In my post yesterday about ICF Blocks, I mentioned that I had the opportunity to visit over at the African Inland Mission in Minneola, Fl. For those who may not know, the African Inland Mission is an area of about 23 acres where alot of retired missionaries live. They have been building a huge facility over there and I was introduced to the contractor a week or so ago and he invited me to take a tour of the new complex.     This new building is approximately 17,000 sq. ft. and it is the home of the dining hall, library, kitchen, offices and a few apartments.     The picture above of the dining hall isn't that great of a picture...I apologize. With all of the windows in this room, there was a glare everywhere I turned. You can't really tell from this picture, but this dining hall is beau... 09/24/2009

In a previous blog entry, I told you a little bit about a great 501c3 Non Profit Faith Based Organization called New Beginnings. Some good things have happened for New Beginnings since that last entry. One major thing was the acquisition of the old Mulberry Inn in Clermont. The Mulberry Inn is being remodeled and will be a home for women with small children.   The reason for this new blog entry is because New Beginning's will be holding a "Fill The Truck" event at 2econd Life Resale, September 12th from 9:00AM -2:00PM. They will be collecting bags of food to "stock their pantry" to give to the needy. Help "Fill The Truck" and you will receive 20% off of all of your purchases at 2econd Life Resale that day.   I know we are in a National Recession and it is hard to put food on your own ta... 09/09/2009

Recently, I was having some car troubles. Driving through neighborhoods, my car would just start stalling for no apparent reason. I called a few mechanics to get their opinions on the problem. Of course, they would do a diagnostic test to see what the problem was. One problem though, all of them were going to charge me for the test, even if they couldn't find the problem.  Finally, I stumbled across Eric Caporale of Caporale Automotive in Minneola, Florida. Eric told me to bring my car in and he would run the diagnostic test for me and if he found the problem and I let him do the work, he would waive the diagnostic fee. That sounded like a pretty fair deal, so I let Eric do his test. Later that day, he called me back and basically told me that the problem was 1 or 2 sensors. I was waiti... 08/05/2009
