Someone you might want to have bookmarked...

A couple of astute observations, some food for thought, and in the "racism no longer exists in America" files...

Being on a boat in some out-of-the-way places where you can't just go down to the local metal store and buy the needful bits it's good to have someone you can depend on back in the real world.

One such company that I use is Online Metal Supply who is based in Missouri and are purveyors of any number of needful materials for boats. The nice thing is when you call them up you're guaranteed that the person answering the phone has an IQ above room temperature. Sadly, a lot of companies these days can't make that claim...

Just the other day I asked someone in the States if he could mail something and he told me that he could not because his product was bigger than a PO Box and that he was pretty sure US Mail did not deliver to the US Virgin Islands because it was foreign... Obviously a guy a couple of sandwiches short of the proverbial picnic.

Not the case with Online Metal Supply they know how to ship stuff in a way that is fast, affordable, and will get to you in an undamaged state. Better yet, their prices are excellent. What's not to love?
