Consulting fees? I posted this early on:

GET OURS FREE FOR PROVIDING INVALUABLE ENGINEERING SUPPORT? OK - sounds good to me!

...and all I've heard from Boilerdaddy is:

Chuck-

Email me you address ([email protected]) and I'll end you my extra one. I want the locking one. You can have the other one.

Nort -

Not only are you THE MAN, but you have mail.


BoilerDaddy -

Please note that all future dealings with me for engineering advice will be on a "pay-in-advance" basis. While I may have earned my engineering degree at your alma mater (Purdue), I have developed my business sense through the Racing/Boating School of Hard Knocks and Shady Characters. Cash on the barrelhead from now on, buddy.....

Oh - wait a minute. I suppose the T-shirt that you gave me in December is supposed to be "payment-in-advance"?????

Chuck and Jon,

I am a mere figurehead and have no fiscal authority. "Marketing Manager" is just a title they gave me to get my wife off my back.

Chuck, I'll let the poor saps in TAG run the paperwork through for your "consulting fees"--I'm sure you'll see the check by the time they carry an NCAA championship back in to Bloomington.

Jon, I will absolutely get you a free T-shirt when you show up here at the plant. How do you think Chuck got his?

(P.S. Chuck...Sent an e-mail to Kitty of the Big Game Club and am waiting on a response. If I don't see something by Monday, I'll start making some calls.)

Wow! I always wanted to "Be in the Big Game"!

DAMN IT we just drove near the plant!!!! Of course we had a TOP GUN in tow....

Wish I could have had the time to stop in there. Would have loved to see the place.

Jon

Jon, just call (or post, or e-mail) the next time you're going to be in the neighborhood. I'll be happy to show you around.

FYI to Chuck: Still not sure on the Big Game Club, but I suggest you call the Sea Crest just down the street at 242-347-3477. I've put people up there before and it's pretty nice. It's close enough to the Big Game Club that you can trip and stumble blind from one to the other.

Chaos - Got the package! Thanks!

Everyone,

I just got the word from our TAG department: It looks like Production will be switching to the metal latches on the FASTech applications. They will replace broken plastic ones under warranty on boats within their warranty period. They are still kind of deciding how to handle ones that break after warranty, but, depending on the age of the boat, you might get a substantial discount on the part (no labor), or, if you just want to go to a metal latch, they would probably sell it cheap.

Do not contact your Formula Regional Service Manager. They ask that you work through your dealer as in all other instances of service. This is just much better for work flow, especially with Hell--I mean, Memorial Day weekend--coming up for them.

We aim to please!

A good move by T'bird. I bought the stainless latch from a Southco distributor, and it's great.

Now, any progress on the fuel guage ground problem?
