Well, might as well make it official.  I'm selling the shop and or parting it out.  Most likely parting it out.  After much thought has been put into it I've decided to go the route of writer/teacher for my next leg of automotive.  After 33 years of running a shop I guess you could say... I've seen it done it and own lots of T shirts. 

Equipment wise I've got most everything up for sale.  Including a few specialty tools that aren't even around anymore.  Such as a gauge tester for anything from 95 on back... Very handy.  I'll try to put together a list... but if there is something you'd like to know if I have one... send me a message.  I'll get back to you. 

I've seen slow, and I've slower. But, in all my 30 plus years I haven't seen it this slow. It's all over town too. weird.....everybody said it's slow.

Doing a radio interview on Thursday with the Remarkable Results radio show. Should be a hoot.

What a night in Oklahoma. Tornado touched down about 5 miles from my house. My wife and I were at a restaurant at the time... which was only a mile from it. I actually saw the tornado drop out of the sky while I was having a beer and eating chips and salsa. The rushed all the patrons to the backroom. It passed us in about 20 minutes. Then, we reordered or meals. LOL... what a night. Wife can't say I don't take her anywhere exciting now. LOL

I am in California for the birth of my second grandson! Be home next week.

Happy Birthday Joe! It takes age to make a fine wine. Have another glass... you'll age just fine too.

Crazy week... From a 66 T Bird to a 2011 F150. A test light on one and a scanner on the other. But, both with the same problem... no pwr windows. It's amazing how the technology has changed. What's next? wireless windows???? LOL

Saw this on a coffee cup, "I'm a mekanic, a mecanik, a makanik,... Ok, I fix cars"

I'd like to say I don't piss people off, but I do. I'm set up in my shop to do electrical repair...not engine work, such as major oil leaks...etc... I don't pull engines, headgaskets..etc.. but apparently I ticked this guy because "some guy" told him I did after I told him I don't. geez...

This past week wa one if the worst in a long time. Slow.

The end of a real tough week. I thougt it's supposed to get easier as we get older?

Spring is here! Time to get the bike out for a well deserved ride.

Snow, snow and more snow...when will it end....it's killing business and morale....but before you know, we will all be crying we are too busy...well maybe not this year

Finally cooled off here in Florida. Love these 60 degree mornings!

Today, Oct 1, marks 33 years in business. On October 1st, 1980, I was 25 years old, married 2 years and my first son was 3 weeks old! Talk about pressure. No regrets, it's been a wild wide, but fullfilling!

This week is going to be short for me. Helping the wife carry 50 (yes 50) show quilts to a convention at the end of the week. I'm the mule....dah not the quilter, that's the wife. Then when we get back this coming weekend I only have two days at the shop.... then VACATION!!! First time I've taken two whole weeks off, closing the shop (not the office) for those two weeks. Heading to Mexico, golf, ocean fishing, lay on the beach...and uhm...lots of Tequila.

It's the end of a very enjoyable weekend, BBQ with friends yesterday. Back to work in the morning.

Today is my 40th wedding anniversary.

Tuesday 2/05 I'm heading to Florida for the MACS convention. I'll be there until Saturday. If anybody is in the area of Ft. Lauderdale stop and say Howdy. I'm on assignment for ACtion Magazine covering the convention.

We haved no more place to park cars. We are absolutely swamped.
