Breaking News: Pizza saved a man’s life.

March 1, 2010

It’s true. I saw it with my own eyes. Here’s how the story goes but let me set it up for you:

The “man”, Phil Esau, one of our resident iPhone Repair Experts, normally goes home for lunch as he lives very close to the office. Typically, just like every other Friday of the month, he would have left at about 11am to take his hour break to munch on some home made goodness. However last Friday was a little different. . .

We organized a company luncheon and I brought in a bunch of pizzas from our local delivery company.

So as the story progresses, it just so happened that Phil decided to stay at Mission Repair to eat pizza with the rest of the group. Concurrently, our local natural gas company, Atmos Energy, was making their rounds through Phil’s neighborhood and when they approached his house, they noticed a faint gas smell in the vicinity.

Upon further investigation and exploration the Atmos employee decides that there is some sort of major gas leak coming from Phil’s house! This is just crazy, and since there is no one home the only choice they have is to call the fire department to forcibly enter Phil’s house. Which they did.

The Olathe Fire Department smashed his front door in. During lunch, Phil received a call and rushed home to asses the damage.

There was in fact a leaking valve in the house. It had filled his house with gas, and had Phil made his way home for lunch at his usual 11am time slot, he would have entered like normal, flipped on a light switch, and the rest would be history.

It shall be known, that Phil “the luckiest man alive” was saved by pizza. It’s just the facts ;-)

OK, let me come down from the drama. This actually happened to Phil and he’s in the process of getting a new front door. He DOES feel lucky, and it was fortuitous that the gas man was walking by at the same time the leak started, and also that Phil did not come home at his normal lunch time. Phil, we’re glad to have you and your house intact!

In honor of Phil’s destiny unfolding before his eyes, we’re issuing a 15% off coupon to memorialize his big day. That’s right, 15% off any order between now and 3/15/10. Just enter coupon code “DESTINY” and it’ll remove that 15% off immediately. Just remember that this coupon cannot be used in conjunction with any other coupon!

Take care, Ryan

Snowballs in Kansas City and 10% off your entire order!

February 12, 2010

Hello all! Well the good “snowball snow” is melting fast, but just the other day my son Casey came home from school and made the biggest snowball that I’ve ever seen in person:

Casey with an "unthrowable" snowball.

The snow was just perfect. It was sticky (not powdery) for snowball making. Casey just rolled this beauty by himself around the yard until he couldn’t move it any more. You can’t see from this picture, but he had the help of a hill to his left, that “assisted” him in making this mammoth. What did he end up doing with it? It’s now reduced to just a small pile of snow that will probably be totally melted away by the end of the day.

In remembrance of Casey’s work, we’re gonna let Mission Repair work for you. Do you need an iPod or iPhone Repair? Not a problem, we’re offering 10% off your entire order today through Friday 2/19/10 at midnight. So don’t wait, get your order placed asap. Just use coupon code “bigsnow” and we’ll take 10% off your order (cannot be used in conjunction with any other coupon, sorry!)

Take care, and send me your favorite snowball pics. I’ll post them on the blog!

Repair your iPhone 3G Cracked Glass in less than 6 minutes!

February 10, 2010

Thank you to everyone for watching our iPod Touch Cracked Glass repair video in my blog post yesterday. We are finalizing our newest how-to video and we’re going to show you how to repair the cracked glass on the iPhone 3G using the same type of technique and assembly as the iPod Touch.

The iPhone 3G Glass Repair is a bit trickier, but doable. My production team is busy wrapping up the final editing of the video – and they hate me for adding this extra pressure – but it’ll be released today! Once again, we’re adding to the knowledge of the masses in case you want to know. Remember, that Mission Repair also provides iPhone Protection Plans against damages and failures on iPhones in the event you want coverage – it’s like iPhone Insurance. Let us know if we can help you out!

2nd Annual Love 2 Run – Kansas City this weekend!

February 8, 2010

Hello all- I cannot believe that it’s still snowing here in Kansas City – Ol’ Punxsutawney Phil wasn’t kidding. . .we are certainly getting 6 more weeks of winter here at Mission Repair! Thanks Phil. Normally, winter is just a “normal” part of life in K.C., however spring time events are approaching and I’m not ready! The first run of the year, the “Love 2 Run” 4 mile course is this Sunday, on Valentine’s Day, and I haven’t really been running much.

I know that I have the option to walk it, but I feel that walking 4 miles is going to be tough as well ;-) The good thing is, that it’s for a good cause and the beneficiary is the Head for the Cure Foundation that raises funds to defeat brain cancer. It’s for a good cause, which I love, and maybe this “shock” to my system will get me back to the gym more often. I still feel like a Christmas turkey!

I hope to see you out there this weekend. I’ll be sporting a Mission Repair shirt so I’ll be easy to spot. Come and say hi! If you’re not participating, or if you’re somewhere else in the country, I’ll post some pics up after the race. . .just for fun.

Take care, Ryan
