Who’s your person? That you can call on at anytime and you’re thankful to know they will pick up. Once repaired something while i was in Subway. Said, “go inside and eat I got you.”
If can’t get to you right then, he’ll lead you in the right direction.
Anything small engine and parts in that circle. Brother from another mother.
That’s HIM.

Had one of the best customer service experiences in a long time. Sometimes Monday’s earn the right to be manic.
How does a wire poking out from a fence perfectly fit around your valve stem and break it?
I don’t know either but it happened. Immediately, all you heard was shhhhhhhhhh, tire goes flat!
Fortunately, was able to get back on trailer and called a local mechanic in LA. Unfortunately, had an emergency of his own.
Hmmm, google(Gemini) find me a local tire repair place. A list of places pull up ranging from 15min to an hour away.
Started calling, no one answered. Except one: Isiah @ Joe’s Tires.
Told him the issue and instantly said, “bring it on in - we will take care of ya.”
No appointment, no name, no nothing!
Just bring it on in.
Matthew the installer - equally impressive!
In & Out. Thank you!

Just alil something to chew on.
If you’re blessed to find the one, your significant other.
You don’t need to search their phone or any other technology based devices to confirm what you already knew.
Your one, is spiritually aligned. A covenant was established when you met and decided to do the darn thing. You’ll know when the other decided to get chips & dip out of another bowl.
It’s Labor Day Weekend-Enjoy!

Sometimes it’s a slice of history, this time it’s a scoop.
Got the rumor awhile back but the real scoop came today from the Big Scoop himself.
There was this hard headed lil kid that walked through this small path after school called that would later meet a man who helped him become a better student by ice cream and a scooter. I later addressed him as, Mr. Carl.
So far back in time, it was the type of scooter you had to use your feet & legs to move it.
It’s amazing what free ice cream can do. 32 Flavors at that. That’s another story.
You didn’t build a gas station & an ice cream parlor, you built a Florida Community Landmark & Meeting Place in . 45 years…. WHOA!
At only 21 years old, a young man started out to embark on his Legacy. You did that!
The retirement just getting started.
Thank you & Enjoy. Well done sir…
