There was a vehicle that somehow or another lost it’s brakes and ended up submerged with the driver in Moosehead lake, and I don’t know the specifics of the event, but had the vehicles state inspection been done and done properly, that should not have happened. I have seen mechanics take short cuts, and yes it’s sometimes hard to determine if these tires would last the year or if these brake pads would last a year, even though the state has minimum specs for these items. That is why I feel a bi-annual inspection would alleviate these concerns and questions.

Essay 1
There are many causes for a parts failure to leave people stranded when their vehicle breaks-down. Could be a worn part internally, a mileage issue, collision damage, lack of maintenance, to name some examples. There are a lot of early detection types of inspections that can catch things early before they get to the point that there unsafe. In this essay, I will discuss the ones that I feel are most important.
One form of such inspection is a general ‘multi point’ inspection that is done when you have your oil changed. There are a lot of different names for this type of inspection, but they are all somewhat the same. I should say that it should be done in a professional service center, because there are probably some places (like under the shade tree) that this is overlooked. I feel that there is a moral and ethical obligation for automotive techs and service facilities to enforce and perform such an inspection to not only inform the customers about their vehicles condition, but to relive us as technicians from the liability and consequences of failing to do them.
Another example is a Maine state vehicle inspection that is done on every vehicle registered in the state of Maine once every year. The inspection is done at a state approved inspection facility, and yes there are a lot of strict requirements for a shop to become an inspection station. The state certified vehicle inspector (technician) is required to perform a very thorough safety inspection of every thing on the vehicle. This is done not only to ensure you will get from point A to point B, but to ensure that there is nothing that is worn out, broken, leaking, inoperable, unsafe, or that can cause or contribute to an accident. So upon your vehicle passing the state inspection not only will you have a nice sticker on your windshield, but you can drive with the confidence that your vehicle is indeed fit for the road.
I used to live in Florida, and it was astonishing to see the broken down, and abandoned vehicles that littered the roadways. There are no state wide vehicle inspection standards in Florida like there is in Maine, and there should be. Not only would it be safer to travel, but there would be no junk cars that has pieces of it falling off of it as it somehow is avoiding the car crusher but still is rolling down the road. I have a family and I will do anything to ensure their safety. This is why I strongly believe in these types of inspections.
To go a step beyond the norm, I propose that the state do bi-annual vehicle inspections. I do strongly advise bi-annual vehicle safety inspections to ensure that the roads we travel on are safe for everybody. Not only would this practice heighten the safety of the vehicles traveling on the roadways, but early detection is important rather than driving with ignorance to have a break-down, or heaven forbid an accident.

‘falling in love’ essay was brutally honest, but it got the job done I suppose. Where are the 2 intros? Or is here not supposed to be 2 intros?

My son is a miracle. We are very lucky, and blessed to have him in our lives (along with our three other children). My wife went through a lot during the pregnancy. It got to the point that it was harming her health by the third trimester. I was very worried because she was passing out, and was practically on bed rest at the end of it. During the delivery she had to be induced, and the first thing I saw just before the baby’s head, was the umbilical cord. The cord was around the top of his head, and it was tied in a knot also. The doctor who preformed the delivery was noticeably alarmed by this, and said that if the pregnancy had been put off any longer that it would have been very risky. I thought that the episiotomy was the worst part for me to have witnessed though. So this is why I refer to our children as a blessing to our family (they all have their own tales of birth and survival).

There is something in my yard that I just can’t seem to part with. My 1991 Nissan nx. I’ve had it since 1999. I bought it during my tour of duty in the Army at Ft . Campbell, Ky. That car is a part of me. It’s taken me into Nashville, Tn, and then to Florida where me and my family moved to after the Army. I still remember when my children were quite young they would climb onto my lap from the back seat (now mind you this is not a very spacious interior) to sit on my lap to pretend to steer the car. Very fond memories indeed. That car has taught me to be a better mechanic also. It had an electrical problem that after lots of frustration got fixed and learned a lot too.
That car then took us to Maine where we now live, and it’s no longer road worthy. It’s now a parts car but still the kids play in it and pretend they are driving and such. Still, I can’t part with it. Not yet anyhow…this thing still means something to us.

I’m a Christian, and I’m a father 4-times over, I’m a husband and a U.S. Army veteran too. I’m an ASE Master Certified Auto Technician who loves fixing things. I have a tattoo on my left arm of my nickname (RINO) in my favorite color (blue). My favorite beverages are Moxie, Kool-aid, Sprite and Coffee. Nascar is my favorite sport, and I love the outdoors. I love repelling from helicopters, but have not done it in a while. My favorite city (out of all the places that I have lived and visited) is Nashville, Tennessee. But I mostly enjoy spending quality time with my family and playing with my kids.

The two foot by six foot top of my storage chest at the foot of my bed has on it:
-a pile of bills (paid and unpaid)
-other assorted mail
-a cd (not in a case)
-a baby bag that contains diapers, baby wipes, and a change of clothes
-my son’s pair of shoes size 2 youth
-a baby monitor
-a blanket
-my wife’s socks (clean and folded)
Will he ever get to cleaning that room? His wife has all the mail sorted for him, it seems. It’s nice how the baby bag is pre-packed so that’s ready to go, blanket, shoes and all. This is a very nice cedar chest…it would make the room look so much better if it was emptied off, a coat of furniture polish applied, and her husband put a little box of chocolates on it for her. If he was lucky, he might get a little something extra for the chocolates even!
