Becoming Mechanic Services
Lights going on in our brain is a good thing, however when they go off on your dashboard it isn’t so good, most of the time they are indicators of something really simple like a misaligned gas cap or leaky gasket. There a difference between flashing lights and steady lights and often times these indicate the severity of the issue so don’t ignore the lights. The good news is that you can easily have the issue checked without costly computer diagnostics. Antonio has the experience and willingness to help you get your vehicle back in tip top condition. Give us a call today for rates and schedule (432) 371-2694 or (432) 294-0128. Remember “United We Stand - Divided We Fall.”

Why Wait Till It Quits Working
I have to go out all the time and bid on jobs that require being brought up to code. Do to service being reconnected, people trying to sell a house,
People seem to think there electric systems are not that important until some thing quits working.
They go get there vehicles oil changed and keep it maintained
If you have a loose connection in your house it can cause the electric bill to go up. lights just don’t work like they use to.
So many times I have people suddenly have a expensive repair bill that they could have avoided with a little maintenance.
If you have only 4 or 5 breakers running your house you probably need your electric upgraded.
you walk out to the meter and you have several boxes with breakers in them than you probably have some issues that wont pass code.
As a electrician I usually don’t add boxes to your service but will install a larger breaker box to accommodate the needs for the building.

Tuesday Ladies Night

Last Minute Low Budget Productions Next ProjectLMLB’s next project is a readers theater production of “Beyond Glory.” Eight Medal of Honor recipients from WWII to Vietnam tell their stories in their own words. Performances will be the Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon of Veteran’s Day weekend. No memorizing, no acting to speak of, just a couple of rehearsals a week. Veterans (military, not theater!) especially encouraged. Read-throughs this Wednesday and Thursday at 6:30 at the Cinnabar Theater. Please spread the word! Call Scott at 2174 for more info.
Last Minute Low Budget Productions Talent Show
We had such a blast last night! The house was full to overflowing with parents, children, and locals (and everyone admired the new seats). There were seven talent entries, five of them from the school. We had girl dance groups, a juggler, a musical duo with trained dog, a painting, and a magic act, which won first place. Ted Arbogast was the MC, and perfect for the job. He was funny, played the ukulele for incidental music, and held up an “Applause” sign on cue. Between acts he read a long list of the Student Council accomplishments. The Council was the beneficiary of the donations, which added up to $396 at the end of the night, plus the winning act, which was the magic act, donated their $100 prize to the Council as well.
Scott ran the sound equipment and also laid out a spread of snack food, including lots of healthy fruit, which did a disappearing act as well. Phil Crosby, who helped install the seats, was back doing a video and audio recording of the whole thing, some of which will be available on UTube. Zoey Sexton volunteered and sat by the door explaining the voting system, passing out pencils and ballots, and collecting donations.
I think everyone would be happy to see this happen again next year. I know I would.
