Smile I apologize to all the board members.

Hey Guys and Gals, I Apologize to everyone for being behind. I will have everybodys order shiped out in the morning and be caught up on that end. Back orders have killed me the last couple of weeks we are doubling up on our orders. I am also answering all the price quotes in the morning on E-mails and PM's. I tell you all the new store is booming locally and I guess I was not prepared!!!!! Also do remember I do work another full time Job!!!(Which I would love to quit) Thanks Tim @ Christian's Classics

Glad to hear the store is going so well Tim.I'll bet Mrs.Christian is helping to stay on top of it,too.Remember to stop once in a while and take her to dinner or something, she surely deserves it for putting up with your addiction.

Time to hire additional help. I would guess you are thinking you can't afford to. On the other hand can you afford NOT to. Good luck, and I hope your business will do well.

As a business owner myself, wait till you hire employees, if you think its rough now, wait to see how many headaches you get when hiring! Sounds like you have a good problem on your hands though good luck!

Talking

Tim,

I did not need an apology from you. I have always thought that you are way to busy!

Good luck and try to take it easy.

Jim

Tim I hope you make back in November to Moultrie Ga. I will probably need some more parts by then. I will call about a grill for the 71 in a couple of days. Remember Butter not Butternut

Later
