Hello again friends, 

I received word from my rep at my production partner that the pins will be done in the next week or two here, but there might be a minor delay in shipping them to me.  My rep has an immediate family member pass away, so now someone else there will need to oversee the quality control, packing and shipping to me.  They said it shouldn't add any more than 10 days to the whole process, but I am not expecting to have these in hand until the end of the month.  

While I am a little sad about the delay for the pins, I think I would be more sad if I had a loved one pass, so I am doing my best to extend grace and set my expectations accordingly.  I have a long relationship with this particular production partner, so I have no reason to think they are being anything but genuine.  

I am hoping they send me some photos before the end of the month though, so once I get those I will be sure to pass them along in another update.  

In the mean time, if you have any questions please let me know.

Kindest regards, 
Joshua R Pinkas
