of your life that we want to chat about as well adam is a is a published author has published two books and we'll chat a little bit with him about that but let's start with the car wash we we did a show with a car wash about a year ago i guess with c j and we've invited you back because it's the fiftieth anniversary yes and i know that there are a lot of things being planned for to celebrate that and to acknowledge your fifty years in belmont much tell us about that sure well we're very excited about the fiftieth anniversary our father is the one that built the car wash and started it back in one nine hundred sixty four and we've we've continued the tradition so to speak and my brother paul and i have put a lot of time and energy into revamping the car wash for a big fiftieth anniversary we've done a good amount of  rebuilding the interior of the car wash we've totally renovated the waiting room we've added a lot more quick when inside the tunnel that washes the cars the tunnel is one of the largest in new england actually it's the longest one of the longest tunnels  anniversary june twenty first to july fourth that's going to be actual the dates that we're going to be running our anniversary special ok and what's the university's pressure could you tell us we're going to be doing a lot of a lot of different things my brother paul is going to be out there with his barbecue i'm sure quite often he's a big barbecue enthusiast and i told him that he couldn't he couldn't give away any of his homemade wine for men just with that with making his own wine but the winds are not going to going to make it but we'll have a lot of food we're rolling back the prices to nine hundred sixty four levels so for june twenty first through july fourth you can get your car washed for the same price you didn't one nine hundred sixty four which was the prices were a landscaping which i guess has been sold to valley caressingly crest you know the old belmont ford building and then recently you picked up the pleasantry garage and you've done an absolutely marvelous job at that building's going to be coming down unfortunately but fortunately for cushing square because we are going to be a great project and also one on belmont street across the street from my family you know by i graduated from there's something going on that i know you guys do a bunch of charitable work with the coalition i just got done with one this past weekend as a matter of fact with belmonte and club they did a fundraiser for cradles to crayons and we were we are always looking for groups who are interested in doing fundraisers we're happy to accommodate anywhere we can carwash a lot of times if it's just donations for raffles or auction items or an actual fundraiser where they take the day on a saturday and a portion of the proceeds and tips will go towards that fundraiser car washing is funny because it's a weather related business and it you always learn to watch that five day forecast but there are times during the year that when the weather is right some fund raising groups can can really make the car wash they have volunteers that come in and they actually dry off the cars the employees we have telling off the cars normally are also on and they oversee to make sure everything's done properly and run logistics and all the tips from that day in a portion fortunate enough to have a publisher pick up my works it's a lesson in humility when you're trying to pitch the book in the in the synopsis to different publishers and you get a lot of rejection letters that pile up but i was fortunate it wasn't a romance novel but it was a love story and i had a lot of fun writing that actually was my kind of my first foray into the writing world but the second book that's out now bull's eye it's a political thriller and i went with a different publishing group for that because it's a very different genre and this one i actually had to do a lot of research for it has to do with the secret service and female prison in the united states and i was out of washington d c and i did a lot of legwork online  boston globe west is also doing a story on it in the upcoming week so i'm excited hoping to get the word out there about the book and try to try to sell some copies great great the first book was was the romance and what got me thinking the plot for this book was i have a long commute in the morning and i usually you know listening to the radio like most people and i was always amazed at how much personal information people share on the radio when they call and it got me thinking and that was kind of the driving force behind this book and this girl had gotten a job in the radio station and had a very her fiance was very you know kind of very personal didn't like to share a lot of information and she just said a little too much one day on i enjoyed writing the political thriller so this third one is going to follow the bull's eye the promise of a bull's eye you've got a female president of the united states that's trying to pass landmark immigration reform and also running election campaign with someone who's trying to legalize marijuana who used to work for the cia there's a lot of there's a lot of moving parts here and it's you know the secret service agent that's tast with protecting this president obviously has a lot of challenges a the third book is still along the political drama and some characters from the second book on the show of the book that the book is in its earliest parts of writing right now pending upon how well does it may or may not have some of the same some of the same i've had i've been asked by the people that have read the book to keep some of the characters so that you have to be determined a lot of the books that would really have you or you just sort of get into this habit of the same character keep showing anyway so the celebration of the actual celebration for the car wash is going to be in june yes but with the unit when he first julian is going to run through july fourth ok and you'll still see a lot of changes coming up at the car our big show that takes between an hour and an hour and a half again plenty of comfortable places to sit and wait and the car really will come out looking brain and you know i've had the both of you have been very pleased so facebook and during the facebook has a throwback thursday version and every once in a while i don't run the facebook page and something will flash on my whose feet i'll see a picture of myself about fifty pounds of ever that skinny i can't believe would you know go in and you know he'd be there and you know do with the tires the white walls of that had to be in the late forty's a lot of cars were she's been around automatic which is automated carwash is we were one of the first ones in the area you really  was in the one nine hundred fifty s when the automated and what they at the time called automated and the technology as time goes by has really helped improve the quality of the car wash but they've been around since the late forty's early fifty's and this one here in belmont again was really you know one of the one of the first car washes in the area in used a lot of the oldest technology at the time that was he had a very successful construction industry had his construction company and he left it to open up a people again grandam new brunswick and it was he was very successful here and an honorary doctorate degree as a matter of fact because people has to be dry in order to harvest it and he
