    Oh boy,what a year it has been since I have opened the shop!!
    I had better start off with saying thank you to all of you who have sent me well wishes and prayed for our success!!
    and what a success it has been ! exceeding all of my expectations by a mile and then some.
    my FW Sparklesonthewater joined me full time six months ago,how the heck I got along without her taking care of the phone calls,handling customers, oil changes and brake jobs is beyond me !
    shoot,she is also taking carbs off and apart for me,Sheryl,thank you and bless you for all that you do !!
    I have a lot of things I could post here but seeing as how its hard water season I will wait a while as it will be forgotten by then if I do post it now.

    I will say that I got to work for a couple of members here either in sales or repairs and I thank you for that,so far the longest distance sale was over in Utah,thank you Dave !!
    getting parts in a timely manner this year has been a challenge but somehow it worked out in the end.
    I have a couple of outdrives in Michigan getting overhauled and am waiting for their return, I only sent them there as I dont want to invest a huge amount of money into tools for something I may do a couple of times a year and being able to devote the time it takes to overhaul a bravo three isnt there.

    I do have to post a picture of something that came in on the back of a pontoon, I can only say, necessity is the mother of all inventions !! check this out,what to do with grannys crutch when she is done with it.

    Merry Christmas to all of my IDO family !!

    It’s great to hear that you had such a successful first year. I had no doubts that you would. In the service industry anyone with your knowledge and desire to help people will do great. I want to say Thank You again for all the help you have given this mechanical idiot, as well as the others you have helped here at IDO. Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Christmas. Here’s a toast to continued success.

    Congrats Sheldon. Being successful in business is a hard job. Takes lots of blood, sweat, and time. Again congrats. Stay safe and keep the pictures coming.

    Hey Sheldon,
    Congratulations on the milestone. Your business and talents are definitely something needed for this area. I will try and stop in during the next weeks. Probably will be drilling some holes not far from the shop. Merry Christmas to you and your family and Happy 2021. We’ll hope for the best.

    Too bad that you don’t get to fish anymore. Lol Thanks for helping me outfit the new boat. The trolling motor will be an integral part of our every day fishing.
