    Needed a tree cut from over my house, I told them I can dispose of the tree, just put it on the ground. Might have overstated my tractors ability.
    That’s a couple of big logs

    Yes, 8’ through the middle, it was a live oak. Hated to take it down but it was to close to my house, and was getting in bad shape.
    My bobcat T650 didn’t want much of it.

    Things are so expensive, It’s difficult to live in this day and age without a loan payment of some kind.
    Great looking truck

    Watched the Jean Claude Van Damme movie "Black Water" last night. As expected the movie featured lots of gun and hand-2-hand fighting along with B-movie dialogue and cheesy over-acting, and it was also just too vandamme long. However the early parts were filmed at the Gulf Breeze Motel on Dauphin Island, and I thought that was kinda cool.

    Had a guy pull up just as we were finishing and wanted 2 gallon of oysters.
    I told him you almost missed us, we where finishing up and another 5 min, we would’ve been gone
    He said “the hell you would, I drove 50 miles to get here”
    I told him it wouldn’t have mattered, 5 more minutes and I simply wouldn’t have been here
    He laughed, I laughed, then I raised the price cause he was an ass

    Believe it or not It’s a true story. He then said to the last one of my workers their, “is he serious?”
    My worker just pointed at me and my dad and said “they’re the owners”
    We are not a retail establishment, We are a wholesaler to other businesses.

    I don't know your story as well as others probably do, but I like the way you deal with jerks, and I think you should feel proud that you are self-sufficient enough that you don't have to cater to people like that.

    Congrats!
