Now I'm bummin'
About a month ago I was planning the trip to pick up my boat down in NC. I figured it would be a great time check out the Fountain plant while I was in town. I made a few calls, lined everything up for this coming week :evilb: (one being Rodney -the Fountain guy) , made Hotel accomodations, asked three of my die-hard Fountain buds to come along (who all took the day off), and talked to the dealer where I bought my boat from (4.5 hours from the plant) to see if they could stay late Saturday, etc. etc. Today I talk with Rodney at the Fountain Plant and find out that he has to go to a fishing torny on Saturday. He tells me nobody else can show us around :( :( . Talk about taking the wind out of your sail. Let me rephrase that....talk about sucking the premium out of your tank. You all know what happened next....yup, I had to break the news to my buds (You know the guys who all took the day off to see the plant). This Sucks!. I heard Rodney is a great guy from many people. I know this isn't his fault as his attendance at the torny was unexpected.
Maybe I'll go and bother Fred C. from Trick Marine :drink: . If I get a chance maybe I'll unload at Lake Norman . I'm also going to hang with the boys at OSO member M2's pad and get filthy drunk :cool: :drink: |

Need-The-Speed, if you still want a tour on Saturday, call 252-975-1132, and ask for Gail. I spoke with her and she will be glad to show you around. She is in the service and warranty department and is very knowledgable about the plant. It would be a shame to miss an oppurtunity to see the facility while you are in town.

Re: Now I'm bummin'
Guys Thanks for the all the help. Unfortunetly, After I hung up Rodney I cancelled the rooms, called the dealer explaining what happened and that I would be arriving 5 hours sooner, made new Friday night sleeping arrangements, and made plans to dunk the boat at Lake Norman. :evilb: At this moment, I'm unsure what time the boating will begin as I'm playing follow the leader. If I I get some specifics I will post em'. Thanks Again for all the help guy's!! The power of OSO...you have to love it :D
