As of today ALL LionHearts have been shipped. However, due to my legendary accounting skillz please notify me if you do not receive your light in a timely manner.
And now...VACATION!!!

UPDATE 12-11-04:
The Pila 150As are here! (MOST of them!) I say "most" because the subsequent order for 200 additional batteries I submitted prior would have been enough to fill all orders at the time plus a nice cushion to cover even more buyers, but little did I realize I would be totally sold out, so another smaller batch of batteries were ordered and they should be here early this coming week. As it is I have enough to pack all orders up through mid-October and of course it will take a few days to get everything sorted and sealed, labels printed, and the completed boxes physically dispatched to the carrier. And this should coincide nicely with the arrival of the FINAL small batch of batteries which I will then pack and send out.
And then...VACATION (I say again, except with MUCH more emphasis this time)!
************************************************************
Diligently working, diligently working, all by my lonesome - until tomorrow that is(!) - and after just a few hours, voilá:
Took a short break by chewin' on a little Kodiak followed by some Cope washed down with Coke and then back to the grind, and after a few More hours:
At this rate it looks entirely possible that all HA3 LionHearts will be built by the end of the week and shipping at the same time.
One thing though - the parts came all screwed together into whole bodies and each body was then carefully wrapped in paper, so I decided that rather than searching out individual serial numbers (aside from the CNC shop owner's No. 301 which was wrapped differently and placed right at the top of the box), plus the fact that assembly speed was going so swimmingly anyway (and just by myself at that), that I just unwrapped'em as they came up out of the box and built'em in that order since it likely will not make any difference in delivery dates once all is said and done.
In fact, it appears that the sorting out of each individual order (one battery, two batteries, battery and charger, light alone, new destination address requests, matching CPF handles to real names to specific serial numbers, etc.) will become the real time-taker anyway.
Have patience dear friends, 'cause - we be rollin'!
