Didn't you have to put money down with the order? I would think you'd have to kiss it goodbye if you cancel after the order is in.

What was it that you ordered Tim?  Must not have been from any of our sponsors.  Never heard a bad word about any of them.  My experience with Peterson was, and still is nothing short of fantasitc.

I'm not going to slam the sponsers but it was one of them. The saw is great the service was not.

Be patient Buddy and let Jeff see what he can do to help.  I would guess that it is an isolated incident and can be resolved.  Don't give up on the saw that you like and settle for something else that you may not be happy with.  Good luck!

Peterson will (return a deposit) and did.

I had to get my deposit back because of fate..  :D

Never changed horses. Did tell my wife if she wasn't careful I would trade her in on two models half her age. She asked "how I'd like it if I couldn't see her for a while." I said that would be just fine by me. The swelling went down and my eyes begin to open after about three days. She has fist like hickory nuts.  :D :D :D

I gave a $5,000 horse away to one of my students 3 years ago, as hers hung itself by accident.  She needed a new cowpony for roun-up, so I sent here mine for keeps.   As to changing mills, due to service or a glitche in "communication" or "misunderstanding" of parts or something, never.

RE wives, you guys got it easy....

Mine's a veterinarian that castrates animals for a living (someting like 15,000 so far).  Takes her less than a minute on many breeds... (although it takes longer for her technicians to prep the animal).

I shore don't want to wake up without some important parts, so I try not to pith her off... (I also sleep on my stomach)

When I told my forty year old wife I was gonna trade her in for two twentys  she just laughed and asked if she could pay to watch! She figured she didn't need to kill becouse 2 young ones would!

220 3 phase :D :D :D :D :D

I stay inline cause Kate can hit a soda bottle 200yards with my encore.  I'm just worried about getting in the drive.  getting to sleep would be the least of my problems.
