I'm Back

I got home from Vegas Saturday evening. I flew in and out of Birmingham, so I could fly on Southwest airline. It was ½ the price of anything I found in Atlanta. This was my first flight on Southwest. They still treat you like a customer.

The first afternoon in Vegas was full of meetings with manufactures and venders. The show started on Thursday. Most of the manufactures were pulling back this year but Wash World, one of the companies I rep for, had 3 new wash machines including the motorcycle wash and stole the show.

The local Harley dealer heard about the wash and paid $230 to get in and see it. He likes it so much he brought 3 other dealers back. I will post a video when I get it. We did not have the crowds we have had in the past, but the people who came were serious buyers. We will see.
One of our venders took me out to dinner at the 4 Seasons hotel. People who can afford that place live in another world. It was beautiful.
Talk to you all soon.

to know that a few good men are keeping the wheels of commerce turning. No government program will ever replace hard work and face-to-face with the customer.
Unless we decide to keep moving away from capitalism. Glad the trip went well...
