Notes from the Road!

I just want to get in the car and come see you!

Ok! I’ll have to admit that I am getting antsy spending all this time here in my office. It must be an “Old Road Warrior” Thing. I just want to come see all of my dealers in person.

I’ve spent the last month or so chained to the office and computer researching and phoning getting ready for my new review of product lines and companies. The “New Review” will happen shortly after the New Year.

Of course I will be using some new things to get the word out quickly about my new products and companies. New Website,Blogs,YouTube videos, Fuze meeting,Skype and more.

I hope that I will be able to share ideas with you the equipment dealers in PA,NJ,MD,Del,VA and WV
that will help you keep up with the ever changing business environment. I plan on sharing a tips that will help you in your business on my Blogs, e newsletter an website. I know you don’t have time to spend on the research that it takes to keep up with the technology, but it is very important to your bottom line. Hopefully I’ll be able to give you some simple things that will help you in your business.

Here’s the tip of the day!

It comes from an online webinar that I’ve just listen to. “ You have go to fish where the fish are.” Google now has 63% of market share in the search engine business. Your customers are using google to research your products and your dealerships to make their buying decisions. This should tell you that the web is becoming more and more important to your business. You need to know something about your biggest potential salesman and you need too spend a little time cultivating this very important resource.

I would like to play a part in your education and hopefully I will be able to give you some tips to help.

more later..

First Day of Deer Season In PA

For the most part this should be considered a National Holiday here in PA. Most all of the dealers and even schools are closed or operating on a skeleton crew for the next few days. It's always this way so I've decided to stay in the office and go hunting for new products. The hunt is going well and I hope to show you pictures from my hunting trip soon.  Dave

Another show is in the books. This year we featured products from all off our companies.
AerWay had a 20'CCT unit Haybuster we showed a full product line including the DuraTech
3010 grinder. Landpride we had about 30 pieces. And AgCam captured it all on the monitor in the tent.

The mood was surprisingly up beat and there was very little negative comments from the show attendee's.
Everyone seems to be of the opinion that the down turn is temporary and they are just waiting to get on
with business once the market corrects it's self.

Clean up is almost done. Thanks to Dotterer Equipment, Hines Equipment and McGarvey Equipment for all
their help. I would also like to thanks Dan Base and Tom and Breanna Clark for all their efforts.

Back on the road tomorrow.

I thought this was a pretty good Quote!

I wanted to share it with all of you.

bathing - that's why we recommend it daily. -Zig Ziglar

Happy New Year! We wish all of you a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Cold Cold Cold!

Cold Cold Cold! 2 degrees here in Wadsworth ,Oh this morning. The wind
chill brings it to 19 below. Finished up a great weekend visiting Theda's family in
Ohio. We had a great time and got to visit with everyone. We also had a chance to Skype with Jessie and Barb and
introduce them to Matthew. That was the first time they had a chance to meet each other. On the road today making the
trip back home.

Wisdom of the Ages

Great little book that was given to me at the DynaTech annual banquet. Highly recommended as a thought provoking little book that generates the main idea of considering how all of the people and encounters with the
people you meet everyday affect your world. There is always something to be
gained from considering the others point of view. The Wisdom of the Ages is
finally revealed by a little nine year old girl. Thanks Lyndon

This is the employee picture of the 2008/2009 DynaTech team. Delivering Power & Confidence... This week helping in the efforts to power the northeast after the weekend storm left thousands without power.

Jess & Addy

The latest screen shot of me and Addy talking on Skype. You can tell she loves her Grandpa. Oh! I guess you can also tell I like it too.

Daily Diaries have changed!

I remember staying with my grandparents in the summer time. Almost every year we would get out old daily diaries from their parents or my great great grand parents. The first line was always the weather report. "temperature in the mid 50's light rain in the morning. Worked in the northeast pasture mending fences" That was about it but today I
remember that they always wrote down the big thing for the day. Today we blog which
is about the same thing but with many other features added, but the weather is still
what we think about first as we start our day.

Jessie and Addy

Following the last post. Addy at age 2 month's has joined the family tradition of Skypeing us on a regular bases. Pretty cool to be able to share the lives of the ones you love with sound and video in real time.

Never to old to learn a new trick!

Dad and Mom enjoying Skype at age 83 & 82 They have been the leaders in the effort to get all friends and family members on Skype. It's great to connect to everyone all over the globe and see them while your talking to them. Dad & Mom talk regularly to Michelle a friend from France. A great way to keep in touch!

Igoogle

Here is one of the best things I've found in 2008. My igoogle page starts up every time I start my computer. I especially enjoy it the first time I open my computer in the morning. The igoogle page is a free service and I have been able to assemble my favorite things to consider each time I log on. It's a mini webpage with inspirational and motivational thought's . There are all kinds of little snippets that you can easily add to your own personal page. You can even listen to the bible and follow along as someone reads the chapters to you with the correct pronunciation of all those names through out 

history. Check it out! Pretty cool.

I forgot the Picture!

My favorite Picture from the banquet

It's always more fun when you get to meet the people you work with, in
a social setting.

Meet the people behind the person you know and you discover a whole
new side of that person. They are all like you and me. We have lives and relationships outside
of work. "They are the reason for the work!" It's always great to work with companies that
recognize this and encourage that part of the work relationship
