Best wishes from Down Under.

Shane, my apologies for my delayed response. Thank you for your kind words! She isn’t really able to make it to the shop, so we spend time together in the house. My brother is leaving Friday for a 3 week trip to Australia. He has friends in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne he is visiting. And an 8 hour drive to a ranch in the outback. He is pretty excited!

I see you are a GM/Holden dealer? I work for GM here...35 years last June.

Thank you lower! Yeah, I’ve just rolled it around in the shop for year and half.

Although I keep an eye on you on Facebook, I don’t always get the latest news.
I like all the pic with your grandkids! They have fun when the are with you!

Will do Kees! We really would have enjoyed having you guys here for HRPT last year. We have fun with the boys. The older one drove the Ranger 7 miles Sunday through a bunch of trails we have. He was really pumped...and did well.

Despite many prayers, Cindy’s health has gone the wrong way. We started dating 40 years ago and have been inseparable ever since, so his burden is difficult. Even so, we praise our Lord for the incredible support and resources provided to us. Job had it so much harder.

Will get back on the burb when the time is right.

On a more positive note, if you haven’t already, please check in on this years shop upgrade and my ongoing battle with bats...
