    Just received an email from skygear on 11/20/15

    Two assumptions I have:

    1. He was triggered to take action and is probably trying to figure out what he owes and to whom.

    2. He's so disorganized that he did not realize that the transaction between us, that started in January, was completed in April. Even after I emailed him saying I received the product, was probably updated by Paypal or USPS with delivery confirmation, posted pictures of the product in his for sale thread and spoke with him at great length (via phone) the day of installation.

    FYI:

    A few days ago I sent him a PM on expeditionportal encouraging him to do the right thing. His last activity there was at 8:54am. It was about an hour later that I received his email.

    Hopefully this means he is getting down to business and owns up to everything that has gone wrong.

    Wishing the best to those who have paid for product and not received it.

    Maybe someone should send him a list of the TW members still waiting for their orders or have incomplete orders to help guide him with who he owes what? Is the list on the first page correct and up to date?

    Sky's in here. I'm pretty sure the first page is up to date as it was compiled about 2 weeks ago by OP polling those involved. Get it right Sky, there's always room for redemption.

    in reference to the crime blogspot post. Ex business partner canceled checks on me as a way to say F-U when he couldn't pay back my 30k loan to him. The person in the post, was eventually taken care of.

    As for my name. Yes, I had a name change over 12 years ago. Never used it as an alias.

    Paying in bitcoins, yes. I did want to pay in bitcoins. There are legitimate uses of them and day trading and such. Even posted a thread on it.

    Being active on other places. yes, i have been. Trying to distract myself from the medical issue I have and that is the long and short of the posting.

    Check your emails people.

    I can only control the controllables. My apologies. I am not scamming anyone or intending to.

    Asking people to not address me as MIKE or MICHAEL on the boards was just a courtesy as I was running a few forums that I preferred people not pulling personal info from me. They are now gone and a moot point now.

    Was on the phone with PP for hours working things out and running EACH INVOICE>

    I emailed everyone to verify what has been done and not. I hired on a couple people over the past year that have put me back. Corrected the issue and went on with doing it myself. Got injured as dumb as it is/ ---- Eventually hired on 2 more guys, and again things got all buggered up. Disorganized? possibly. My fault 100%

    Received an email on an email account that I closed - can only receive on it - asking "did you receive your order?" I'll reply here.

    Kinda funny that in all that time trying to distract yourself from an injury you couldn't find 10 minutes to send out an email or post explaining the situation.. Hopefully it isn't another 6 months before people here from you again with another list of stories for why they haven't gotten their stuff.. :popcorn:

    Picking out interior options on Land Cruisers takes complete focus.

    I'm sitting in front of the boxes as I type this with a crimper in one hand and pain pills, relaxers, and a heat press in the other.

    Yes, I went looking at the land cruiser. it was interesting seeing that we road in one recently. I liked the option of an suv, considered getting rid of the tacoma for it. Since I do not work and we do not have an income to support that type of vehicle. Wanted to see what it was all about. I was asked to look into it for someone close to the family and I did.


    -----EDIT> Vehicle was also getting warranty/service done so I was killing time. Not wasting fuel.

    Cool story, In April I asked you to prepare a product that we discussed via email and telephone conversation and in return I gave you the agreed upon money for. Any chance you want to see what that is all about?

    I can bicker back and forth with everyone and again waste time doing such. I get it. I suck and no matter what I type out it is falling on deaf ears/eyes and is just excuses. I deserve it. If people really want an email update every week with me saying "Doctors telling me not to use my dominant arm right now, sorry!" I would send that to everyone.

    My mobile is not is what I would call working order right now either. Cant do the insurance thing since that is a small fortune to replace it. I check it online a couple times a day.

    So I am going to finish up the 3 boxes I have in front of me instead, and get these shipped. By monday, the rest should be in the mail.
