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

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

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.

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

I've been contracted by AVI (Automotive Video Inc,) To do a series of videos, which will involve several trips to Florida. The last couple of weeks I've been writing the scripts and doing the editing. So, there maybe a few rerun articles for awhile. This is has been keeping me busy away from my usual writing schedule.

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.

Playing catch up with articles and assignments. Running a bit late getting the next one out. Starting to have to many pans in the fire. Kind of a good problem to have.

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.

Trying to upload this weekends story, but the internet upload speed is off today. Going to try later to load it. You can go to my website www.gonzostoolbox.com it's up there at least.

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.

this Florida weather is awesome!!!

Heading to Florida, I'll be in the Orlando area at the Caribe Royale hotel attending the MACS convention. Gotta learn some new smart stuff.

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