I'm trying to help out Bush league. He gave Nightscapes a little run for his $ so I figured I'd throw him a bone. You keep defending my arch enemy Nightscapes and I'm taking you off my Christmas list. So there.
Well stop doing that. I had to go take a blood pressure pill because of your a**!
Besides, I told you before that I don't have to agree with your ass to be your friend. I'll keep you on my Christmas card list because I know I stand taller (yet poorer) than you.

I was just breaking your balls a little with the buy and sell bs. I was reponding in the voice of Bush. Nothing personal just kidding. Who knows maybe he can buy and sell you ten times over, though it's yet to be seen. Hope to hear more from the Bush leager.

Chris in the next month or so I'm going to send you a product I'm developing and ask you to test it, put it through it's rigors and ask for your opinion. I will have a return label for you to send it back to me. If I don't receive it back with your comments within 2 weeks of sending I will have your legs broken. Fair enough?
This product is going to change the landscape lighting world forever. You should feel honored to be chosen for this task. Are you game or should I send to Eddie Clemons instead?:clapping:
Mike,
After reading this post again, I felt the need to thank you for your trust. Obviously you think enough of me to trust me with your product, and I didn't pick up on this in my initial reading of your post. I would be honored to test your product, and I would consider it a great priviledge to be the first to see your new designs. You may contact me with any provisions you may have, otherwise, I look forward to seeing your designs.

mike good to see you back on here. I been away for a few weeks it seems. Had us a nice vacation in cali and did the garlic festival (I grew up in gilroy) Amazing to see the price of homes out there! My friends just bought a 2 bedroom 1 bath house about 1100 sq ft... worth 600k... unreal.
Dunno if you can trust them florida boys with your secret. They get a bit too much sun on thier noggins. Chris and his pills (also read as budwieser) makes me wonder sometime. Just finished an install in the 102 degree heat. I think I know why them flordians are like they are!
All in good fun Chris... no need for another pill!

Hey Billy, not really back on. I saw someone criticize Nightscapes and I couldn't control myself . I was overwhelmed with joy and took the opportunity to pile on. But since no one has joined in I see the loyalty to the Longhorn
runs deep so I'm going back into my sequestration (is that a word ?) I may be including you in my product evaluation so stay tuned.regards,

Hey Mike G. Whatever you are cooking up.... If you want to properly test your product for the elements let me know... get it to me before December 1st and put it to our winter testing.... Here in Port Sydney we usually get a cold snap of about -40 for a week or so in January and regularly have seasonal accumulations of 10 to 14 feet of snow. You would be amazed at how many lighting products fail in these conditions.
If your idea is a Digital Hour Meter for measuring accumulated on-time on a transformer.... forget it.... I thought that one up and gave it to Nightscaping last year. T-SS-HM is the part number. A great tool for monitoring system maintenace intervals in seasonal / vacation markets where people don't use their system every night.
Have a great day. :canadaflag:

Thanks James but what I have is impervious to hot and cold weather. I still remember the days years back of my giving every idea to Bill Locklin. No Mo!:usflag:Hey Mike G.

From what I've seen in the field...I'd never consider a Hadco over Kichler. I had a customer with a $1mil home call me up because the wires running through his garage wall had melted down and put black marks up the wall. Hadco transformer. It even melted down the plastic around the taps, but the breakers never kicked off.
I installed a new Kichler trans to see why this happened, and the breakers kicked off in about 2 seconds. I put my amp probe on the runs to find out why it was kicking, and it was because the 12/2 wire was running 27 AMPS! Just a bit overloaded, eh?
Needless to say, after seeing this I would never use a Hadco trans.
