Mr. Fixit -
Vern doen't need defending. This is his modus operandi.
Been there; done that.

Steven -
Review my e-mails to you. He's been all too predictable. Now that he says Jan. 15, I'm guessing end of March, maybe. Snow will be used in upcoming excuses (which, to a degree, will be true for a long trip from Amhurstberg, Ontario, Canada to Washington for the next few months, but he uses it in less obvious ways to explain delayed completion). Just wait him out. He's got you by the balls. Piss him off and you will be moaning this time next year. (The Sterling Heights address is only his mail drop - no 'garage', as such. It's a junkyard where Vern rents a shed for parts delivery. He picks up his mail at the front office. I've been there twice. I heard, somewhere, that he is not using it anymore. I could have my son check it out. He is only 10 minutes away).

Regards,
