Talking Guess who's back?

As you can tell by my sig line, I'm back!

And yes, I'm doing Honda parts too

As of today, I'm working for Acura of Peoria, in Peoria AZ......but still living in Buffalo and telecommuting every day. One definite plus for all of my friends is that I'm going to be much more available for email and phone calls than I ever was before.....

Over the next week or so, I'll announce my official 1-800 number for incoming calls, but if you'd like pricing or want to place an order for something in the meantime, or just even general catching up, email me your phone number to the same hondacuraworld@aol.com that you've used for years, and I'll give you a ring

Some things on the website for www.oemacuraparts.com will soon be geared more to what you're used to...... things like the monthly specials that I always ran, etc etc, so some exciting things are in the works. Funny, because just over a week ago, I had no idea that this would come to pass!

So how about a few pics? Here's the dealership that now signs my paychecks......absolutely beautiful facility. Look at those palm trees!

When do we got the new site sponsor?

Any chance you can get the Hondacuraworld.com name?

The sponsorship is in the middle of changing hands now....

As far as the old, well, that's not mine, so I can't say what's done with it. There's going to be a lot of restructuring and gearing up for Honda parts, naturally. This is all in the works. However, as of next week, I'll be able to start processing orders for both Hondas and Acuras

I guess in all this posting I'm just a bit premature, however not by a heck of a lot.

What can I say, I'm excited to be back!

Actually, I never was that heavy.....the cropped pic makes me look tubby

Here's my full pic.....I'm 5'10 and 207. I could probably stand to lose 20 lb, but then again, who couldn't?

Great to have you back Tim!!! Will you continue to telecommute, or is there a chance you may eventually make the move to AZ?

I have to tell you that it was tempting to move out there, but for two reasons.....

1. I heard stories of how it's like being in an oven in the summertime

2. Family. More than any career that I could ever have, my boys need their dad

It isn't fat - unless it's all muscle, your BMI puts you at OBESE! (and in denial )
