Awesome parts and repair at C/T

Waiting for snow is a favorite pass time of mine and then looking at the forecast that shows lots of snow but then again three days later there will be three warm days. One of the most favorite things to do is sliding downhill with the kids. It's  so much fun. After a while I was able to get our 2001 ski-doo MXZX running. Our little boy asked if we could tow his 12 volt Polaris four wheeler behind the ski-doo. It worked perfect towing it because the gears on the four wheeler would not allow the four wheeler to slide into the back of the ski-doo.

Later on that day the ski-doo started acting up. It sounded like the fuel filter in the gas tank was clogged and sure enough after I looked  at it, it was. Luckily we live only five minutes away from C/T grass, dirt and snow service and parts store and with luck they're open 7 days a week. Altogether our ski-doo was only broke down for 45 minutes. This store is amazing! Very helpful people and if there's a way to fix things at a more reasonable cost they would offer it to you as an option. How great is that. For all your parts and repair of anything from snow blowers to the snowmobile not to mention lawn mower C/T in Hastings New York are your guys.   You can find them also online at www.ctgrassdirtsnow.com

Home alone

Post contributed by Leonard Phelps



I am so excited about my husbands new job! It is a huge promotion and is really going to change things for us. With the increased salary, we have decided that I am going to be able to quit my job and stay home with the kids. This is something I have always wanted to do! My mom was a stay-at-home mom and I always pictured myself doing the same. I remember how good it felt to have a mom that could come on field trips with my class and was always home when I got off the school bus. The only bad part about his new position is that he will have to travel a lot. This is a small sacrifice for our family. Especially since he loves this new position and will be so much happier with his job. When I realized I would be home alone with the kids more nights than he will be home with us, I decided we needed Texas home security . This will help me to be at ease when my husband is out of town. It will give me peace of mind to feel safe in my home at night.

Energy saving bulbs

A few years back I switched  out all the light bulbs in the house for at the time the severe energy saving bulbs. Each of my old bulbs were sixty watts of power draw to create sixty watts with the energy bulb. They only drew fifteen watts. That was so great then. Now they have led high energy saving bulbs that only take two watts to create the old style sixty watt bulb. Once the price go down a little bit more I'll be switching all these.

Tamiya models

Some years its hard to figure out what our little guy may want for his birthday. At least at this age in life he still having a lot of fun putting together tamiya models with me. The fun doesn't just stop at building the models, we had to build special display cases so they can last a lifetime. The top of the display case has like a pyramid stack of his favorite three cars. The one that's been on the top for a year now is an AC cobra  painted the original blue and white colors.

DPL Nuve

Finally something that might work at home for my shoulder pain. I've been to a lot of different doctors with so many different diagnoses. I'm sick of it. It's called the dpl nuve. It had fifty six infrared lights and four red Led lights that supposed to penetrate deep into the skin to activate endorphines and block pain transmitting chemicals to provide drug free relief. It also is supposed to increase blood circulations to help repair tissue. We shall see how long or if it works.

Business grants

It's a really big dream for some people and the odds of you making it in business after your first year is very slim. Keeping busy with the business and always looking for new ways to find your niche' in the market is an ongoing affair. I can remember way back when I created my first business how tough it was. Luckily I had someone to learn from and he had almost all the answers. That was my Dad.

After years in business I wanted to take a different path so I sold the one business to start another. But even with all the profits of the one I still had to look for business grants to help me make it trhough the beginning before I established all the revenue of all the products. So many years have gone by, so many rules and regulations had changed in marketing not to mention taxes.

I had many questions that needed to be answered. Something like this I used to discuss with my dad but he is no longer with us. I ran into a site that helped me immensely and still with some ongoing things I always looked to them to helped me out at http://www.businessgrants.org/ some of the people I've run into are so knowledgeable and intriguing conversations may last for hours.

Saving energy

So far this year I've saved quite a bit of money with our mild winter we are using a lot less on our energy to heat our house. One smart move was disconnecting the furnish. Going with the small space heating and also installing a wood stove. The only thing with the wood stove is to make sure we clean it on our regular basis and I'm not just talking about the wood stove, you have to make sure that the chimney is clear of any highly flammable creosote build up.
