My First Open House Video - Whoot! :) - 06/26/10 06:23 PM
 
I just sat an Open House today in Trilogy, a beautiful adult community in Gilbert. The address is 5478 S. Peachwood Dr. Gilbert, AZ 85289. I just got my new iPhone last Thursday and decided that I’d do a video on this listing to see how well it does. I'm not sure why, but I've always avoided making videos but with this new iPhone I'm liking it. The new iPhone 4 records in HD now, but for some reason when I uploaded the video from the phone to YouTube it compressed it…something to work on.
I downloaded the iMovie application … (10 comments)

Four Wheeling in Colorado - 06/18/10 02:44 PM
I have been wanting to post some pictures of our trip over the mountain from Telluride, CO. to Ouray. We had a great day, it was a long and sometimes a nail biting experience. My father bought a Jeep and wanted to see what she could do, my brother-in-law also has a Jeep so we set out on a long trip over the mountain. This was a beautiful trip, I’ll have to make a blog about the other side of the mountain into Ouray, the Switzerland of America. The beginning of the trail from Telluride.

The roads were pretty decent, … (16 comments)

Calling all MUD lovers... Curious aren't you?! :) - 06/18/10 11:42 AM
Saturday June 19, 20108:30am - 2pm Rain or Shine!
Just a little history...everyone loves history!  :)
"Mighty Mud Mania" began in 1976 as the "Shout It Out Decathlon," a promotional gimmick for Johnson's Wax "Shout" Spray pre-wash. The activity was held in Chaparral Park in Scottsdale and the Johnson's Wax Company provided 300 white t-shirts for the participants. Johnson's dropped the program because our Arizona mud was too tough for the pre-wash. However, the City of Scottsdale felt the activity was so successful, that our Parks and Recreation Division incorporated the event into the summer recreation program. Re-named "Mighty Mud … (0 comments)

Great Website to find Cheapest Gas Prices - 06/17/10 01:22 PM
I used to use GasBuddy.com back when gas prices were $4/gal plus to try to find the cheapest gas in my area, my wife saw this and mentioned that we should blog about this.   I’ve also added a page on our website that shows the entire US in real time, which you can narrow down by zooming into your area or typing in city/zip code.  The easiest way to find the page is to bookmark this page US Gas Prices , or type ‘gas’ in the Website Search widget on our sidebar.
