Ez!! You should know to just pick up the phone and give me a call.
Better yet start planning another visit for when traveling opens back up, we'd love to have you come see us! We are most certainly still in business and doing a booming one at that this year. It seems boredom at home due to a stupid virus is a great motivator for gun building. LOL
The webpage is the thorn in my side. Each time I think we are going to take it to online ordering, a glitch or a internal issue pops up. So it stands as is until I try once again to get it switched up sometime after the new year. All the emails and phone numbers are still good on it though!! My word of advice is if in doubt about a company, just reach out and communicate with them!
And now here's the scoop on the Chambers clan....
As for me... I am still fighting this ridiculous breast cancer. When first diagnosed in 2018 there were two kinds of cancer in the tumor. So we treated for the most prevalent one and we got it! However, the other survived the chemo and radiation and showed itself again in April of this year right as the Covid insanity began. That caused us to changed our approach to a bunch of things when it comes to doctors and surgeries and the such. Since surgeries were not being allowed at the time, I went ahead and started chemo again in May and will finish up in October. These three months of chemo have allowed enough time to lapse so that the healthcare world has figure out how to do surgeries and such while dealing with Covid. Now, going forward come November I will have these "Assassin-Boobs" (I am DD7 rather than 007 - LOL!!) removed for good and a new Barbie body built.
While all of this is going on, I am still running the shop, with adjusted work hours to allow for a bit more rest and utilizing my best daily energy spikes. Mom and Dad are still working in the shop too, so the Chambers shop is fully operational and going strong, in fact I just hired another lock builder!! WooHoo!
As for Dad... His degenerative discs in his lower back have reached a point that surgery can no longer be avoided. He is looking at a couple surgeries to get him straightened back out come September. The recovery will be a bit lengthy but the doctor's results in other patients has been fabulous so hopefully with Dad's always healthy and quick healing self, he'll fly through surgery and physical therapy like no other. He is still helping out in the shop, but I am trying my best to send him fishing as much as possible, and by fishing I mean sitting on the dock at the lake with a margarita in hand and enjoying the peacefulness. :
As for Mom... She came through all of her breast cancer treatments in 2018-2019 with flying colors. She's still our mighty mouse in the family constantly working in the yards, in the shop, and around the house. The chemo did a bit of a number on her memory but we are working on improving it each day. Of course her positive and super friendly personality can not be stopped by anything so when you call and get her on the phone, plan on a business conversation that's more like talking to family. Which is what we strive to treat each of our customers like anyway - Family!!
So, I hope this gets everyone caught up with the crazy life of being a Chambers right now. Thank you to everyone for your business, your support, and your kindness. I always tell people who aren't part of the Muzzleloading world that they are missing out because it is a world where we are all one big family. I have the best job I could have ever asked for because I have the BEST customers!!
Much love to all of you from us, stay safe, and by all means keep your powder dry!!
