NongAsimoLove the innovation of a Manatee County teenager.
Seventeen-year-old Riley Trask lives in Lakewood Ranch. As she was preparing to by a car her parents told her she would have to earn her own money in order to purchase a car.
So she opened up her own auto-shop out of her family's garage. She hired five of her girlfriends. She named the shop Riley's Rebuilds. You can mail in a carburetor, and Riley and her crew rebuild them and return them to their customers.
It's basically an after-school job for the girls.
"All females working," said Riley Trask. "It involves me and five other girls who are 17."
And great news for customers. They charge less than half of what normal places do.

Froggy’s Metal Detecting Finds
Froggy has pastimes he enjoys when he's not busy making us laugh on the MJ Morning Show or running the shelving business. His favorite hobbies are magnet fishing, regular fishing, and metal detecting. So basically, he enjoys anything that has to do with using a rod of some sort to lure or attract things.
We recently chatted with him about his metal detecting scores and what makes it fun. Here's what he had to say:
My metal detecting obsession began almost 10 years ago when I moved into a new house, and there was a metal detector left in the garage. One day, I decided to try it out. I went around my yard and found all kinds of old coins and cool fishing lures, as well as old bullets.
Since then, I have purchased a better metal detector. Now my sons and I like to find spots where a lot of people congregate. One type of spot we've had good luck at is under bleachers at Little League parks. On one occasion, we actually found a ring.
I found these decades-old Hot Wheel cars.

Well, the coolest part is that I actually found these cars in my parent's backyard.

What are those initials?
Looks like it says "GJM."
Maybe the money belonged to George Michael?
He wasn't just careless with his whispers, but with his money, too, and accidentally dropped that money clip somewhere.
Found some bullets on the beach.

I found this weird bracelet.
The eagle design looks a little bit like the Freemason's eagle logo.
We've also found old coins.
Photo courtesy of MCMetal detecting is a good time. You never know what you'll find, and there's a story behind every item.
