Chief - if you make your way to Sarasota, Florida in your travels I would greatly enjoy hooking up for a meal and a chance to shoot the breeze. Please let me know if you're ever going to be in the area.

Thanks Tom for the links. Got them bookmarked.

Hey Frank, where do you "hang out"? Was wondering as I might be in your neighborhood while doing my travels and would not know it. Off to OK tomorrow for a chilly visit at Bass Pro Shops while we are having record highs in NC. [:(]

This maybe why they don't get to the phone on time

I like to order on the phone as I know who I talked to, and you have confidence you're going to get what you wanted.

I have tried on several occasions to order from these folks. Constantly get the answering machine. I tried emailing them to find out the best time to call, did so, and still get the answering machine. I call several times every week.

I have a number of parts I WANT to order from them. Hopefully before I'm dead they'll answer the phone.
