Best way to repair cast iron

Last week, Jeff Wilbanks purchased some castaloy product to repair his Mack diesel engine.  Jeff really did not have very high expectations for the product but was desperate for a solution. To his surprise, the product worked better than he expected and he was able to save his engine and a fortune!  Jeff, being so excited about his success, posted on the Castaloy forum.  Just like countless others that purchase this product, he feels it is the best way to repair cast iron.  When applying the tips on my Guide to repairing cast iron with Castaloy, it is possible to repair almost any cast iron product. From time to time, a rod of the castaloy product is given for free.   I have just announced a new winner at the forum post!

5 Bedroom house for rent near Millikin University: 312 South Mc Clellan Avenue

Quality Home Locator has been pretty busy over the last 6-12 months.  Last week the company updated its Millikin Area Housing page with a new property located at 312 South Mc Clellan Avenue in Decatur, IL  62522.  Even though this property was just purchased and remodeling has not started, there is a 5 person group already interested in the property.  However, no lease has been signed on the property yet.   I did sign a lease yesterday on 1368 West Wood in Decatur, IL  62522 and that property is now rented for next school year (2013-2014).  There still is a 3 bedroom house near Millikin available at 26 Fairview Place Decatur, IL  62522.

Hardware and software upgrade at Bradshaw Consulting, Inc.

Bradshaw Consulting, Inc. and Hostexa have announced last month that February was chosen for a month of system wide upgrades.  Bradshaw Consulting has been working on an upgrade to its Billing system and Hostexa has performed hardware upgrades on the majority of its machines.  I’m very proud of my entire staff as these upgrades were perform with little to no interruption in services.  It seems the biggest issue affecting the customers related to passwords.  Security measures on the machines were enhanced and this left some user accounts unable to login until a password reset was performed.

2012 Yearly Pumpkin Carving

I just now realized I never published this blog and it has been sitting in my draft section since October.  Every year Carmen’s family does a Pumpkin carving and last year we did the 2011 pumpkin carving at our house.  However, his year it was done at Eric’s house.  I look forward to doing this every year.  It is nice to be part of a family tradition.  It ended up being dark once all the pumpkins were carved so we took the picture inside.
