Pietenpoler's Yesterday I had an interesting experience with Spruce's online ordering through the Web that I thought I'd share with everyone. Some folks are into ordering online so this is for y'all. I went to order some wood, glue, and tubing from AS&S, and got all my part numbers in, amounts needed, and the online ordering software had calculated all my prices and total. I reviewed it, put in my card number, and hit submit, and Spruce's website replied back that there were errors in my order, SO I needed to review it, correct it, and resubmit. Okay, So I tried it again, again, again, and again. I finally gave up and figured I'd phone order it the next day. When I logged on to check email last night, I was greeted by 5 order confirmations! All the orders HAD been placed! It was no big deal, I called them this morning, and a nice lady there helped me to work through it all, and reduce my order to just one. She did think it was pretty funny, though, me too once it was worked out! I did tell them I think they have a software glitch. Maybe Y2K early! So, if you order from AS&S online, and get an error message, stop there! You may have already placed your order!Gary Meadows________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 09 Dec 1999 20:10:01 -0600

Del, you could do what the snowmobilers up here do in the winter.Add a snowmobile suite, boots mitts, helmet and face shield. Ihave done 2 hours solid at 70 mph on lake of the woods at -36Cbefore I started to feel the cold. The Piet with almost fullenclosure and proper widscreen will give the rider moreprotection than a snow machine does.For what it's worth....-=Ian=------ Original Message -----
