Russ Merritt goes out west to work for...

[WE4]

PTS XTREME TRANSMISSIONS!

Bruce Toelle and Russ Merritt have joined forces. Russ has traveled out to California and is having a blast! I am sure he will post as he is asleep and I wanted him to wake up to this.( I slave drive work him! LOL)
We kept it quiet until he was here and we have been working together for a week or so. With this added talent , we now have the capability to keep up with orders. Once Mark is back , we will really be rocking. Also a new secratary, named Ericka, came on board. She is a great girl up in the front office. Russ is just amazed at what he is now doing now, and doing very well I might add.
As Len in Las Vegas put it, " There goes the neighborhood" LOL
I am glad he is here and what he has already learned. He will do very well and we are having fun doing it. Together, we WILL be a force to be reckoned with!
Oh well, thought I would drop the bomb!

Congrats!

Thats great...now be on the lookout for a crate coming to you on Wednesday 11/23. I can't wait!!! :biggrin:

 

[Russ Merritt]

Have fun out there meatball

Thanks bro....... PLANES SUCK!!!

Honestly, quality wise it's nothing I didn't already expect as I have Bruces trans and have bought parts for a couple years now. Seeing the process of Bruce actually building one of his transmissions is truely a work of art and believe me when I say, the article he wrote, "strengthening the 2004R" is only a FRACTION of what he really does to one of these!!! Unbelieveable to watch...... Adam and Mark prep ALL the parts to BETTER THAN NEW condition! Everything gets blasted, polished, washed, dried and is set up on the prebuild table just like the pic on the site..... I can't say enough bout the quality, really great to actually see in action.....

Having a good time so far and looking forward to helpin out....

11/23 is the day? I'll be looking for it Warp 6. You will not be disappointed dude!!

Russ:

Now that I think about it, you may want your '87 TR with you there. I'll be willing to fly back there & drive it out West for you, on your bill Russ, of course!

Hey, I already put Russ to work this week by having him check out some transmission cores I dragged in!

Maybe I'll run by some Jones Soda Thanksgiving flavors so Russ won't get homesick: Turkey and Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, Brussels Sprout, Cranberry, and Pumpkin Pie. See:

Don't worry Matt, I'll be back next week. It's not like I took any money from you or somethin........

Actually can't wait to talk to you, face to face. I'll call you the minute I get home.... Hopefully you can come up soon after. Get this whole thing squared away.

 

[Russ Merritt]

Thanks a bunch guys! No, I didn't bring the dogs and boy do I miss em....

Going back next week to take care of business and bills. Def home sick.....

 

[matt87]

Russ, you know i still think of you as a good friend, been through to much to let this mess things up. i just want a resolution that works for us both. shoot, if friendships lasted as long as these engines, no one would have any friends.

Russ
sounds like things are going pretty well, look at it this way with all the traveling you rack up the skymiles. Can't thank you enough for all the good info you gave me when we were in Dick mobile home, really appriciate it and know you are going to have a blast out there. And I know your attention to detail is going to come into a huge benefit for Bruce and the guys.
When you get a chance (HA) email me, just had a few more questions when you can.
