Happy Birthday Brooks

Dad gave me a rust bucket 49 Jeepster when I was 14. Bodyman helped me redo it. Had it done by the time I was 15. My cousin would come over from Charlevoix and we would go cruising. When I graduated I put a Chevy drive train in it. The good old days.

Morning. Back home today after 5 days of fun. Bummer.

Morning. In Detroit, heading to Traverse City. Feels good to get the heck out of town. I forgot to ask Bobcat. Did you get a date for Boyne this year?

I know a guy who owns a parts store. My parts are more expensive, but nicer. The techs send stuff back all the time. We try to save the customer money, but some of those parts are too crappy to install. Then we put Ford parts on.

Back to the real world. Wednesday I have to go to a dinner in Detroit for a Ford awards banquet. Then back to Traverse for 4 days of Ford annual meeting. I get to eat, drink and sleep on Fords tab for 4 days.

Everything was FUBAR. But we got it straightened out. That’s how you put on a good show. Don’t show your derailments. The Street Show was out of this world. 20k people I would guess. Yesterday was miserable, but with the delay we still put on a hell of a show.

Get your certification, I need another tech. No more hot days, cool fresh air everyday. No lawn mowing 8 months a year. Sounds like a dream job.

My buddy George had the Swan in his barn. He would put it in the pool at his old house. He was hoping I would sink it. I deflated it and put it in the boat. His truck and trailer are parked at my house. I put the swan back in his truck under the cover. I’ll wait to see how many weeks until he...

Hung out with Leonard the Swan all afternoon. That’s me sleeping in the Whaler.

I finally have some Mavericks in stock. They have been a good seller. I can sell a nice one for 34k. The Ranger is 43k. But I still took 2 Ranger orders that hopefully will be here this month. Things are slowly coming around. It has been a slow year.

Time to get the old cars ready for the parade.

Didn’t catch much boating news this weekend. Because I was on a boat. Great weekend on the water.

Good day on the water, a little sun burned or maybe wind burned. But we had fun.
