Here we are at Julia’s of Savannah (b&b) in Long Beach Island NJ. Spent the morning on the beach’ had lunch at The Holiday Snack Bar (so old fashioned and delish) and we’re now enjoying a snack on the breezy front porch. Love this place. Shell fish here we come to eat you…watch out!
Thanks,

I went to the park at lunch time on my bike to make a business call and turned
around to see the swept exhaust pipes and the chrome. I
took this picture and sent it the the blog using the iPhone, I really
need to get out the good camera taking some nice pictures of it.
My new Jeep, yes a Rubicon with the works! Believe it or not my CX-7 lease has ended and I was offered this Jeep at such a value price it would have cost me nearly the same amount to buy the car at the lease end. Those of you that have known me awhile know I had a Jeep like this in the past, I missed it (as Brandi sure knows with me talking about it from time to time). I’ll have more photos later on.
Thanks,

The right tool for the job
Adding the hardtop to our boat

Back in the summer of 2004 I purchased this Vento Triton R4 Scooter after collecting on an insurance claim (it covered the cost because I repaired the damaged truck myself). After driving this scooter almost every day I could, and when weather permitted, it soon starting getting darker early in the day as the calendar year progressed. Along the year I found many other upgrades during my internet searches for this scooter, so of course I did these upgrades. The searches however fell short in finding a better and brighter headlight so that I could see easier at night. It seems Vento really missed the mark on the brightness of the headlight and nothing could be had anywhere to improve this headlight. I quickly realized that I would have to develop my own plan for this problem, so off I went. I created a very low cost but 30% brighter headlight and tail / brake light kit. The only draw back was I had to purchase parts for this kit in very high quantities. Needless to say I made these high quantity purchases while also thinking I could just sell them over time knowing that I had a few connections on scooter web forums that could be an outlet to sell them. I created the very simple html web page with a Paypal buy now button, to my amazement I could not believe how well they sold. In the first two months I sold all the initial kits, so I ordered another round of kits and to this day we still sell them.
This is how the THOUGHT OUT…Company was initially started.
So today is somewhat a sad day, it is time for the scooter to go, but also a very positive one with all that this little yellow scooter has brought to me.
The listing
2004 Vento Triton R4 Scooter
Remote Start – 55-60 MPH -Alarm System
In Connecticut this scooter technically does not require registration. Even though this scooter was purchased and titled with a 49cc engine, to our surprise during the many upgrades listed below we found this model was built with the quality 100cc Yamaha engine from the factory. Driving as a fair day scooter, it is very clean. Extremely fast +55-60 MPH. Only Amsoil synthetic oil used for oil tank and transmission. mileage 1387. Includes all the non stock upgrades plus a custom cover and a matching full face helmet, unused (with cover) Continue reading →
THOUGHT OUT…Company introduced today the pre release of NAJA King, the first quality portable media device holder. And just like our ever so liked PED3 desktop older, the NAJA King rotates for wide screen viewing on your iPhone and iPod Touch. The 3 foot (2 foot shown) soft flexible cable is slender yet developed for secure form-able positioning. With small coiling abilities it is compact enough for travel and it is a great solution for those long flights.
Coming in the next few weeks models will be available for around $40 for iPhone and iPod Touch. And best yet, like all THOUGHT OUT products it is made in the USA. We are filing a patent today.
59 seconds to go in the half and I am winning… we will see!

OM gosh!!! What an adorable picture. This is Jetta, Scottie’s cousin from New Milford Connecticut. He’s never met her but I know they’d be best dog friends/cousins. Jetta is a gentle spirit and loves attention just like Scottie. Speaking of Jetta, I must get her dog cookies out in the mail . . . I’ve been a bad girl with the delay in sending them. Sorry Jetta :0)
