This forum goes away on March 4th, 2019
Forum is up for grabs only to someone I trust.

Retirement from eCommerce is coming and with it goes this forum.
Hope to be only doing a holiday season after this year.
Just cause, I can't give it up. <smile>
And the tax write-offs.

I'm going to turn off the lights and close the door on my way out.

Steve/WayOutWest has agreed to take over the forum.
I'll still be hanging around.
Sliding into this 'retirement' of mine slowly.
Many thanks to Steve for keeping this forum going.

Sorry that I let it lapse for a little bit.  Got crazy busy at show in Houston.     On plus side, we had best year ever at the show (whereas many vendors we know had worst year ever).

Forum seems to be zooming faster.
Wonder if by reuploading it cleaned out the built up cache....

Thanks, Steve.

Thank you Steve for keeping this up. I'm not on here as much as before but I do enjoy it here. Can talk about stuff that Amazon can't snoop in on.

So very happy that Steve, WayOutWest, took it upon himself to save this forum.

UncleLeroy & Donna - welcome. Thanks for being here   fair season almost over so I'll be able to be around more soon.  Also trimming down the shows, making even more time.

Waving like crazy...
Hey Steve!
Be careful on the roads.

Thanks. It's been crazy this season. Heard a horrible noise from rear of truck after loading it to head to Milwaukee, so had to unload it, take it in, then reload it (was pinion bearing). Then for next leg of trip, the truck busted a leaf in one leaf spring and got a leak in an air ride (air bag suspension between leaf spring and frame). Had to pull over every 30 mins on drive from Milwaukee to Saint Paul to add more air to air ride. Got that fixed while fair was going on, but took two trips to repair shop because they didn't check their work the first time (argh!). Slide out on trailer having problems again, Even though we just got it fixed. Now I gotta replace radiator on truck and trace wire on taillight to find why it's not working.  On the plus side, it could all be worse, right?

In other news, we told the Wisc State Fair that even though we've been there for 33 yrs, this is our last year there. Their 13 hr days and fair mgmt pissy attitude towards vendors isnt worth the little bit of $ we make.  Regardless of situation, you weigh misery Vs. money and in the case of that show, the misery factor is way too high.
