It almost looks like he’s smiling!

Hello friends-

I’ve been out of the office for a few days in St. Louis working with NAPWDA and their amazing group of K9 work dogs…there were bomb, accelerant, cadaver, search/rescue and other types of dogs. Melanie (my webmaster) and I volunteered to be decoys at the “area search” station and with the help of Master Trainer Mike Perkins, we landed the job of “decoys”.

This meant that we needed to “hide” in the woods, while each handler took their respective dog through the paces and sent them off looking for us. Since these dogs are also protection dogs (and are used in law enforcement to find suspects), we either needed to put on a bite suit or crawl up a ladder into a tree stand quietly and wait for the dog to find us. Once they did – it was “game on” as the dogs would bark and intimidate while we waited for the handlers to come secure and reward them. Remember, this is training and these men and women need to keep their animals in top shape!

So, this cute pup was my first “lesson” for the day. You’ll notice that I took this picture from about 12 feet up in the air, and had I been any closer to the ground he might have ripped my boots off. It almost looks a little like he’s smiling, but make no mistake- he was all business and could smell my fear.

I like taking a little time out of my busy life to give back to the law enforcement and other agency groups when I can because they actually do lead thankless careers- it’s obvious that their dedication and devotion to protect us civilians just comes from within…so thank you to all of you that provide safety and security to the rest of us that don’t realize it enough. You’re our heroes.

Lastly – it was a fun day and I didn’t get bitten by any K9 dogs- only mosquitoes. They we out to get me!

Have a great afternoon and I’ll be back with some awesome Mission Repair news soon.

Best, Ryan

Mission:Complete! We’re opening Monday!

Hello friends-

It’s been a long road but we made good time…Mission Repair Express is going to open Monday morning, St. Patrick’s Day, 3/17/14! Yes, now I can look forward no longer painting for a while 😉

We’ve got some surprises in store for you, and we know that many of you have been waiting for us to open this new store. In fact, we’ve received several calls setting appointments for Monday; however remember that appointments are not necessary and we are open 7 days a week to serve you. We are at 5604 Johnson Drive in Mission, Kansas. Get it? “Mission, Kansas?” Yes, it’s perfect.

Mission Repair in Olathe is still going strong, but customer demand has driven this new location. We encourage you to stop on by and check us out. If you do pop in on Monday, we’re handing out $15 off coupons (no purchase necessary) for your next visit in the future (if you ever need us). Tell us what you think about the new store – what kind of accessories you’d like us to carry, what kind of services you’d like us to perform, or any other general inquiries or ideas are welcome.

So I’m happy to announce that we are on final cleanup and walk through this weekend. In fact, I’m sitting at the front desk typing this blog from the new Express location this afternoon and it feels great!

Thanks for your patience, the service lab is open on St. Patrick’s Day…and the party favors are on us!

Have a great weekend, Ryan

Price Drop! iPod Nano 6th Generation Front Glass & LCD Screen Repair

Hello M:R Nation

We have offered a screen replacement service on the iPod Nano 6 since its release. It has really been a great device over the years for many people and myself included. I actually use one as a watch and one in my car as my on-board music player. There is no need for a cd player or AUX jack when you have a tape deck!

Did you know that the nano 6 is the first and only iPod to make the transition from the “Chick-Wheel” to “Touch Screen”? Yep, from here on out, you will never see another iPod Nano released without touch screen controls.

Watch-you-doin?

Though the iPod Nano 6 is a generation old (In tech terms, not 18-20 years), there are still MILLIONS out there being used and enjoyed. For this very reason, we keep them at the front of our minds. With that, the front of out minds are saying “We charge too dang much for this service” so being the obedient people that we are, we listened to ourselves and lowered the price!

Starting today, you can have your iPod Nano 6 screen replaced for the LOW cost of $49.00! This is a $20.00 price slash that should make it more reasonable for you to repair instead of replace. That is what we are all about here at Mission Repair! Keep it out of those land fills, save some cash and save those settings!

Someone said it was Friday? Sheesh,  I have loads of work to do before I can start my weekend and it’s already 3:00pm…gulp :-).

So this is where I will leave you. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Cheers, Troy
