AAPEX & SEMA shows

Well, I had told Dick Cole that I would blog from SEMA each day until I found out that the connection was $5.95 for 2 hours or $14.95 a day. Laptop stayed in it's case. Arrived Monday 11/2. If anyone knows how the strip works, there are 4 blocks to the strip but each block might be 3-4 miles long. You just cannot see that far. Walking from Treasure Island to Ceasers took close to 40 mins. The TIA reception was packed with all types of Tire dealers. Meet some new contacts. Tuesday morning started seminars at AAPEX and Sema. AAPEX this as in years pass was about new technolgey and mechincal repair stuff. SEMA spent a great effort on business seminars. Rushing back and forth was a challange. AAPEX had a good hour on upcoming oils for next group of cars. How about a 40K oil change coming soon. AAPEX & SEMA were smaller this year with a shortage of Major players missing. Booths were smaller. If you have never been to either show, start going in 2010. Just for the learning of new stuff is great.
Tomorrow I'll talk more about the seminars.
Thanks
Stan Morin
