Oh I understand. We almost lost it all a few year ago. It was day by day but by the grace of God we pulled through. 2 years of not very good sleep and robbing Peter to pay Paul. When that all started I owed around 6.5MM and we are down in the 2.7MM range now. As we get things paid off it’s going to be a lot harder for me to borrow that type of money again. Everyone thinks your rich because you have high gross numbers but everything else it high also. Heck payroll is over 200K every other week.
I'm kinda stuck because I'm the business. People hire me because I'm me and do a great job. I do work for Paul ryan and they like me. Plus the dentist and lawyers in town. I'm not in the phone book and its word of mouth only. Best advertising there is. I could sell 3 million of work but could never accomplish it. So I lay back and believe that higher forces will show me the way and its been working. Heck I'm friends with all you scofflaws!

If you can keep food on the table and roof over your head, you’re doing better than a lot of people.

Don't let your customers know your friends with us. Might give you the wrong reputation around town. ;)

I'm kinda free I can go on most trips got nice new equipment. Growing up I never went anywhere. I forced myself to go to the first takeover. If you don't travel you never realize how stupidly easy it is and the great people you meet! @joeymt33 ...

I’ve spent the last 3 hours going through about 8000 pictures over the last 4 years of experiences since we first got the P700.
557AEBB9 C7BE 4FEA 861A 0D93423ABAB9

Since then we’ve gone much further, opened up new opportunities, gotten out of our comfort zone,drove across the nation, done things we’ve never done and met and become friends with some of the best people in our lives.
We were always a close family, had some friends and got out and rode together. Having a Pioneer changed some things. It’s not always been an easy road and we’ve had some issues but what I just saw in those 8000 pics since the 700 were a lot of smiles and us across the nation and some of our friends here as well.
We’re in more debt then before the Sxs’s but things are mellowing out and currently only owe less then 4yrs on anything including the house. We don’t have much but we have each other, a couple awesome machines, some good friends, great memories and most importantly more time to do more, get out more, enjoy our friends more and experience more.
Experiences make you who you are even the bad ones. I wouldn’t change s*** after looking back at those pictures today. To our friends and those that have added to our experiences, THANK YOU!
