Yeah I run my own company as well, but advertising revenue is way down and so is my little side gig with the kits, so it's hurting all over the place.
My wife keeps joking that I need to start a porn website LOL!

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Ah - back to your OLD job then 
So sorry to hear that so many of us are being hit hard lately. Try to keep smiling guys - if nothing else it makes people wonder what you're up to!

This is very sad news Faken. I was personally very much looking forward to a potential video review of this piece. I find your reviews both honest and informative.
In addition, you have been responsible for a lot of the information that has found its way on to various boards regarding this piece, and raised the profile for CM so much that I feel they owe you a piece as recompense.
Again, very sad and I hope things work out.

Sorry to hear that Dan. I know how much you were looking forward to this thing. It makes me sad to hear that you have to cancel.
Im sure in time though you will have it 
I hope your wife gets her job back and you guys are ok.

Why thanks cat, very kind of you and humbling to hear that, I appreciate the kind words very much. I was really looking forward to photographing and reviewing this as well, but now is just not a good time. Had this come out in the summer, I would have been able to snag it no problem, but now that I am scraping by, it's not the time for risky spending.
And don't get me wrong fellas... this isn't a play for pity or anything but I know a lot of you were waiting for me to get a review up and some video, so this is just a heads up that it won't be happening any time soon unless George Sohn sends me a surprise LOL!

... well - since this needs just a simple vid and commentary (not like the DW debacle  ), I could probably sort this out once the beastie arrives.
I've even got a turntable it will fit on!
I could video it and let you add your commentary over the top (last thing you need is someone with my UK accent confusing the audience)

Sorry to hear that, Dan. Though I'm sure you'll add one to your collection eventually.
