Greetings!

     So I have been listening to the radio news and talk shows cover the "Occupy Wall Street" Movement, all about "Unfair Wealth Distribution" and class warfare. It borders on Mob Rule.  Hearing about it is aggravating enough, makes me even happier that I don't have  a television set or I would be throwing things at it. The OWS message comes across clearly. The protestors want what some other people have and they don't much care how they get it. They demand jobs, they call for free college tuition, they cry out for benefits, money and they want it now, handed to them on a platter. By God, they are entitled to it to hear them tell it! It is the Wall Street S.O. B.s who did this. Just take it from those Fat Cat Millionaires, so easy and so righteous. Well, not where I come from. 

Many kids getting out of college are having a hard time getting work. Did they think that diploma came with an employment guarantee? No, more likely, debt! Those grads may be book smart but that does not always count for much in the real world. My wife and I were talking about that and decided it is about choices, you get your degree in something like Interpretive Dancing or Renaissance Studies, you have limited your opportunities. What are good fields? Landscaping comes to mind. Hard work? Yup. Will you make a fortune? Maybe, probably not, but there is a living to be made. The thing is every year grass grows, leaves come down, snow falls and someone takes care of it. It may not be very glamorous and neither is plumbing or emptying bed pans, but someone is getting paid to do it. Stuff is always breaking, people get sick.  Good mechanics are worth their weight in gold, so are sales people (SALES people, I said, not order takers). You are an attorney? Look out for Legal Zoom!  

This is still the United States of America, if you don't like the way wealth is distributed go out and earn more. 

            There are three inalienable truths in this mortal coil:  Life is NOT fair; the world does NOT owe you a living; and you make your own luck.

The Secret to Engine Success Subaru Engine Photo

             

       Quality equipment can save a contractor both time and money, as it will reduce dollars spent on repairs, and the money lost due to lower productivity and machine rental costs - not to mention the time spent on coordinating repairs, obtaining replacement equipment and shifting jobs as a result of broken machines. Ultimately, a quality piece of equipment will lead to better performance and a happy, repeat customer.But how does one determine quality? A critical component of overall equipment performance is the engine. Because the engine plays an important role in the life of equipment, the right combination of engine and equipment is critical. Be sure to consider the following top five appropriate criteria when evaluating an engine.

Leaf Blowers and Snow Throwers Are Here at Gamka!

Don't rake fallen leaves when you can blow them away. You have better things to do with your time, right? When the leaves are done the next thing you know it will be snow coming down. Don't look surprised! It isn't like this is a first time, it happens every year, much as we might wish to forget it. In case you deleted it from your memory banks, Gamka did not. Husqvarna Leaf Blowers and Snow Throwers are in stock, while the supply lasts. When they are gone, they are gone until next year so for the best selection, shop early. Ask for a full catalog and pricing. Come to our showroom and give a look. Gamka does repairs too so if your present equipment is not running this is the time to arrange to fix it. We are a full service Husqvarna distributor.  

Gamka's doors are open  Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. If you are too busy to stop by, we deliver on our own trucks.
