Well the SEMA/AAPEX show is over for another year. I didn't make it over to the SEMA show because of all the work I had to do. For me it was a non-stop jog through the entire place trying to get to the next interview I needed to do. If you were there and I didn't get a chance to say Hi, sorry about that. I thought I'd have some down time but it turned out I didn't have much time to myself at all. Still in all...it was a great event. I'll do it again next year.

Today was our 6th annual Customer Appreciation Day - We had a few hundred people stop by for burgers and hot dogs, and fun.

The end of this week and most of next week I'll be out of town. Taking the boy to his first year of college in Denver, Colorado. It's a 11 hour drive from our house, and the van is loaded to the max. I wish him well in his new adventures and I'm also looking forward to "empty nesting". Empty nesting has its good and bad points. I know mom and I will miss him dearly, but I'm proud to say he's going to start college.

This news isn't car related, but it was AWESOME never the less. I had a hole in one today. 150yd par 3... and YES I had witnesses. LOL

It's been a good summer for A/C work.

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

Very busy this week, phone did not stop ringing! Now looking forward to celebrating July 4th with family and friends.

Thanks for all the kind words and prayers. And, yes as things to do... all shall pass...even a large kidney stone. For those who are wondering and want the TMI side of the story. The stone is too big to slide through a standard drinking straw without being forced through. Yea...tell me about it. It friggin hurt like you wouldn't believe. Well, it's back to recovery, video work, writing, general shop duties, and everything else. In two weeks I visit "the" doctor

Just got back from Kansas City, presented the Eagles Course for Elite-met so many great people. Great time and very rewarding.

Just got back from a week in Florida shooting video spots for AVI. Glad to be home again.

I'm off to Florida for the rest of the week to shoot some automotive training videos. Even though I've done several other videos for different companies, this time... I'm writing the scripts as well as being in front of the camera. If all goes well they have 18 more to do. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.

This weekend my youngest...and yes... the last one still in the house is graduating high school. It's a big day for him as well as the wife and I. In a few months he's off to the University of Denver to study computer science. First time to be an empty nester... I think I'm going to like it. LOL Congratulations are in order for my son Mitchell! ! (super smart kid btw)

I will be in Kansas City all next week presenting the Fly with the Eagles course for Elite. Always an amazing event.

Excited to join AutoShopOwner!

Today, April Fools Day, is the day I opened my shop 33 years ago. I'm still foolin' them...they think I'm a mechanic or something. ROFL

Just an introduction. Mechanic turned owner, started my shop in May 2007. Rural area, two full time techs and I write service. Not looking for anything in particular just like to read and learn and hopefully be able to help someone else along the way.

Snowed AGAIN yesterday and today. Did not shovel, did not plow the lot for the customer, just watched the snow come down. Stick a fork in me....I am done.

More cold and snow today - Is this what the Ice Age felt like?

OK, I guess we had it coming. Yesterday 70's, today 15 degrees, 4 inches of snow and schools are closed. Looks like I'm stuck at the house.
