Hagen Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hi Randy, Sounds like you are in desperate need for some snow under your feet... ...how is the recovery going? Hagen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 You forgot 3 to post that relacing a bulb with another used bulb is inefficient and foolish, only certified new (not demo) bulbs should be used 2 to post that you paid too much for the used bulb, they could have sold you a better one cheaper and 5 to say that disposal of the old bulb is critical to the survival of our planet, and what is the best way to do it, and what did the poster do with the old bulb, AND did he try to sell it with a "for sale" in the classifieds? Good one Randy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric is still fairly active on the freecarve.com and catek forums, but I haven't seen him on BOL in like forever. I'm betting he'll be pretty busy for the next week and a half, what with everybody and their kids converging on Stratton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
