NorthEast trip alert! Timing Belts Rockers! Who needs work?

Gabe and Bevis74 - Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I'll PM you shortly.

Everyone else: This trip hasn't happened yet, partly because the weather this winter has just been nutty... But the biggest reason is NOBODY has sent a deposit in!

I've already made one trip to NYC this year, and won't have a problem making another, but I can't give anyone an accurate travel total unless I have confirmed participants. The middle of March is looking like the time I might make the next trip, but that is also depending on who confirms and when they would like to have me stop by.

When are you coming to the area? I seen a possible Lancaster job posted, which is across the river from me. I have had my timing belt done in May but want to get metal glow plugs and have the weeks elbow kit to instal. I'm about nervous about breaking the glow plugs to do it myself.

Well, I haven't heard back from anyone yet with either a yes or no... Nobody has confirmed with a deposit, so at the moment, I'm not heading anywhere.

I'm blaming it on the winter weather right now, and that is OK. But there are some folks with more urgent needs, and I'm frankly a bit surprised that they haven't sent in a deposit to get my attention and get me on the road to them.

Anyone thinking about this - The ball is always in your court. As soon as I get a deposit, we can talk solid scheduling and I am at your disposal - I'm a freelancer, so my schedule is always open for changes. I will happily work with you.

Well my stuff is not urgent, I can wait. in fact I really don't want to part with my ceramic glow plugs since they are working so good, but I know its a good Idea long term. I don't want to run up up here for just that, but willing to work out a deal if you will not be far away. let me know how the plan unfolds I can probably wait a while.

TORONTO is a confirmation! I have heard from others who are West of Toronto, and then some members that are near Detroit, Chicago...

The only way to confirm that you want me to stop by and work on your CRD is with the deposit. The deposits are fully refundable until I leave on the trip, which at this time is looking like the third week of April.

TIME IS RUNNING SHORT!

Right now, the schedule is that I will be working on the CRD in Toronto on the 16th of April, after flying back from Las Vegas (from my convention).

If you would like me to work on your CRD, the ONLY WAY that I can add anyone to the schedule is with the refundable deposit. I have to plan my route and time out the hotels and work schedules for each member so that each of you gets my full attention when I'm there.

I have a new method for the deposits if anyone doesn't like Paypal (I'm not too fond of them either) - Google Wallet. It is FREE to send and receive money depending on how you fund it, and any deposits you send me will be FULLY REFUNDABLE if you have to back out, until I actually leave and start the trip. Right now, that means that any deposit would be refundable until April 5th, ONE MONTH FROM TODAY.

Deposits are the same for everyone: $200, and the Google Wallet email is simple: gatoraudio [at] gmail [dotcom]

There is still time if you are on the fence, but not much!

Chicago area?
Detroit?
Ohio Valley?
Pennsylvania Dutch?
Eastern Long Island?
Connecticut?
I can't believe I didn't need spell check for those?

If you are interested and want me coming to your CRD... You've expressed interest in the past, but I haven't heard from you with either a NO or a deposit yet. Now is the best time, thanks!
