August 31, 2012 Sadly it's that time of year again where we have to wave goodbye to the pool fa-noodles and say hello to the glove and mittens. Even though you may get a few more weeks out of your pool, I know many friends that hold a tradition of closing their pool over Labor Day Weekend. Here's 4 tips on how to properly close your pool for the season while you're enjoying our Last Blast Of Summer Weekend brought to you by First Source.

July 19, 2012 Enjoyed a great vacation last week, did you miss me? Certainly enjoyed the great weather here in Central New York. Basically a "Staycation", even though I do not care much for that term. Spent the week camping near West Canada Creek.

May 11, 2012 Ok, gas prices have been going down, then they go up again, and back down. Up or down, the bottom line is, it's still too high. at too high to take the vacation you want, loading up the kids in the family truckster and heading to Wally World. Oh wait, that's the Griswolds back in the late 70's after the gas crisis of '76. Just a few ideas of some things you can do right here in Central New York and you won't have to take out a second mortgage to fill up the gas tank. Here are just a few ideas.
May 1, 2012 Ice Cream! Oh yeah! Even though we’ve seen warmer days in February and March than we have end of April, I can’t say I haven’t gotten a head start on my ice cream intake for this season.
