I apologize to all the board members. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Tim Christian** · 02-24-2004, 11:09 PM

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 doing great!! My husband is self-employed, and so I am- hard work, but working towards a better future is always worth it!! Good luck!!

Excuses, Excuses. Have you not learned how to "clone" yet?

Congrats Tim on your success with the new store, its hard to keep up when you work another job, I'm with you I'd love to quit my full time job too but then I'd have to pay for golf.

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.

Tim,

I'm so glad to hear that the shop is doing that well! I hope it keeps it up! No apologies needed here ( still need to put that order together ) and keep us posted

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.

Oborny71 · 02-26-2004, 01:14 AM

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!

JimKshortstep4x4 · 02-26-2004, 12:50 PM

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.

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
