Incredibly hot here. 99 today andc 101 forecast for tomorrow. Shop almost too hot to work after 2:00 p.m.

It is hard to enjoy the Saturday without being able to read what Gonzo has written! At least business was a little better this week.

July was flat for us. We were down about 1 % but August has started strong. Last week I was helping my daughter move. She is now in Acworth, Ga, near Kennesaw north east of Atlanta.

June has been running strong. We will be up between 25-30 percent over last year.

June was our best June ever but the first day of July was a stinker.

Last week was the best week in November that we have ver had.

May is going really strong and I am pleased!

Missed two days with stomach flu! Caught it from one of my guys. Nasty stuff!! Stomach is still uneasy but I am keeping food down.

My Army Ranger Service Manager has been diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer. He has been the heart and soul of our shop and my dear friend. Please pray for him and his family and for me as I deal with all the implications of this development.

My former service manager for eight years, retired army ranger, and good friend who was diagnosed with lung cancer in May, 2013, died this morning. It is a very sad day.

My service manager has been on vacation for a week. I have been running the shop by myself. That is a heavy load. Glad he will be back Saturday.

On vacation with family in Florida on the beach.

Rick, I didn't know you were from so close by. I would be very happy to have you stop in sometime. We are across the road from Sam's Club and Krispy Kreme Donuts if you know where that is. What you also may find interesting is that I am originally from Livingston County, KY. I graduated from UK and I bleed Blue.

Same here Joe. Very busy tough week. Need to hire some better help but can't find any.

Sorry for the bad weather but it missed us by about 75 miles to the west and north. We have more cars in the shop than what I know what to do with.

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

Today is my 40th wedding anniversary.

We are in the midst of the worst drought in my lifetime. No significant rain amounts in the last 90 days. 0.28 inches for the month of October.

We closed a good week with a good Saturday and have a lot on the sechedule for Monday.

We finished May up 12% over last May!

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

Your best source of help will be my service manager. He is top notch. Stop in! We will be happy to help if we can.
