    Announcement

    Hi folks,

    Just got back from a whirlwind trip to Michigan and am pleased to announce I am the new owner of whoopieslings.com.

    I think a lot of us were sad to hear that Opie wanted to sell the business to be able to spend more time with his family. But we can certainly understand his desires. In order to continue his line of great products, I offered to buy the business and hope to be able to carry on in good fashion.

    A big thank you goes out to Opie for all he has done, and will continue to do, for the hammock community. And for all his assistance through the transition of the business.

    There are a lot of orders to catch up on and we'll be working hard to get those out as soon as possible.

    Thanks to everyone at hammockforums.net for your continued support.

    Stu (SmokeBait)

    Congrats! He set you up well, so I wish you success in carrying it forward.
