Are you suggesting that we call and ask why the **** they are dragging their ******* ***** getting the tanks we ordered in March and that were scheduled for May delivery? Because I'm not sure it'll work :)

Oh, you said polite... excuse me!

[JimC]

I'm tempted to walk in on Tuesday and make an apointment, but I'v setteled for a voicemail and e-mail for now.

We'll see, no vacation bounce yet.

Lets hope they get here before the ice does

Should we all e-mail this guy and complain to apply some high pressure??

[JimC]

I asked him when we could expect to see the paper work get finished and the tank for sale.


I personaly wouldn't complain to these guys, that might cause them to stick the paperwork in a drawer and forget about it for 6 months. I would save the complaints for Honourable David M. Collenette, P.C., M.P., Minister of Transport. Hes from the Greater Toronto Area.. so if your in his riding you can probably start talking votes to get his attention.

I talked to Dan today and he said the approvals are done and his first 36 E8-130s should be in Sept 22nd (I think he said 31 are spoken for, and that he's really looking forward to putting together all those doubles :out: )
