HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Paul Hartley!
Today is Paul's 3 year anniversary with Eagle Transmission and Automotive Friendswood and I couldn't be happier. After having gone through a number of managers and starting to lose hope, Paul came along and has been a God send to the business.
Thank you for all you do Paul including taking outstanding care of our customers. Keep up the great work and I look forward to many more anniversaries!

Picture is Paul dropping everything to save a damsel in distress at no charge! Great job!
Need Tree Trimming Company
I need a tree trimming company to help with the retired school teacher project in Pearland (over by the Pearland Rec Center). This is a charity project so a full donation of the work would be great but, if not possible, a good deal would also be appreciated.
If you know a tree service operator who might be interested in helping out, please let me know.
Thanks and God bless,

For all the car enthusiasts our there who are dying to show their cars off but can't find any shows that haven't been canceled, here's your chance! And, all proceeds go to Klein HS Band so it's for a good cause.
I know it's in Spring but finding an event that is not canceled is like water in the desert...it's worth traveling for!! If you belong to car groups, know car groups or car people, PLEASE pass along and share.
Please share and spread the word so others can get out and share their beautiful rides and so Klein HS can have a great show.

NEED Donated Outdoors Freestanding Swing
The retired teacher in Pearland would really love to have a swing out front to sit in and enjoy the cooler weather. She had hoped her old one out back of her place would be good to use but it is not.
So, if you have a swing you don't use and wouldn't mind donating it to Mary, it would be greatly appreciated! We still have a lot of work to do at her place but it would be nice if we could give her this for now.
Thanks and God bless,

4R100 rebuilt and ready to install. Fits early 2000s model Expeditions and gas F250s and 350’s. Call Paul at (281)992-6699 for details.
UPDATE On the Lane Family
The Lane family who had the tree fall on their vehicles last Saturday is getting a new rear hatch/window assembly soon! The landlord is covering the cost of the part and Eagle Transmission and Automotive Friendswood is going to install it at no charge. So, they will have their minivan back soon and hopefully not have any more challenges!
By the way, they got electricity back Monday afternoon so they are good there.
Thanks for all the well wishes, sympathy, prayers and support the community has shown!
Take care and God bless,

Mary Ullrich project needs
We're looking at moving Mary in next weekend. We have the following needs and are looking for VOLUNTEERS.
I'll have updates on the project including a wrap up thanking all the contributors as well as details on a celebration coming soon.
Electrician - We have the power connected and working but I'd like a licensed electrician to come take a look and make sure everything is proper and safe.
Landscaping - we had a company generously offer and I planned on finding them in Facebook history when the time came but now history search isn't working. We'd love to have someone come out and help spruce it up some.
Fence - Daryl Graff and Jennifer Cruz Graff have been saving some pickets from jobs they do for us to use but I'll need someone to install. It's about 140-160 feet and only needs to be high enough to keep medium sized dogs in.
UPDATE: We have a refrigerator now. Refrigerator - the house has one but it's kind of moldy and rusty if anyone has a better option.
Stove - it's set up for natural gas but she has propane so need it converted.
Deck - we built the deck but I'd like to have a cover of some sort put on. It can be wood built or an awning if someone is able and interested.
UPDATE: We have the tires covered. Tires - her two front tires are 10 years old and shot. I've got Tires2Go in Pearland looking for used but no luck so far and new are $100 each installed.
Firewood - we cut down lots of trees and have lots to haul off or burn. If anyone wants some, it's free if you haul away.
Thanks and God bless!

UPDATE: Luanne Triolo Newman, Darci Chambers, Will Gadzinski and Alecia Dillow Quiroz have all stepped up and offered to coordinate helping Kenneth. If you want to assist as well, please post your thoughts on one of my posts or reach out directly to one of these very kind individuals. Again, I am unable to coordinate at all so please direct as much as possible to them. Thanks again and God bless!
Me again! Got a call from a Vietnam Veteran, Kenneth, struggling with PTSD and other challenges and has also had his truck broken down since at least December. He's contacted Gods Garage and others but nobody has been able to take him on. He says his engine is ticking and was told it needs replaced. I have a lot going on right now with finishing the Mary Ullrich project and a few others that I can't take another on right now.
Any chance there is someone out there who could contact him, vet the situation and determine if/what needs done and then maybe see if they could raise funds to make it happen? I would donate the labor if someone could come up with the funds for the parts. My guess is you'd need $2000-$2500 for parts cost to do it right.
As a disclosure, I do NOT know this gentleman at all but he seemed genuine. So, the first step should be to determine what the real situation is.
Please message me directly for contact info.
Thanks in advance and God bless!

I'm Back....and Mary Ullrich Update
I figured everyone could use some news to warm their hearts this morning (sorry, can't do anything about your toes)! And, to let you know I am back...for now. I got banned from Facebook for 30+ days for something totally asinine but I won't go into it for now...we'll just focus on the good.
Mary's project faced a couple of challenges we would NEVER have expected but we've worked through them and Mary is safe, happy and anxious to get into her new home.
We moved her home into place February 6th and it was quite the ordeal as her new home is longer than we thought and we ended up having to put it lengthwise on her lot instead of width like it used to be. We have electricity hooked up and we're trying to get her water and sewage in place but the rain, mud and now cold have put a hold on things. We have a lot of household furnishings we were going to move in this past Saturday but it was too muddy so we had to call it off for now.
In the meantime, Mary is enjoying her vacation along with the pampering, lunch dates and puppy visits (that's one of mine and I know Mary only invites me over now to see my dog). She is very happy and excited and we hope to get her into her place in the next 7-10 days but that is dependent on the weather and contractors who have donated their time and expertise.
I will provide additional updates once we get final plans in place and we do plan on having an official reveal and party and we will invite as many as possible.
In the meantime, thank you to everyone who has made this possible and please be safe out there!
Thank you and God bless,
Jeffrey Klima
