Hello. Guys and Gals:
I am back from a back surgury and a big move to Long Beach California. I am still siffing through enless boxes of books, SL parts and Ford Mustang parts. Oh did I mention to those who know who I am after 35 years in the auto detailing business I am retaired and looking to start a new life so thats the scoop.
I finally got a house with a three car garage and I am as happy as a clam.

I am still siffing through my old work location trying to close the doors only to fine I collected more than I had intisapated. Were do you put all this stuff comes to mine, seriously its a sicknessI have one hole cabinet of car care products that is five full wide cabinet shelfs and still more to pick up. Seven different polishers, and god knows it looks like I walked out with the mother load of car care products from Beverly Hills to wall mart.

Watch out Joe and Mary next SL fest may end up a car  polishing contest thanks to your old friend Bob Geco.

Well I will leave that said and try and pick up were I left off I hope on a good foot, or was that back
YOUR FRIEND
BOB GECO

Welcome back Bob...

since you are now retired I look forward to your great contributions on car maintenance and care to the Technical Manual. That will certainly keep you busy  ;)

Hi Bob,

I know you were moving, but I didn't know retirement was coming nor did I know about the back surgery.  Between you and your wife you have had more than your share of health challenges in the past few years and our thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.

May you find a well paying job that won't challenge your back!  Keep in touch with all of us.
