Conspiracy Theory

I am convinced that the auto manufacturers have partnered with the state governments for profit.
Problem: Competition and increased quality have resulted in a major dilemma: Automobile dealers do not make enough money to survive, either because people are buying other makes or because cars do not break down often enough.
Solution: The automotive industry partners with state governments to ensure billions of dollars of income to keep the dealerships running.
How? State inspections now require that ALL indicator lights, often called idiot lights, must not be illuminated in order to pass state inspections. Conveniently, only major dealers have the technology required to diagnose such potential problems. The dealers then provide several hundred dollar solutions to simple problems costing them pennies to fix in order for you to pass state inspections. Failure to comply results in citations.
With this method the dealers are able to generate huge profits for menial repairs thus insuring their survival.
It is all a crock of shit - and a scam devised by our government to assist dealers.
Do not be deceived - we are all victims of this complex and sophisticated ploy.
I plan to purchase a 1969 Chevy pickup upon which I can personally perform any necessary repairs, and because there is no on board computer, I can tell the dealers and our government to go f**k themselves.
If you choose to ignore this then you have been deceived and I pity you.

Farewell to another friend

Timothy Mishalanie and I became best of friends in the past year.

He lived with another good friend Dave Guertin and was in fact the one who found Dave dead at the lakehouse this past August.

Timmy was found dead at the same lakehouse this week and all ask the same question, what is the curse on this place?

God rest Timmy's soul and his mercy be abundant to a man who lit up the room when he walked in and always left you smiling.

Tim - thanks for the memories my friend.

Remembering a Friend

Dave Guertin was a trusted friend, business partner, music partner and toward the end a pain in my ass but I will always love him.

We met in a job interview – I was fresh out of college and he was a laborer turned designer. He looked at my hobbies and interests and saw playing music – the rest was history.

I was tasked by God with drawing Dave out of his shell. I showed him a few guitar tricks and he soon was writing, playing and singing in front of crowds.

It was Dave that brought me to know Jesus as I do – because of him I am saved and I will always be thankful.

He also taught me many things like business, friendship, generosity, sacrifice, loyalty and love.

I hope to see many of you Friday evening as we honor Dave Guertin – and no matter what has transpired, Dave was a uniquely gifted man with a priceless perspective on everything.

I will miss him dearly and I pray God rest his soul.

Gary's Music

www.garysmusicstore.com

This guy is a dickhead – I highly recommend you avoid his store at all cost even if you have to drive to Oneida or New Hartford.

Anyone wanting details as to why I know this to be a fact, email me and I will show you.

If you know me well enough to know I don’t bullshit, then take my word for it – he sucks and so does his merchandise.

Rock on Big Apple Music!!
