Bob does his best... but I've noticed that of late he has become distracted rather more frequently than, oh, say twenty five years ago. What do I attribute it to? Age? Could it be? .....nah.

Of course you know it's just a question of money. I have no doubt that if we put, say, $5k down in front of him not only would he don the costume, he'd post it on YouTube as well. I'm willing to belly up to the bar with my wallet and chip in to the kitty.

I tried to bribe Bob by suggesting that he get Peter to also wear the costume ... and they could appear at Carlisle in the booth with the slogan " ERA is on our toes for our customers " or something like that ... no luck .
On the 4 " oil cooler issue , Bob said they have some new sheetmetal and tubes that are available to allow this cooler to fit the relocated body and it will be available as soon as they get some parts back from the powdercoater .

In deference to Peter, he is particularly hard to bribe. I tried unabashedly to move myself up in the ERA wait line a few years ago by throwing money at him and failed miserably. In fact, it got to the point where he simply told me to stop trying or he would punish me in some fashion. I hate it when that happens....

Money won't do it... now food might. Say, a large Italian hot sausage grinder with Italian peppers that he can filter through his mustache.

Jim -- A completely unpleasant visual of that is not what I needed before lunch today.
