Well, it no suprise the economy is slow. I noticed sales slowing a year before the bottom fell out. We've been trying to hang in there and it's been tough. With the phone not ringing, I think we are going to have to shut down one day a week, either Mondays or Fridays. I don't like it, but what can you do. Some Mondays the phone has literally only rang 3 times. 

Oh, by the way all. Keep in mind we also service and maintain customers trucks. Ball joints, ujoints, steering, you name it, if you truck has a problem we can solve it. Somehow I constantly hear " I didn't know you serviced the trucks too."

A big thanks goes out to the Banks and Mortgage companies for destroying the economy.  Hey, I didn't owe the banks anything, why are my tax dollars being used to bail them out?  Where's the bail out for the small business?  The only thing that was accomplished with this bail out is the banks just got bigger. Now they own more and have more money. Bastards. I tell ya, we all need to vote to change the way things are. We need to get rid of both political parties and start voting for an independent that makes sense.

Below is a quote from George Washington's Farewell Address in 1796. We should take heed his words.

"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

Hang in there folks, it can only get better, right?
