Good morning.

Enjoying a very strong first cup :coffee2:
Poured mine when it was less than half done brewing.

That should be a strong cup of :coffee2: Good morning to you this fine dry Thursday :glasses7:
 
Man, these parts vendors are really getting incompetent.... Even the old established ones are screwing up... :finga:

You call them on the phone, tell them exactly what you want, they tell you that they have it, then when you get it, they sent the wrong part.... :banghead:

I ordered a rear brake hose from inline tube, told them that I need a rear hose with at least 12 1/2" or hose between the fittings, and they send me the one with 10 1/2"....

I have one of those already that doesn't fit.... :finga:

Now I gotta call them and return it.... :banghead:


I called Mancini Racing for some flex plate bolts, they sent me the 12 point ones, I like the 6 point ones, as I have 6 point sockets for them. I don't like 12 point sockets and try not to buy them if I don't have to... :violent1:

So I call them to return the 12 point ones and exchange them for 6 point ones, and they send me the 6 point ones with a return slip for the 12 point bolts.... :glasses7:

Then I send back the 12 point bolts with the return slip after getting the 6 point bolts and installing the trans to the engine now.... :D

So I ordered another part last week and asked if they received the return, and they can't verify if they had... :banghead:

So a package arrives from them the other day with 12 point flex plate bolts (in a different type of packaging) with a receipt stating that the 6 point flex plate bolts were cancelled by MP in 2009.... :finga:

THEN HOW DID THEY SEND ME A SET A WEEK AND A HALF AGO???? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

They are only as good as the least competant person that touches your order. Since there is probaby someone different taking he order, stocking the shelf, pulling the order, shipping... Too many opportunities to screw up. They almost all depend on computer being right. Not like when a guy took your order and pulled the part while you were on the phone to confirm it was right, and packed it up when he got off the phone, then shipped it himself... Those vendors are nearly all gone.
 
Site is run by same administrator ??

Yep, even after some posts here that there were viruses there, and then the admin stating that there were not...

Right after I went there, my computer crashed and I had to do a complete format and recovery on my hard drive....

Too much hassle for me to take any more chances, I stay out of there now...

Looks good! Finished up the water heater last night, I can never be a pro plumber! I actually had two fitting that were cracked! I could not believe it.
 
The ones that were cracked were for copper, 3/4 tube to 3/4 female thread goes onto the tank, , casting defect on both a small hairline crack you could barley see, It was just a pain in the arse, sweat one on the one up from it would leak, The whole house is copper pipe.
 
Good Morning all. I have been busy this morning. Doing what I haven' t figured out yet. lol
 
I've never had softshell Mitch. I need to try it sometime. Looks good but for breakfast?

You'd be surprised what I eat for breakfast sometimes ! Heck, people eat breakfast for dinner. So why not Dinner for Breakfast ?
