Just bought an IDS Ford factory scanner... awesome tool, who else has one?
-
there is a new one coming out but the IDS will still be useable, all the way back to 95... anything older I've got the NGS to cover that. I had to get the reprogramming part and to complete my information on the BCM info. I do more body mods and electrical systems. not near that much in engine or transmission. so I had to spring for it.

Heading to Kansas City at 5 am, going to the Vision Automtive Expo... So I'm posting my usual Saturday story is up now... since I won't be near the computer all day. Don't forget about my Sunday night Chat. Find me on facebook too.

FYI, I've been running a chat on Sunday nights at 7:00 pm till 8:00 CST. It's an informal chat about cars with other pros across the country. I have never brought it to the attention of ASO... but I thought this might be a great way to speak to each other. Join me if you can @ http://www.gonzostoolbox.com/CHAT.html see you there.

With 2 weeks of snow around here I wasn't expecting much to offset the lack of business. How wrong I was... last week was extremely busy. Even though it didn't quite make up for 2 weeks off... it sure was busy.
-
the snow is starting to melt, next week is suppose to be in the 60's so hopefully people havent forgotten where to get their car fixed at... cause it sure has been slow around here... LOL
-
Wow, things are looking up... got a whole 2 days at the shop instead of one... now, snowed in again... another foot of snow and close to 0 degrees outside. this really sucks.
-
first full day at the shop, even though it really gets old dealing with the car problems, I sure do like getting back to the shop and do what I do best even after a week off. I'm going to be a terrible retiree .. gotta be doing something...
-
OK, stuck at the house, 3 foot drifts, 21 inches of packed snow... roads will not be cleared till later this week... going to be a rough one. Probably will not get the shop opened back up till Monday or Tuesday. i've never ever seen it like this... can't make up for all this loss... devastating to say the least
-
We are expecting the worst snow storm in a century here in Oklahoma. If sales hasn't been off from the earlier snow.. this will sure put a hurt in the pocketbook.

I make it a habit, especially on Veterans day... when you pass by a cemetery and you see those american flags... say a prayer... those guys are there because they chose to serve... and paid the ultimate price for our freedom...
