Well it has been an eventful year, We had the fire and the minor success of getting the yard and Garage back in order. We took relationships to the brink and brought them back again. Truly a year full of UP’s and Down’s And this year we leave it on a bright note. A Blue moon starts or new decade and that is special.
We have Made friends and left some behind. We have been re-organized and shook up the dust in all areas.
We can look back and see where we have been and where we are about to go as a company and as a team.
I want to thank the powers that be, for all they have done to make this year better than the last in the company
I wish to thank my wife for everything, you are why I am here and why I keep doing what I do the best.
I promise that this blog will be more success orientated soon. We need to hear of more success and how to turn a sour customer into a happy one and keep them that way.
