    Wheres Brian?

    Anybody talked to brian from oes recently? I emailed him last monday(oct 3) to order a custom tarp and havent heard back. I did send a follow up email yesterday morning as well. I was hoping to use this tarp on a trip which im leaving on the 20th. When i talked to him in early sept. he told me that turnaround was 7-10 days. Just wondering whats going on.

    Maybe he went hammock camping. Possibly sounds like something he would do.

    Being a cottage industry you have to assume that there is no one besides Brian answering email and the phones and making tarps and equipment. I ordered a MacCat tarp from Brian and Sept 12 and just received it yesterday. So he is still working on tarps.

    I give up, where's Brian? Oh, nevermind, I thought this was a quiz.

    It's a lot better than Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego. At least you get new gear out of it.

    Hey folks, Brian posted this morning in another thread with his whereabouts. No need to stalk.

    Good to hear all is well! Just got a bit worried because he has been well with keeping in touch with me before.

    So glad his name is not Waldo. I can really relate to his dilemma. In my work, if I am not available for folks 24/7 they get "worried." Sometimes it is a real burden. I have to shut my crackberry off.

    On the other hand it is good to work with people who genuinely care. One of the nice things about folks here is that they truly do care.
