Florida’s hot summer days are quickly approaching, you may want to make sure your engine and cooling systems are properly running. Last year  I personaly remember a very disruptive day I had when my car begain over heating on I-4.   With no AC and a hot engine I tried to limp home by stoppingevery few miles.  I finally had to park the car and rent another car while my car was in the shop for 2 days of repairs.

A friend recommended Auto Masters in Lakeland.  They specialize in auto repairs, tires, car sales and almost any kind of automotive repair service in Lakeland.  They even have a fleet vehicle program for business owners.  Let me tell you it was worth checking out. I got a complete check-up had the radiator repaired and flushed.  During the process they identified a very small leak that was causing me to lose coolant. The repairs took about one hour – I was in and out!  Now that’s the way auto service should be. 

If you are looking for a quality auto repair in Lakeland, Florida – then Auto Masters Lakeland is who we recommend.   Unfortunately many people put off a visit to the garage until it is too late.  It is just like going to the dentist office, let me assure you not dealing with a mechanical problem only increases your cost of repair in the long run.  At Auto Masters in Lakeland they will inspect your car and provide a complete auto service estimate and even help you arrange transportation while your car is in the shop for repairs.

On May 14, Central Florida residents and visitors will have a chance to view the historic last launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis from the Kennedy Space Center.  Atlantis is one of three remaining shuttle orbiters, each of which is scheduled to have its final flight between now and the end of the year.  The mission designation for the flight is STS-132 (which stands for Space Transfer System mission #132).

Atlantis’ 12-day mission to the International Space Station (ISS) will deliver a 23-foot long, 17,000 pound Russian-built research module that will provide additional storage space and a new docking port.The module will be permanently attached toone of the existing sections of the ISS and will carry important hardware on its exterior including a radiator, airlock and a European-built robotic arm.  Three spacewalks are planned to install spare components outside the station, including six spare batteries, a Ku-band antenna and spare parts for the Space Station’s Canadian-built robotic arm.

This and the other final flights of Discovery on September 16 and Endeavor no earlier than mid-November will be the last opportunity to transport large components and spare parts to the ISS, which can only be delivered using the large cargo bay provided by the Shuttle.

This will be the 32^nd flight for Atlantis, which lifted off on its maiden voyage on Oct. 3, 1985.   Later missionsincluded the launch of the Magellan probe to Venus in May 1989,Galileo interplanetary probe to Jupiter in October 1989, the first shuttledocking to the Mir Space Station in June1995 and the final Hubble servicingmission  in May 2009.

Atlantis is named after a two-masted sailingship that was operated for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute from 1930to 1966.

In total Atlantis has logged 115 million miles of space flight has spent 282 days in earth orbit.

The scheduled launch time is 2:20 pm, given favorable weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center and at its downrange emergency landing sites in case one is needed.

For those who wish to be as close as possible for the launch, prime viewing sites are along the Indian River on U.S. Highway 1 especially in Titusville, the Beachline Expressway Rt. 528 where it crosses over the Indian River, in Cocoa Beach off Route A1A, and at Jetty Park at Port Canaveral.  Plan to arrive at least 3-4 hours prior to launch.
