Vroooooooommmmmmm

Excalibur Electronics designed a neat new toy, the Motorized Pool Lounger. 

I know this toy was designed for use in a pool, however the more adventurous side of me wonders how it would fare in our waves here in surf city?  So lets say you go ahead and install a seat belt, replace the fans with some sort of James Bond type rocket gadget and head out into the deep blue with the surfers, what's the worst that could happen?  Capsize?  I don't know the wild ride sounds like a lot of fun, but then I always enjoyed a wild ride.  The motors might not like the salt water, but oh what a memory you would have. 

Hey if Tom Hanks had this in Castaway, or if Gilligan and the crew had one of these they may not have been gone so long.

Wind or Hot Air?

OK, we would all like to conserve energy, but at what cost?  Does a gadget that pays for itself after 16.67 years of use fit the bill in an area where most folks trade up every 5 years or so?  Invented by Southwest Power this nifty toy will provide you with about 80% of your household energy but will cost you about $10,000, including installation.  It will however save you about $600 per year on your annual utility costs.

Loving Your Home Loan

Loving Your Home Loan

Here's the final lesson for how to get a home loan you love.  We started off in lesson one by compiling a neat credit and income package in a pdf format.  In lesson two, we talked about how to get some names of pretty good loan originators for you to interview.  In the third lesson, I instructed you about the seven questions to ask in the phone interview.

You should be down to 2-3 people with whom you are comfortable.  You probably have a favorite at this point but you need to see who is going to give you a fair loan.  Notice that I didn't say the cheapest at this point; I said a fair deal.  Shopping for the "cheapest" loan can be counterproductive.  We're going to drop that bunker buster on the select 2-3 originators but we're going to , as Tony Soprano might say,
