Glad you're enjoying the place. I'm stuck here cleaning up leaves. Been working on it for days and still not done. |

I'm really glad my friends are happy while I'm back here in Michigan working and paying for all the entitlements that you all enjoy.
On the bright side we got our Jeep back from SEMA today that has the Hell Cat motor in it that we put all of our new Jeep product on and I got to drive it...all I can say is WOW what a ride. It's for sale for 100k if anyone is looking for a new ride. Here is a pick. WWW.buywebasto.com. And some jeep products if anyone is looking.

Here are both Jeeps we took to SEMA, they both have Hemi's with the green one have a the Hell Cat Hemi. We bought them and had nothing but the best put on both of them for SEMA and our marketing campaign on out new Jeep aftermarket line. I can't remember if I told you but I retired from TRW and now work for a company called WEBASTO Thermo and comfort division where we supply heating cooling systems and electric sunroofs for the aftermarket and now into Jeep Aftermarket. It is based in here in Fenton. The ads you were seeing was our online Catalog and the people in the ads I work with. I'm thinking of buying a Jeep now so when I retire full time I have a fun vehicle for Arizonia.

Not this year, I don't know the product line up yet. I went the last 2 years for TRW and it's a lot of work but a lot of fun. I will be there again next year for Webasto.

So we stopped at Tony's on the way down here. Spent a nice day with him and Kathy. They've got quite a spread. You've seen all the pics, well it looks that good and even better in person. Tony took us for a tour of the property on his quad. He's cleared trails all around the place. Very interesting, cypress swamp, higher ground, a little bit of everything. He's cleared a nice spot on the river bank. Nice place to just sit, maybe throw a line in the water. So anyway, it's quite impressive.
Tony, Kathy, thanks for the hospitality. It was good seeing you two. |

Glad you were here Hank. I even got Hank to help dig some of the palmetto roots out of the ground. Now I'm on a mission to kill all this miserable poison ivy. That shit is everywhere. I couldn't see it when it was dormant, but man, it's like a horror movie now. Almost every tree along the river and almost every tree in the swamp has it. Looks like it's going to be a long fight.

Hey Hank, I hit a major goal yesterday. I have ALL the palmetto roots dug up from the bullet trap to the north fence. Every day I have spent at least two hours digging and cutting since you were here. The guy down the road has enough firewood to last him for a long time now. The roots will burn for a long time. We had some in the campfire that burned for two days. I've also got all the trees cut down for the additional fencing. I'm a little over 20 pounds lighter that I was when I got down here.

Tony, you're a mad man! Guys, let me tell you, Tony get's something going and there's no stopping him until it's done. Ric knows what I mean. He had a large area with palmetto roots every where. 7 am he's out there with a reciprocating saw and shovel cutting them and digging them up. I can't believe all the work he's done there. Clearing property, cutting trails through the woods, putting up fencing for the cows. BTW, had any more cows escape? Get the poison ivy under control? You need to sit down and enjoy what you have there Tony.
