I would have received by thurs for sure. No more group buys from Tillman says I.

 

I wonder if this is the SOP for the Tillman shop? Or am I just being over amped on the Subject?

 

I guess it's a pet peave of mine when I buy somthing over the net I expect it to be shipped out most ricky tick or I tend to think that I got hosed.

 

Well... I call tomorow. I kinda like things to be shipped on time too. I was planning on installing them this weekend....

 

They won't ship until tomorrow...
From Tilman...

"I have them all packaged and labeled, the UPS guy will pick up tomorrow morning, and UPS QuantumView will automatically send out emails when the driver scans for pickup. Thanks!!

Paul.......heard anything on my pulleys ?

 

For the three of us interested in H pipes I suggest we go with Jeffs recommendation and wait a week to see what Ninosport comes out with and if nothing then go with the Pypes.....do we have a plan ??

 

So are you going to put together a group buy for us Bob?

 

Dave, chill. They are shipping tomorrow. In his defense it was President's Day today. I understand your anxiuosness. My driveshaft won't ship til later this week or next due to it being custom made. My CMCV deletes are back ordered one more week and my gears were supposed to ship Friday but with all the crappy weather in the north it won't ship until tomorrow or wednesday. We all need to do what buddah say and chill bro

 

Don't blackball the guy yet. See what the products and his customer service is like.

 

Jeff, yes I will try a group buy or a great buy....

Still want to see what Ninosport says, will try to call tomorrow.

 

Well I wont completely "blackball" the guy but you can sure tell the difference between an established company and one just getting started. Like I said if I'd gone with brenspeed they would have shipped out on Fri. last week as soon as they had received payment. As for Presidents day I guess if he's using the USPS then it makes sense but I think he said he was using UPS which I don't believe is affected by the holiday, and if thats the case then its just poor business.

 

But what about my coral!

 

I have decided to blackball the coral! there are plenty of shipwrecks that can be a great home to the fishies therefore I must boycott the coral

How much or at what rate does a coral reef grow?

 

Again, PA got hit with one hell of a snow storm. Everyone up there had problems. Brenspeed was even shut down for a day or so from what I heard.

 

I love coral too but I love cars more, sorry

 

Let me know what they say. I tried to get them to say something on the forums here but all I got was "Patience guys and gals." Maybe you calling them will get them to fess up to when they expect to release these things.

 

If you do a group thing or great buy try Brenspeed and get him to match Tillman's price.

 

Any update on the t-shirts and stuff from Randy? What about the website?

I plan to call Randy tomorrow or Wednesday to find out about Benji, the gear installer, to see if he wants to make some extra money.

 

Ok... you asked... So... get my soapbox out.

Rates vary greatly. Depends on the species and depth. Generally speaking however, a long time. For example... A common brain coral will take anywhere from 20-30 years to grow 3 ft in wide.

That's why when you see bleached coral (Dead Coral) its not a good thing. Bleached coral is a direct result of the water heating up so quickly that the coral can't adjust or caused by chemical posioning. Just few degree shift can kill coral and other delicate marine life. I have seen more and more of it and talked to local islanders that have seen the same thing.

In some parts of the world, entire reefs are being destroyed. 1000's of years of growth... When a reef dies, so do many ecosystems, and so on so forth...

Basically, it's not a question of how long it takes to grow; it's keeping alive what's out there.

I know it's hard to think about living here in the dust bowl but, Oceans give life guys... with out them, we become worm food. Until the worms die too...
