Another big job

[nate chase]

Chuck,
Funny, on my deal thats what I told my friends (but certainly not my
wife)! Sad to say it is not too far from the truth as you'll see when the
bill comes. Wish you all the best on your efforts, guy.

Nate 75GB (Constant effort is all it takes to own one of these
beauties)Omaha



Leaving Friday for Mexico Beach Florida, with SO and the Royale, going to
spend a few days in the sun, then stop by Mrs Bounds little boy Jimmy's
place, drop off motor home, along with the deed to my house, and hopefully
return in a month or so with many many mods complete, and leave behind the
Childrens tuition money.
(what doesn't kill them will make them stronger)

Will bring Black list and hopefully not use it.

Any one on the normal Mn to Florida route? (whatever that is)

Chuck & Nate,

Man, you make me feel bad! Dud, its a big bugger with alota parts! You
told me you wanted it filleted!

I'm just kidding, I appreciate you guys & will do everything in my power to
make things work well for you.

To get Chucks coach out on time, wem will have to limit our other
activities a bit , it's nuts around here!

Actually, based on Chucks job and the volume of other work I have in house,
I'm putting the shop on 4x10 hour work days and am going to have to limit
the tech calls and orders to 4 days a week to focus on in house work!

If you hang around here for any length of time, you see us doing so many
things that I need to start a focus program to keep things running smoothly.

Mondays will be set aside to catch up with the workload, better organise
the paper flow & timely orders and to allow my bleeding fingers to heal
abit when needed.

You guys and your coaches are very important to me (especially you netters)
& do not want to loose sight of why we do this!

Bring it on Chuck, it won't hurt (much) & we'll light your rocket together!

Clearing a space as we speak,

Jim Bounds

Hey guys!

I had the rare opportunity to drive the dumpster last Thursday night.
Followed Jim down to Tampa while he delivered another coach to its owner.

For an ugly duckling it drove pretty nice. But then the roads there are
pretty flat ;> I expected the coach to handle a bit squirrely because of
the oversized wheels & tires on the Dumpster - but it was real tame.

Jim's coach is stock engine and tranny - but no holding tanks, internal
partitions etc. The stock configuration moved real well, good acceleration
and no noticable front end bounce as I drove over railroad tracks etc. I'm
certain that it will slow down a bit with the insides built out.

While I was there Friday morning Jim had a half dozen tech calls, one coach
picked up, other drop-in for tire trueing, and all of the regular scheduled
work under way - and I was only there for a bit over an hour.

Is there anything that we can do to help keep things smooth on your end?

Spoke with Jim today, a big attraction of doing business with his company: you talk directly with the guy that's doing the work! But I can understand that he needs to schedule his time and focus or burn out.. ( I suppose he'll need to sleep sometimes too...(g)

Anyway, one of his in-house projects is our baby, and it's well on it's way to paint now, with all it's body bo-bo's all fixed. Am I excited?....oh boy, oh boy, oh boy....but what if I made a mistake in the chosen color? Maybe shoulda gone with the red....or beige...or maybe I shoulda held out for the Frank Lloyd Wright design.!! (Fortunately it's too late to change my mind again. The paints there, ready for the
spray....^_^ )

Anneke, I am GREEN with envy! IF I had the money I would have to decide
between a badly needed paint job OR replacing an engine with over 300,000
miles on it. Cosmetics OR.......motive power?? That, as the man said, "Is
the question"
