Welcome back Phil!!!

"Phil Reinhardt is returning to PeachParts!

He gave me a call and said he was tired of being retired and missed his many friends at PeachParts. We are thrilled that he's returning.

The announcement made me curious. What was it about retirement that Phil didn't like? Too many chores around the house?

Oddly enough just this AM before even opening the forum I had deleted Phils Peach Part address from outlook. What is the odds of that.

Sounds like he needs a couple of 300D's to play with.

He could have always taken up growing potatoes !

Every one now needs to realize that they have another living legend back & make good use of his knowledge.
