point.  Thank you for your patience.
