Luckily I have wi-fi, and can get online from the garage. If given a choice, that is where I am. Between MLS searches, arranging marketing, and pre-viewing homes, I will try to get in a little welder time, or at least clean some of the tools from the last wrenching session.

Mike Mueller has been harping on me about this for months.  In a good way.  Mike is a smart guy, and I hope that all of the mentions of his name yesterday bring him traffic.  But, I have decided that my FaceBook Fan Pages need a serious overhaul.  (And I hate the name of the Fan Pages as much as ...

That really is the key, isn't it? We got back last night from #rebcclt (RE Bar Camp, Charlotte).  It was a great event.  From Thursday evening's social/networking/bull riding all of the way through the sessions on Friday, it went great.  We weren't able to stick around for the Friday night networ...

Here is the way things are scheduled to go down... The UAW would own 55% of Chrysler Fiat would own 35% The US government and secured creditors would split the remaining 10% Honestly, I don't like any of it... but the one that is the Fiat stake.  At least they would have only be interested in mak...
