I know how you feel. We had another 9 inches. But what really sucks is , if you drive 15 miles south, there was only rain!

Like when the last snow hit here. We were in a blinding blizzard and my daughter 5 hours aways was sitting on her porch in 73 degree weather.

I hope this is the last of the snow. It has really took a toll on my business. Numbers were really down for Jan & Feb. And March is starting out slow also.

Joe I feel for you. Our January was not good but nothing like what you ahev experienced. WE have had no bad weather until the last two weeks.

I am a person of faith. When you look at the "big" picture, this is nothing more than a blip on the radar screen. It will be tough, I can't deny that. But, we will be stronger in the end.

I was going through my tool box straighten up the drawers you know, cause there wasn't much else to do last week. Good thing though, at least I know where all my stuff is just in case a car actually shows up. LOL

Goal? Got up today, what more do you want, right?

The wife asked me, "what ya doing today?" I reply, "nothin" she then says, "that's what you were doin' yesterday." I answer, "I wasn't done yet."

Gonzo, you are my role model! Priceless stuff!

Grandpa Joe... has a ring to it don't it? LOL

Congrats Joe! Spoil the heck out of him.

shoot so will I, I didnt know there was a class.

Joe, not this time but maybe next time. Try to come to St. Louis, Nashville, Indianapolis, or Cincinnati.

Ok Frank, I will keep that in mind.

Congrats, and if it's anything like at my house when I start a conversation with, "Back when I started..." Everyone clears the room. They've heard it all before.

Inspiring to hear other success stories! Thanks for all the advice Joe and happy anniversary. Congrats!

Congrats Joe. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I couldn't tell you. Still looking at mountains of snow

Its a wonderful 34 here today with 6in of snow, but tuesday is supposed to be -22.

The snow is melting here.

I dont have a waiting room full but the lot is. I dont envy your guys bad weather that makes it tough.

We have great weather and no cars in our lot, and a pile of bills to be paid. Sorry to be the bummer, but not feelin the joy over in CA!

Thats not good. I usually expect a yearly increase in sales but the last 3 have been almost a mirror image of each other. I guessI should be greatful. I hope it all works out for you.

Same here. Tough Winter, great summer!

We did more AC work in June than any other Car-x out of 140 stores.

I've been running into a bunch of failed PCM's and BCM's. Looks like there are still a lot of uneducated repair clowns out there who slap voltage on a wire when the A/C doesn't work.

I would made you the Guest Speaker for the event!

no speeches until the hamburgers and hotdogs are served.

Deal!

Bring a six pack or two!

so... that takes of me... what should I bring you?

Very funny!

No snow here, but dang cold. Biz is slow, and I'm waiting for the break in the weather. Could be a great turn around from all this winter weather.

Weather here is GREAT..just no biz. We generally see all the snowbirds this time of year. Maybe its just to cold to drive to Florida!

I'm with you Joe! This snow is really backing up work, killing production and new business is not flowing in as much! I hate this snow, worst winter in NY in a long time.

The only thing I have found easier is combing my hair...aint as much of it as used to be!

LOL, yes the hair, and buying beer. They don't card the old guy. LOL

Too funny guys...true, but funny!

wish i could have been there, maybe back in sd someday

That would be great! Many do come back again and again.

Glad you had a great time in Kansas City. Wish I could have made the trip up... but, alas, too many responsibilities at the time.

I thought the snowpocolyse was really going to kick my butt this year. Luckily it landed on a weekend and had minimal impact on sales!

You guys got hit worse than we did upstate.

fortunately its been melting steadily

It's time to schedule the next training conference in Aruba!

Agree!

I'll make a note of it.

my kind of vacation...LOL

Joe, glad you are having a good time. There are no bad restaraunts in CA at least that I have ever been to.

Sounds like it's going to be a big one. You can always come down here... LOL

Can't get out, they closed the roads!

Congrats Joe!

Congrats!

Glad ya got it... I don't want that stuff.

Thanks!

Feb was my best month in business. Had a bunch of big projects. Hoping the momentum continues.

me too!

Tell me about it. No snow but tons of ice and so so cold. Oddly enough business has picked up in the month of February. This is uncanny.

Snow? what snow? It was 65 today and I was playing golf. I used the snow shovel once this year. I needed a big dust pan to clean the corner of the garage. LOL

That's awesome, my week was pretty busy too!... not the whole month but definitely last week. May the 4th B with U!!!!

Sounds like a great way to spend the day. We went out for lunch and came home to work on my sons car. He had his first little scrap. Backed into a pole and crushed the plastic bumper. Showed the boy how to pull the dent out with a hair dryer. LOL Bonding time with my son. Best way to spend Dad's day for sure.

Sounds like a perfect day in my book!

Congrats Joe

You'll make an awesome Grandpa.
