Rick Metz Developer: A Firm Foundation Show with Rick and Jackie

How do you like your new car?

Have you looked at new cars lately?  Just one step below self driving most of the new models have driving and safety accessories that keep the car in the correct lane,  slow down as traffic slows down,  and backup cameras to keep you from backing into things.   Well we bought one and it’s fabulous,  with all these gadgets and gizmos,  plus more than 44 mpg.

This Saturday on A Firm Foundation for Life we are at the shop of Sylvania Auto Restyling and Glass,  just off the Central Ave. strip to talk about all this technology,  plus leather interiors,  sunroofs,  heated seats,  glass replacement and all the other after market options that can be added if the car you purchase doesn’t have these options factory installed.   We will be joined in the shop with Les and Mike Breininger,  owners of Sylvania Auto Restyling & Glass to enlighten us on this work.

The program starts at 9:00 am. on Saturday can be heard again Sundays at 7:00 am.  on 1370 WSPD,  streamed live @ wspd.com remotely on your I-phone with the I-Heart radio media app.  Many of these car options we discuss can be viewed on our Facebook Live @ “A Firm Foundation for Life”.

Rick and Jackie toured the Genacross Lutheran Services orphanage museum Wednesday in preparation for Saturday’s broadcast,  archivist Bob Haar showed Rick and Jackie one of the class rooms from the ’60’s.   This was almost an exact duplication of the classrooms Rick and Jackie  experienced in grade school.   Notice the picture in the upper left corner of the first President of the United States.   We don’t hear much about him in today’s world?

Hey get a load of this!

You have heard recent news about steel and aluminum and tariffs and how important these industries are to the security of our country!   No one ever talks about cement,  the main ingredient in concrete,  the building block of our country.  Very little cement is manufactured in our country anymore,  most of it is imported,  in this area from Canada,  some from Mexico,  and some from very far away.  Where is all the cement going to come from if we re-build the Nation’s infrastructure?

This Saturday at 9:00 am. and Sunday at 7:00 am.  N. W. Ohio’s most trusted hosts welcome back to the program,  Jordan Schmeltz,  one of the principles in Palmer Brothers Concrete,  with plants in Bowling Green,  Fremont,  Tiffin, and Napoleon.   Jordan has grown up in the business and brings wealth of knowledge to this important subject you need to hear about!

A Firm Foundation for Life is heard locally on 1370 WSPD,  can be streamed on the internet at:  <wspd.com>  remotely on your I-Phone with the I-Heart radio media app.  or you can watch the interview on Facebook Live @   “A Firm Foundation for Life”

40th Anniversary of the Blizzard of ’78

Where were you 40 years ago?    We haven’t seen anything like it since then,  and we haven’t had any extended period of brutal winter weather after the blizzard anniversary of January 26.

This Saturday night the biggest social event of the year,   the Chamber Annual Meeting at the Grand Ballroom.  On Saturday morning Rick and Jackie will visit with Earlene Kilpatrick,  the director of the Bowling Green Chamber.   Earlene has taken the Bowling Green Chamber to the next level with a major Civic event almost every month and smaller member events nearly every week.   The Chamber is one of those civic organizations that defines the Bowling Green community.

Rick is in constant demand to fix things in the home.  This picture is a skylight window that is leaking.  After months of calking and patching,  the window is now tarpped so we determine if the window itself is leaking or the flashing around the unit is leaking?
