Wow on the weather!!! At lumch it was a spring day and by 3pm it was a full blown winter storm. Gotta love Illinois. Always a weather adventure in the making. Just think how boring it would be to live somewhere that was always the same>>>>>>>>>> Not.
On the bright side we should stay busy at work for a while since people have a tendency to forget how to drive when it snows or we have a little ice. It seems to affect their memory cells or something and its all new to them gain. That is what keeps all car related business going.


This month has gone so fast. I cant believe it is almost February. That means Superbowl and then Daytona 500 and then Miami. It is a good month coming up. I am all set with my Nascar fantasy league. I hope I do better than last year.I couldn't pick a winner at all. It looks like the same group of people so at least I don't have much competition. Just the Napa boys.

Miami will be so much fun as well as a great learning experience. I am going to the A-Coat meetings and will be be meeting people from other shops around the country. It should be interesting to see and hear about the way they do things. Who would have ever thought I would like this car business so much that I would want to learn more about it. I guess I was excited about retail when I first got into it. But being a retail manager eventually felt like babysitting a bunch of adults and putting up with overbearing returners!!! Rude people all the time. I like it now that I am the one who can simplify the problem and at least lead them thru the process. When you have an accident the last thing you need is more stress. well I am rambling so I am done now/l
