Folks,  If there were any delays in your orders this week, I (MacRorie) had jury duty this week.  I sat in the box all day, but--in the end--the defense did not like the look of me, so I was dismissed!  Yay!  I did my civic duty!  I think we are all caught up (except for the 576NUC+ orders, but those customers receive a weekly email with their updates). As you hopefully have noticed by now (courtesy of the annoying pop-up), we are coming up on a build week starting tomorrow (Friday 01 April).  This is NOT an April Fool's Joke!...

Folks, as I am sure you are aware (from the pop-ups and the last blog post), the March Build Week is starting on Monday.  Remember, we are also closed Fri-Sun. What does this mean: 1.  eBay sales have been put on "Time Away" meaning that they will not be processed or shipped until 14 March.  2. brewingacademy.com sales will not be shipped until 14 March. 3.  If you are having something built, then it's process will be sped up since we will be focusing on just building units of everything we can.  We will also attempt to get ahead so...

Folks, Thank you ALL for your continued business these last seven years! It has been great and we look forward to many more! However, in trying to get get you your orders in a timely manner, stay healthy, manage twin six-year-olds, the worldwide chip shortage, and everything else the last three years have thrown at all of us, we have devised a new SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) BUILD WEEKS/"Pre-built" You may have also noticed that some products are running out.  This is because the chip shortage has made it impossible to find a fabrication house to make boards and get...

Soooo, here we are and it's almost the end of January 2022. However, I think, French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr said it best in 1849:  “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose“ [the more things change, the more they stay the same].  It seems like we keep doing the same damned things over and over again.   IN that vein: my employees are again out because of COVID.  Yes, they were vaccinated.  However, his cousin probably wasn't and that's how he got exposed.  However, he got sick and was still testing positive five days out, so we have to wait...

Folks, That time of year is here!  Where we find out if the world economy is still tied to Santa's rear end (with apologies to Lewis Black for stealing his material)! As we mentioned in October, we will be closed from 17 December (Friday) until 27 December (Monday).  That is 10 days.  If your order comes in during that period, it will not be packed, shipped, or looked at.  We will not be answering the phone (in fact, it will be off).  MacRorie will be so far into the mountains, cell service does not exist!  The internet only comes in...
