Curious if business has tapered off and this is a result of the economic issues we all are facing.

You always seemed to be busy, did that change recently on the service side of things?

Best of luck!

Thanks!

We've had slower times at the shop that what we are at right now, and business was starting to look good again after the Holidays. I've been having to cancel incoming jobs for the last several days, since Brent told me about his departure Thursday. Brent has been in charge of the shop for about six years for me, I don't have anyone that can replace him and do tuning too.
I've been putting off surgery because there was no way I could take off the time that I'd need off because our phones are so busy. Without having to do quotes for the service side, take care of the service billing, making sure I have the parts needed for the incoming job, etc, it will help me out for the time being.

Thanks, we appreciate it. I will miss doing to install write-ups, I really like doing it. In another lifetime I had worked at MTI, which was an aerial lift company. I was there for 24 years, too long... I started as a welder there, and worked my way up the ladder into Engineering using Autocad. My last job there, I was in charge of a group of guys where we started doing installation manuals for the assembly lines, and the goal was to be able to bring in a new employee to that part of the line, have instructions through illustrations that showed how to do that part of the job without the person being able to read. I liked doing this, and I found doing to builds on my website to be fun as well.

Sorry to hear about the wife Bob. One of my close co-workers has been off on disability for almost the last year with some weird thyroid issue. He too has seen a handfull of Doctors who only seem to feed him pills to no sucess. I too will say a quick prayer for the two of you.

Thanks, I like doing the completeness! The thyroid can throw off doctors, as we have found out. It has been diagnosed as many other things that were wrong with her, and it has turned out into being a long road. Thanks for the prayers, we appreciate it. Bob
