Wow, vacation was nice.  I spent Saturday with my son at a local snow tube place. We rode up the hill and once at the top had a choice of which ‘run’ we could go down. It was fast and furious and fun. We laughed and banged ourselves up quite a bit, what a great time. It’s times like those that I’m reminded of what life is all about, we laugh together, cry together, and play together. A family, in all it’s mess, there it is. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

When I got done playing, I decided it was time to do some work (I guess I was ready to hit it again). I finished integrating the secure ordering page to my website, so now people can purchase car care club cards, and vip memberships right on-line at our website www.pro-autocare.com. I’ve never had to set up a merchant website before but it turned out to be a fun challenge. I even wrote some javascript code to make the page work correctly. It’s amazing to me the tools that are available out there now, totally free. A few quick google searches, and I was able to find code fragments that I needed to do what I wanted to do.

My assistant, Amanda, quit while I was on vacation. She was with me less than 2 weeks, so the search is on for a replacement. She said she thought she could juggle the time away from her baby, her husband and work too, but found out that it wasn’t going to work for her. I’m glad she let me know before I spent too much more time training her. It’s best I find someone that wants to work full time and is in a position to handle that. It’s disappointing to go through the whole process of finding someone, only to have to do it over again, but hey, that’s life in business.

Well, I’ve got to get ready for work now, I’m looking forward to another great week and some more challenges to overcome.

Talk with you all again soon,
