Steamin’ mad

For my birthday, my wife was going to order me a livewell timer (currently, running the aerator is a manual operation). To make a long story short, the only place I found a rocker-switch – as opposed to a toggle switch – was at theshadconnection.com.

She ordered it, and the web page generated an automated response that the order was received. This was over a month ago now. The card still has not been charged, no timer has showed up, and I’m starting to get pretty peeved about the whole deal.

The website lists a fax number and two email addresses. All inquiries (about 5 now) to the email addresses have been ignored. They didn’t bounce, so it seems fair that they went through. Perhaps I’ll try again with a return receipt to see if anyone is checking them.

I feel for ya John, Go on out to Rad shack and get it over with. They ought-a have what you need.

Going on vacation this week with the fam, so maybe that’ll cool me down a bit. If it doesn’t, maybe the two of us should go take it out on some whitebass.

Gianni, I know how you feel. I have ordered many prducts for fishing from various web sites and had some deliveries occur within three to 4 days! Outstanding service! Then I ordered “The Gorilla” charging system for my boat and it took like 2 1/2 months to get it? Maybe it’s just one of those “stuff happens” things? I had to e-mail the vendor three times and was getting concerned about my money being gone when the order finally showed up. Hang in there, it should show up. Hope it’s not an emergency.

Gianni!
What you need is the BFD livewell timer!!! Every fifteen minutes or so it gives one of three different commands.
HEY MORON,start the aerator!!!
HEY MORON stop the aerator!!!
HEY MORON, check the ice on the Schlitz!!!
The downside to this system is obvious

B: Sounds exactly like the system I’m running now. Fortunately, when I keep fish in the well, they’re almost always panfish, and there’s a boat full of rowdy kids who love nothing more than playing with all the switches (read: automated aerator timer).

Maybe we should all get out and take this out on some whites, it’ll be good practice for the FTR get together. Sure would be nice if an Iowan could win something other than ‘longest drive.’

Gianni ??

You bringing your golf clubs ? I must have missed the longest drive contest last time

Not a bad idea: a bag of clubs and a bucket of range balls. We could sit at the resort and down a cold one while taking pot-shots at power-cruisers as they blast by at max-wake speed.

I’m sure Steve wouldn’t mind – until the cops showed up that is.

G – I tried to pull up that website and it didn’t come up. But that is really bad business. If your card hasn’t been charged yet you might just call your CC company and cancel that order. They dropped the ball when the did not reply to your emails. Good luck!

Sure would’ve been nice if they’d have disabled their ordering before they went out of business. Now I’ve got to try to find an alternative place to get it.

HEY MORON–TAKE ME FISHIN’!!!!
