Carlisle tool bags and coolers

Cory,

 

Thank you for your efforts.

 

Checks for Tee shirt and tool bag in the mail today.

Cory -please forgive my ignorance - is there a post showing what the tool bag looks like?  I checked the fb page too.  I cant seem to find it.

Cory check is being mailed tomorrow for a tool bag. Let me know if you get enough interest to make a run, if not just shred it. 

you should have my check for cooler and Tee shirt by now.

 

Give a shout . . .

Tom Blankinship, Bruce Stumpp, Paul Mossberg, Danny Piperato, Kelly Frazer and Todd el-Taher have all come through on their cooler orders. I have their checks, AND the embroidery lady says she's going to have to upgrade either the size or quality of the coolers themselves because of a size difficulty with the ones she ordered.

 

She's selected a bold yellow for the stitching because, she said, it'll make the coolers look more professional. The white stitching looked nice, but she thought there was some room for improvement.

 

Kind of like "Bank Error in Your Favor," in Monopoly. We're getting a better bag, same embroidery and at the same cost. That's pretty awesome -- so I went ahead and stuck my neck out and ordered all 20.

 

Please don't let me down. Six orders down, 14 to go. Operators are standing by.

Tool bag orders so far are in from Peter Venuti, Joe Fortino, Paul Mossberg and Jeni Jackson (for her Mustang, believe it or not). 

 

I ordered the bags Friday afternoon, and the embroidery lady says she's going to be able to absolutely make them happen by the first week in May. There's a small margin for error there, and I'll shoot a picture of the prototype as soon as one's made.

 

That's four bags spoken for out of 20 ordered.

Cory, should should have a cooler check from me too.

Mailed on 4/4

Scott -- still no images, but it's a revision (updating the year) of the tool bag discussed and pictured in this thread:

For some reason, whenever I try to upload an image to the site here, the computer doesn't know how to act. I'm starting to think it's the settings. If I wasn't a complete rube, I'd have figured this out by now.

 

* NOTE: That old thread is from 2010. *

 

Tom, I just updated the list. You are correct, sir. Thank you. I'm keeping the list here and on a piece of paper at the house, to make doubly sure that everyone's taken care of accurately.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Cory I would like a cooler, is it to late? do you have a paypal account?

 

Cory: mailed you a check on 4/5/14.  Did you receive it? It has not yet cleared my bank.

 

Thanks,  Art

Whit, no PayPal account. It's not too late, though. April 15 is the cutoff -- but since all this stuff's paid for already and you're essentially paying me back for money I've already spent, I'll look for checks after that.

Art, not yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. I'm sorry for the earlier confusion -- the Popeye reference. That wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.

This is an annual, self-inflicted kick in my own butt. It started a bunch of years ago; I spend money on souvenirs (as have several others) and usually take a loss; it's just in the interest of having something souvenir-ish that doesn't cost a lot for those who want something to take home.

Every year, I tell myself I won't do it again, but every year, somehow I do. :-|

I do thank you for your support. Seriously. And I honestly think you'll like the shirts when they arrive on your doorstep.

Cory, thanks, no worries mate!

I'll take another "cool" cooler at Carlisle. Sounds like things are starting to move along.

Cory, 

 

This is a recording (you have heard it before): "Only order for what you have money in hand, only order for what you have oney in hand, only order for what you have money in hand...". 

Cory do you have snail mail address posted, so I can get this check in the mail.

 

I just emailed you his contact info

As of 04/22/14, here's the latest and greatest on the checks received for tool bags and coolers:

 

ZERO tool bags, paid for one cooler(and two T-shirts!). I have 2 tool bags from the first run years ago. I figured I'd take another cooler to help you sell them all. Didn't pay for cooler #2 yet.

If it's easier I'll take 1 2x 1 xl and two coolers and pay for them at the show.  Tom

Guys, right now, fewer than half of the run of 20 -- either the 20 coolers or the 20 tool bags -- have been spoken for. I'll be bringing them, and the remainder will be first-come, first-served.

 

I REALLY don't want to take them home with me.

Cory, I'll Take a tool bag I'll pay you at the show.

 Thank You for all the hard work.

Cory, if you have any left after Carlisle, I'll take a tool bag and a 2X shirt and pay for the shipping to Arizona. Maybe having them will give me more incentive to get there next year.

Roger that, guys. Thank you.

Cory---please reserve one tool bag for my wife, Alice.  I'll bring the monet for it to Carlisle.

 

She thinks that it will make a great carrying bag for her bible!  May have something to do with praying we make our destination in the Speedster---I don't know exactly!

 

Anyway---thanks for doing this for her.

She'll be the coolest lady in her Sunday school class, Jack! 

Jack,

 

You are living up to your reputation: the coolest Southern Gentleman on the planet.  Looking fwd to seeing you and your Bible-toting co-pilot in a few days.

Humm - didn't think about Mother's Day!  Would be one less costly Coach bag she'd need.

Average Coach handbag is $300.  Their revenues were down 7% and profit off 20%, this past quarter.  Their response was to raise prices, as they defined their customer as "reasonably wealthy."
