Salt does a lot of good. Salt makes your food taste better. Salt is essential not only to life, but to good health also. But Salt does and will kill if you let it...  The salt I am talking about is road salt.... And it kills your car. I would think that most everybody in Northern Ohio knows this by now .

Being a car guy in Northern Ohio I see lots of cars dieing a slow and painful death.

There is so much to do in Vegas that you need 2 maybe 3 weeks to see it all....we rode this coaster talk about fast and fun... They have a car show in the Imperial Palace that was awesome and the cars are for sale...I wasn't allowed to buy this one it is not street legal and will not fit on carry on in the plane...(1967 GT 40 race car)...basically Becky said I have to many cars now....She said I can't have it....Maybe next time I will not take her into the Museum and buy it anyway....... 03/04/2009

Well my trip to Vegas was pretty fun.....and I got some pretty good shots of the track.and all the other great thing to do there I was in the middle of turns 3 and 4......the race was great lots of action on the track lots of lead changes and a few wrecks and if your a Jr fan don't sit in turns 3 and 4 it is loaded with Jeff Gordon fans (lots of boos for Jr and crazy cheering for Jeff) This is the fly over before the start of the race you talk about some precision flying these boys can do it... This is Jeff Gordon leading the race before his little missing pit road incident that cost Jimmy to lose the race....The race was great and my seats were awesome  it was a blistering 75 F  there... that's hot for at home it was in the teens and when I landed in Cleveland Ohio Monday I was still w... 03/04/2009

You see I don't want to fly in a 737.....Yeah I know Boeing 737's been around for 40 + years and air travel is among the safest way to travel....but  look at all them controls....that is crazy.... So What is my problem with a 737 you ask?  1st thing I don't know how to fly it... 2nd thing is when I am going in the air I would like to have control over what is putting me 30,000 to 45,000 feet up.....and the 3rd thing is I really don't think that I will get to sit up front with the captain...Its some kind of law... Look at that it is a thing of beauty I would love to get behind the wheel of that monster and put the pedal to the metal... 02/25/2009

Wow today is the day....for race car fans .. today is the grandaddy of racing it is the Daytona 500.. Just about every weekend we go to my dads house to watch Nascar and have a family dinner. Which is pretty cool. My step-mom makes great food and we all have are own favorite drives. There is lots of cheering and yelling and fun...But I wasn't sure we were going to go today because of the news we got Friday. You see my dads dad (my grandfather) has been sick and this past Friday he past away..He was 81 and he lived a very full life up until the last 2 years or so... Well like I said I really wasn't sure what was going to happen. I called my dad yesterday and he said everything is still the same come on over. So that got me thinking...

 A friend of mine is really into the recycling thing.  He tells me that every little bit helps....And that if everyone just recycles a few things they use everyday it would make a large impact on are environment....  I will be the first to admit I do not do enough to help I can do more and should....So with that said I was doing some research about what I could do to help. My first thought was (as I drink my coffee) we get coffee from the chain coffee shops a lot.  And they have Recycle on their cups but guess what their cups are not recyclable.....why because they are coated in plastic....So what to do about that.....Well I started thinking again!!!!..... yes I did. If we all take are own coffee cup in to the chain coffee stores or mini stores that sell coffee to go. We can all have a ... 02/14/2009

   How would you like to have a broker/owner like this every day he e-mails me Daily Motivation like this.... "Do you realize that your life at this very moment is the result of everythingthat you have ever thought, done, believed or felt up until now? You can startright now to consciously and deliberately attract whatever you desire in thislifetime." and ends it with this    "Every day, in every way...your success is my business".    every day he takes the time to e-mail something to his agents it could be something new happening in the field or some kind of class that we can go to or some update from Century 21....My point is Tony cares about all his agents..He told me once that he don't care if an agent sells 1 house a year or 100 a year as long as you give it 100% and do your best..... 02/10/2009

She drives me crazy when there is no snow, let alone snow covered roads...I'm not sure how she got her drivers license, My guess the instructor thought she was cute.;-) So what do I do ....I bring my camera to take some photos of the drive to share with... 01/30/2009
