Mike Licht out of office, Full Throttle still in full swing
Hello this is Marianne using Mike's account letting everyone know what is going on,
For those who had called the shop for tech support and orders you might have been told that Mike has been out of the office for quite a few days now. First he had a crisis with his aunt, and then I (Marianne) had to go in for surgery which put me out commission for a few days. All of the stress of taking care of things along with business caused some pretty serious migraine headaches for Mike that he worked through for 17 days. Due to the migraines, he wound up in the hospital for treatment and testing. Everything is fine now, he is home now getting some much needed rest. I am coming in for a few hours here and there as I am getting better every day. However, our crew has been doing just fine taking orders, dealing with basic tech support and shipping out parts out in typical Full Throttle fashion. Even though Mike is not there and I am here on a limited basis, it is definitely business as usual at Full Throttle Speed. Mike is hoping to be back in the office on Monday, but if you need tech support that no one can help you with when Mike and I are not around please use our message board at Full Throttle Tech , Bob Bailey and Mike are monitoring that and can help you there. We thank everyone for their support and understanding. It hasn't been a normal July for us but things will be back to normal soon.

Wow, too much stuff piled on all at once. Sure hope all's well with you Marianne!!!
I would imagine that you're both under a ton of stress, trying to keep one of the premier businesses in our community going has got to wear on ya'll. Please give Mike my best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!!!! If I were still up in your area, I'd be there to help in anyway I could. Good Luck!! and best wishes. Dave

Best wished to you both! I suffer from weather related sinus migraines so I can totally understand how disabled you can be when you have a headache. Much respect to Mike for working 17 days with a migraine, I would have been on so much Tylenol 3 by the third day I would be in a comatose state unable to do anything.

Hello it is me, I am back part time for now. Thanks you for all the emails and nice posts, it really helped. Things have been tough for us and they will be for a bit longer but both of us are coming back rather quickly. We will be back up to full speed in no time and then we will do something special for everyone for supporting through this time.
Mike
