There are 2 accidents blocking everything on highway 129 on the very steep corner just before neel gap if you are heading northbound and just after neel gap going southbound. Jordan stated that they are 2 seperate accidents, one is a motorcycle and trike and the other is a semi big rig with a car stuck up under it. They are trying to land the life flight helicopter to care for people. Let us hope everyone is okay. Everyone please be careful out there.

Goood morning all our friends, fam, and followers.. i hope everyone had an awesome night of sleep. You all deserve the best.. i will start of the daily shuttle stories with a story from yesterday when we had a little hiccup while doing a neel gap to winding stair gap shuttle. While mary was climbing out of a valley on us64 heading towards winding stair gap to drop the rider off at winding to begin their hike south to their vehicle the vehicle sputtered and choked on the climb under demand and so it lasted for about 15 seconds and came out of it and she continued on without problem. As soon as she had signal she contacted me and informed me of the issue and so i was expecting this to happen. So a few months back i had the catalytic, exaust pipe and muffler replaced at a mom and pop garage. Well, i should have been ontop of my game and i was not and so the mechanic purchased an after market catalytic and you cannot do that with toyotas and soobs, etc. They need to have an oem part or an after market part that is equal to an oem part. A catalytic convertor has precious metals in it that scrub the exaust fumes of pollution. So if the exaust is not being filterer properly the exaust passed thru a sensor called an o2 sensor and this sensor reads the exaust and if the catalytic is not doing the job it is supposed to be doing it sends back a signal to the cars computer and the computer will throw cel aaand it will throw it in a vehicle limp mode to protect the engine components. Well, the catalytic in the yota that i had replaced a few months back is junk and is causing the rav to stall under heavy load. Now this happened once so far, but it will get worse as the catalytic continues to malfunction and clog up. So.. mary dropped the rider and came back to georgia and in the meantime while she was on her way back i went to work on what needed to be done. I was already prepared for this issue because about two weeks after we replaced thr catalytic convertor the cel went off and it threw a po420 code which is the magical code for catalytic convertor on all cars!! It is the universal code for consumers saying you are about to get smacked with 1500 to 3k fix depending on vehicle!! Hahhaa.. but yes the code was triggered and the cel were liting up the dashboard. We were waiting to take her in and get her fixed cause i wanted to replace it after the fall rush when it was dead during holiday times so we did not interfere with our work and we had time to save some extra loot to fix the same part again!! Hahaha.. so mary got back to the pad and she called toyota and the mechanic got us in a few hours later and we had a long talk with the mechanic and figured out a game plan and decided we were going to replace the catalytic again with yota and so we were quoted 1800 out the door and we orderd the part and soon as it lands we will get the call and set the time to meet them and get the rav fixed up with another brand new catalytic, but it will be the toyota oem part so we will be all good to go. So yesterday we had a very long day, but it all worked out and man i could not be any happier. No matter what happens all we can do in life is to keep on keeping on and do not ever let anyone try to slow you down or try to tell you you cannot do it or your idea is dumb, etc. Believe in yourself and go after whatever it is you are looking for. Stay positive and focused on the goal. If you keep your focus on what you want and you work hard and never stop and believe in yourself.. i promise you will succeed. Be beautiful and kind. Spread stories that lift people up from being down and out. Leave the negative vibes behind. Negative vibes are lame and boring and man they only drag people down.. alright.. i hope everyone has an awesome day. I must get moving.. work is calling!! Hehe. One love. Thank you all for supporting the team. Peace and safe travels

Hey, hey, heyyyyy!!! Gooooood morning all our friends, fam and followers.. i hope everyone had an awesome night of sleep...
08/27/2026

Hey, hey, heyyyyy!!! Gooooood morning all our friends, fam and followers.. i hope everyone had an awesome night of sleep and if you are just getting home from working all night or staying up all night and just getting ready for bed i want to say "goood night".. and have beautiful dreams, rest well.. sleep is super important along with eating well balanced diet and staying hydrated.. so today we have a slower day with shuttles so that leaves us with more time to get other things done. Keeping all our paperwork organised is super important for tax purposes. We go thru alot of money through the year that is related our business. We do over 150 to 200k a year on mileage for schedulings so we have alot of gas receipts, garage repair receipts and on the road receipts. Mary and Jdan spend alot of time in their vehicles so food and tolls, etc all have to be filed. There is alot to do when it comes to keeping the business all straight and this all takes up time in the day and you want to keep on top of it or you will get buried and that is facts. There is very little time for fun when you gotta keep the bills paid so we work, but we love what we do. We love helping hikers achieve their goals. That is why we never stop.. it gives mary and i a purpose. We employ people and help put food on their table and we help people see and feel and to experience the magical moment you and i all talk about. The trail is made of multiple little communities and all of them are needed to keep the trail safe and passable for everyone to enjoy.

1. The trail maintenance people. There are over 30 trail maintenance crews along the 14 states the trail passes thru that keep the trail safe and passable for all to enjoy. Usfs, sars, and other acronyms like atc, aldha, etc..

2. The forest and all the aninals that dwell there.

3. The town businesses. The gas stations, grocery stores, and garages, supply stores.. these stock the trail businesses.

4. The trail businesses that keep the trail safe and passable and that can be hostels, shuttles and gear shops.

5. The hikers... without all of us together there is no need for the trail.. we are the magic.

This is how i see the trail and always have.. without organisation it would be complete chaos. As the popularity of the trail grows do does the chaos because everyone wants to have their own little world and everyone is welcome to have their own little world. That is what is so beautiful and magical about the trail. People come here to escape the grasp of the cookie cutter chaos and the negativity that is just everywhere today in the cities and towns and all over the internet and people come here to escape that madness.. people need to leave that mentality behind in the city and use the trail for what it was meant to be used for and that is to heal and hike and conquer your ego or to find ones soul. That is why i came here and mary and i are still here today because i needed to get away to find myself and man i told mary we needed to get to the trail and hike cause that is how i did it when i was young and man we threw everything away and came and i found my soul and chased it and man while i was trying to catch up with all the years of chaos and healing mary found something about herself also that the trail showed her and so we both wanted to give that experience to others that were also searching and here we are today.. anyways... so today we are going to be getting all the things on the side that we need done, done... haha.. so j'dan will be up at neel gap today helping hikers with their gear.. biscuit will be holding down the chairs and i will be answering calls and emails and making sure everything is running smooth. If i have some time i may get some ps5 in and i just bought the halo reboot for ps5 cause they microsoft/xbox is allowing sony to use halo which is very cool.. haha. But i will probably, maybe get on and do some gaming and play some guitar.. usually when we try to do something fun we get a call to go and run a shuttle!! Hahaha.. alright... i gotta get moving. I hope that explaining how business works really helps folks understand what it really takes to keep a shuttle service running out here. There are too many talking about what they do not know about and too many listening and parroting what they do not know about which i call misinformed information and so we want to take the time to show those who are ill informed on how it really works. I come with videos and stories with my explanations of how it works from experience and not just telling stories that i heard about somewhere. I have a few millions miles worth of stories to tell about shuttling and people we have met and helped and invited into our home.. it has been a long ten years of everyday helping hikers achieve their goals. We have been non stop for about a decade and watched alot of hikers come out and start their first hike. We have assisted alllllloooooot of hikers. Wow. Haha.. i never really thought about how many we have helped, but it is alot. 4 Hahaha.. k. Have a great day.. we appreciate everyone. One love... peace and safe travels

The trail is magical place.. be kind. Be positive. Be awesome.. negative vibes are lame, boring and exausting.

Goooooood beautiful morning from blairsville, ga. Man, it is another absolutely gorgeous day to be alive. Be beautiful and kind. The trail is a magical place if you put the negative vibes aside and let the trail speak to you. People come here to escape the chaos of cookie cutter society. Most of us are looking to escape the grasps of the internet and the noise of the city.. the non stop loud noises of today and the one up you society we live in. Mary and i left the city because we did not want to deal with people that want to take all the time. They will step all over someone or something to be on top. People will cut a person down just to make themselves look better instead of just doing it better and giving your neighbor a hand up while doing it better. I would rather see someone prosper and be able to feed themselves than see them stumble and fall and not be able to put food on their table and clothe themselves. Mary and I do not live to hurt others, i'm a giver and a lover.. Im the type of guy that wants everyone to be happy and i will give to people to try and help them.. i'm an easy target because i have a big heart. We do not take in alot of people anymore like we used to. The first 5 or 6 years we took in alot of hikers and gave away alot of merchandise and money to help those we thought needed it. Some hikers were awesome and were grateful and went on to finish their journey and some were not and we discovered they were just not good people and had to kick them to the curb. We have watched this trail grow for the last decade and man when 2020 hit is when i saw a huge change out here.. every year it seems to be harder to escape the chaos of the cookie cutter society. People are bringing the city mentailty to the trail systems and man they should be leaving it in the city. They are trying to change what does not need changing. Mary and I mind our own business and work and take care of hikers like we always have. We see the trail as a place for people to come and heal and find their souls. We are not here to single out people or create a group or to be some clique. We are here to help other like minded people achieve their goals to hike the appalachian trail and to experience the real trail vibe where one comes to hike and does not have anything in mind, but to have fun.. the trail is an experience that you will not experinece anywhere else or you can, but the vibe is hard to find.. anyways.. so today we will be take a break and getting some stuff done at the shop and working on getting end of month bills paid up.. got house rent and shop rent, commercial insurance for the shop and shuttle, shop electric and water bill for the shop and the house. Grocery shopping.. we are going to grab some belgian chocolate to make some chocolate gelato. We have been working on some large schedulings and so we have a few groups lined up that will be calling to get locked in for the ride. So when we do large group schedulings it can take up to a month of back and forth communication to get everything set up. We get an idea of what the hiker is looking for and we go over everything they are looking for in their hike. We ask if they are looking for a hostel stay or a hotel stay and we find out how many miles they can hike a day and if a large group we talk about how that usually works and we always make sure we warn everyone that your group is only as fast as the slowest hiker... so do not plan on the strongest hikers time because it can create huge issues when timing gets meseed up cause if the first day time does not work because of a slower hiker the rest of the rides are going to need to be adjusted and that can cause huge issues if we have to move schedulings around and it does happen. I see alot of talk online about shuttles and people always have this vision that all a shuttle driver does is take a call and they just tell us this is where we want to meet and thry scribble it down on s tw***ie wrapper and we are good to go and maybe that works that way with some drivers.. not with us. When we started our show we wanted to be different than what we had experienced out here when it came to being a real shuttle business. We wanted to give hikers a safe ride with drivers that drive the speed limit and drive brand nre cars and to be commercially insured and man the first year we did well and the second year we made a move to expand. See our idea was to start a shuttle business and we would hire hikers getting off trail that needed some time and a job while they transitioned back to cookie cutter society. We would give the hiker a job, a car, insure it, gas it up and let them drive it while they were not working and give them a place to live while they made money with us driving for us and getting themselves ready to inject themselves back into the real world. And man we paid the drivers 70 percent of the pay. The 30 percent we took was to keep the car on the road and pay for gas and insurance, etc. So when year 2 rolled up we hired a dude named tyler who hiked in 2016 and was working up at mtn crossings and so we hired him for the 2018 year. I borrow 5 grand and bought a subaru gt and dumped about twenty grand in parts into her and we ran shuttles. Now mary and i lost a bunch of money that year, but gained lots of experience. So we made it to 2019 and a tree fell on our car and destroyed it and man this happen in march of 2018 and it was full on thru hike season and man we needed the money!! We were only a frw years jnto our business and still building and broke as a joke and doing all we could to stay afloat. So i did not say this part.. when mary and i got off trail we had nothing. We had like 1200 bucks and no car.. just the back packs that we rolled into town with. So we had an idea and the motivation to make it happen. We had no credit either so we were working with what we had and that was what we made hustling our butts off. When the tree fell on the car we were screwed. We did not stop there we went a rented a car and ran that car for two months and saved 6 grand and man i called all the car dealerships and hunted high and low for a place to buy a car and i honestly did noy think we could buy a new car and was looking for used and man i ran into an ad on facebook and it was for a rav 4 at toyota in buford and so i called and made an appointment to go down and look at their vehicles. Well.. let me say that we walked out of that place with a new car and so we returned the enterprise car and continued to move forward. So we after the 2018 dilemma with the second driver we were going to try again, but we needed to get thru the first part of the new hiker season. So we hit mid year 2019 and we have a brand new rav 5th gen the new gen ravs and it was nive it was loaded to the gills and awd with torque vectoring and was vegan leathered out, etc. It was loaded limited and mary had her new office.. so in mid 2019 we would see the hikers we brought to town sitting out on the circle and man it was cold in march and april so we saw this and. Wanted to help out so we went and found a spot to rent intown where hikers could go and drop their backpacks and sit back and be safe and we were not looking for donations or or any money to hang loose.. it was a free spot for us hikers to have a safe spot. So we rented a spot and opened up for people to hangout in 2020 and man we all know what happened in 2020. Sad times, man.. anyways.. so we are working on scheduling a group that will be coming to hike the entire state of georgia and so for the last couple days mary has been working with the group leader and setting up pick up spots and drop off spots and what we charge for each ride, etc, etc.. and so today she will be taking payment and sending over schedules and locking it down. Jordan is back and he will be up at the mtn crossings store today helping out the hikers and tourists that pass thru neel gap. I will be on the phones and taking care of the back ground noise and doing net work... we are going to get some more gelato churning. Yesterday we got two flavors done and they are bangjng.. peach gelato and caramrl gelato. Both are sooooo goooooood... but today i want to do a chocolate gelato. I love making gelato!! Hahhaa.. it is sooo relaxing and rewarding. After all is said and done. Hahaha.. biscuit is going to be cute and sleep and probably need some treats and love.. hehe.. man, i will stop babbling.. lots of memories are really running thru my mind. So much has happened the last few years. I lost my mom and step dad my moms soul mate which a year after art passed my mom passed on and man i lost one. Of my close friends all in like a few years time and man after my mom passed on it is weird, but i felt this loss like my mom and dad are gone and it is just me and my brother that i have not seen since 2012. It is a weird feeling to know i will be passing on too. I have been thinking alot about not seeing my mom before she passed on. Im not sure how to feel.. i just feel kind of lost and sad cause i will never see or talk to her again. All my life i wondered how i would feel when my mom passed on and man it is just hard sometimes. Anyways. I'm gonna get on with my day. I hope everyone is doing awesome. You all Deserve good things in life. Be beautifil and kind to yourselves and to others around you. Spread positive vibes. Negative vibes are lame, boring and exausting. Drama sucks... have a beautiful day. One love peace

Alright... yayyyy.. j'dan made it back from new york vacation!! He just rolled in this morning. He will be heading up to the gap to assist tourists hikers with just bill. Hahaha... he says he is tired from driving 14 hours home and all he can give is two thumbs up and a smile for y'all, but he is ready if anyone needs assistance. If someone needs assistance we go without question. We go out in rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, snowstorms, ice storms, covid world shutdown.. we leave no hiker behind!!! Hahaha.. so fall hike tour is on the go.. we are filling spots!! One love. Thank you all for supporting the team. We appreciate everyone.. be beautifully kind to yourself and to others.. negative vibes are lame, boring and exausting. Hike safely. Peace

08/25/2026

Gooooooood beautiful morning.. man, life is awesome. Be beautiful and kind.. be positive.. negative vibes and lame, boring and exausting.. the trail is a magical place.. so yesterday mary took care of a couple or groups of hikers. We started the day off with a amicalola longterm parking to neel gap. Directly after the neel gap drop mary made her way back towards amicalola to the long mtn lodge where met the second group of hikers. It was the group of ladies that are parked in our yard and we had 95 percent of their gear already so they loaded up the few things they had and mary was enroute back to base to get the ladies back to their car and they were heading home. They were absolutely awesome to work with.. we are lucky to have awesome customers that communicate awesome and are ontop of their game on being on time. They were in no rush at all.. and i like that. After mary got them back here we started prepping dinner or i should say mary startrd prepping dinner and i was actually scheduling a few rides aaand cooking up some caramel. Caramel takes alot of patience and there is no rushing it so that means. Constant stirring and never leaving it alone cause it takes a second for it to burn or go bitter so i had some calls that i had to call back after i finished stage 1 of the cook. Hehehe.. they were usuals ordering up rides for another section. We had a davenport to fontana dam aaand a blairsville local custie wanting an airport drop with a pick up here in blairsville. So i got them scheduled and got the caramel finished up for our gelato and mary got dinner ready. We have thai chicken, rice, and fruits with kimchi, black beans, etc. 9. J-dan is almost home and so he will be rolling in here in the next few hours and then he will be up at mtn crossings today assisting hikers. Biscuit will be holding down the chairs and making sure his food does not go stale. Ok everyone.. i must get to creating some videos and get some breakfast into me. I hope everyome has a beaitiful day. One love... peace and safe travels

Goooooood beautiful morning all our friends, fam, and followers.. it is another gorgeous day to be alive.. life is good. I have everything a man could ever need and man it feels great.. what an awesome night of rest after a very busy week of shuttles, bill paying, and scheduling rides. Mary has been to atlanta at least multiple times in the last week and i have answered the phone alot and repeated my sell line probably a hundred times. Hahaha.. sometimes i feel like i'm singing the sell line i say it so much especially during the beginning of the year or spring hiker rush or last of the year at fall rush cause i answer the phone all day, everyday, one call after another and man i say the same thing everytime i pick up the phone up.. i mean there is only so much you can say since we are talking about the same trail for the last ten years. Hehe.. but yes i do love talking on the phone and man used to sell stuff on the phone as a younging traveling the country some of the easiest jobs to get after rolling into a city broke as a joke i could always get a job telemarketing!! Hahaha.. they will hire anyone and so man i have done everything from refinancing houses at queen anne bank and loan to selling coupon books for a dude that owned a radio station out of bar harbor, maine to begging for money for king county search and rescue out of some sweat box shop in the u district in seattle. I have door to doors sales in california back in the early 90s too.. wow that was wild. We would go to courses to learn to sell product door to door. Anyways.. i have always loved talking with people and helping them out with whatever they need. So yesterday we assisted a rider that we shuttle back and forth from the atlanta airport to their house on murphy, nc. And vice versa with a shuttle back to the airport and mary made her way back up to the mtns and while she was on her way back up i received a call from the 3 ladies we have on trail and they wanted a pick up at gooch gap and shuttled to dahlonega to a lodge they had reserved for the night. The ladies have their vehicle here at the house and so we dropped them off at amicalola last week and they had called us for a ride out of hickory flats cemetery that we could not assist with the other night and so i called in the usual suspects ron b, bret and jeff to see if any of them could scoop the ladies up and get them to a hotel or a hostel and bret was hiking in nc, ron could not assist as he was on a run and so jeff was the last to answer and was able to help out so i called the girls and told them what i could make happen and they were ecstatic about being able to get into town to get a hot shower and soft bed to end the day with. So on the way into town with jeff the ladies called and wanted to know if we could get them back to hickory flata cemetery and i told them we could not assist with the shuttle and why we coild not assist and told them to see if jeff could make it happen which he was able to get the back in the morning which was wicked cool cause we were booked tight for the times they needed help with and i did not want to see them get stuck without a ride being down a driver sucks... hahaha.. j-dan will be back today so that will help us out alot cause he does alot for us so when he leaves on vacation cause we have to pick up on the extra work and it can be a heavy load so when he leaves we get overloaded. So jeff got them back out to the trail and enroute i received the call from the ladies needing a shuttle later in the day from gooch gap and so mary would be coming back from atlanta around 11 am and that could put us at gooch gap at the time they were looking for.. so during the call with the ladies they asked if it would be ok to have jeff drop their packs at the house and if we could bring it with us when we pick them up at gooch gap and so i timed everything from atlanta to the housr and then back to gooch gap and so mary would have to go past gooch about an hour to meet me. At the house to load the gear up so we could have it when we met the ladies at gooch so mary made it back here around 1:30 pm where i loaded the rav up with gear and she headed out to the gooch. So we scooped the ladies and shuttled them to their lodge stay and dropped them off and there they rifled thru their bags to grab whatever they needed for the night and mary loaded up the remainder of gear and loaded back up to bring it back here to stash away for them. Today mary willl meet them at the lodge to shuttle them back here to their car and they will head on home. After we will see what happens for right now we are planning on a churn session om some caramel gelato!! Yummmmmmy!! Hehe.. we will see.. i will be here answering calls and waiting for our man j-dan to roll in cause i have a bunch of work for him to do!! Hehehe.. for me i will ne manning the phones and doing my daily thing and making the magic happen. Biscuit will hold down the chairs and make sure his treats never go stale. K. Thank you everyone for supporting the team. We try hard to keep everyone safe out here.. we love seeing people smile and enjoying themselves. Man, be positive. Be beautiful and kind. Leave the negative vibes in the city. No one wants to listen to it out here.. that is why most of escape the city to leave those who spread hate and negative vibes behind. Mary and I will kick anyone to the curb who spreads hate and negative vibes cause we just do not care for it. That is why we left the city and came back to the mtns where i'm from. I grew up in the hills of maine on a large farm and where i came from we give to our neighbors and lend a helping hand. It is in my bloodline to help others. Growing up in maine in small little town where farms were what made the town up. My family owned alot of farm land and cattle and i remember every summer all the farms would get together and bail and throw hay for winter feed for the cattle. We would grow large fields of cow corn and man harvest the corn and piling into silos and the smell would permeate the town for months with that fresh cowdung smell or the smell of fermenting corn!! Haha.. i can rememember the smell very well. But the farmers sons and cousins, sisters, aunts, mothers, grams and gramps all would gather and throw and stack hay and man it was good times. My grandpa and grandma would cook up huge meals for the football team that were working on the farm cause my dad played football, basketball and was valedictorian of halldale back in the 60s and this is when the kids of the towns worked and they still went out side and parents knew where they kids were and what they were doing.. it was just a different time and so that is how i was taught. My family had been hallowell maine since 1776 when maine was still massachussets. My ancestors went to maine to survey land for a company called plymouth company and his name was ephraim and the wifes name was martha ballard and she was a midwife and delivered over 900 babies from 1776 to 1806 ish along the kennebac river and from that point on my family lived in hallowell maine and helped people live thru the hardtimes of homesteading. They were giving away 500 acre lots of land to homestead and that is how maine started.. anyways. Enough of my babbling. Haha. I hope everyone has an awesome day. The trail is a magical place. Be kind to each other and most of all be good to yourselves. You deserve it. One love .. peace and safe travels ..

Man.. goooood beautiful sunday morning all our friends, fam and followers.. life is good. Be beautifully kind.. be positive. Spread positive vibes. The trail is a magical place and man if a person comes here to find their soul and they open their eyes and ears and stay quiet i promise they will find themselves and more, but the person has to want to find the change.. k. So yesterday was a long morning. Mary and I had spent the last week protecting our kingdom from theives that want to deprive us of our hard work and money. Hehe.. that is how i see our business and man we have to protect jordan and others that work for us cause that is part of our job and promise to our employees that we will keep money flowing through and work so we can all pay our bills and be outstanding citizens. Mary and I spent the last week planning our strategy to beat the "chargeback kid" so mary and I were absolutely wrecked by exaustion from working triple time and me i do not sleep well when someone is trying to cheat us and i will stay up all night studying our enemy and finding out who they are as a person and what they are about and i will make a game plan with mary and after we try and do what we plan. Aaaaanyways... we had an noc to wayah bald yesterday morning and after mary dropped the riders she came back to georgia and met a man to grab some sourwood honey and we were supposed to get some purple honey, but that did not work out on the purple honey, but we did get some really nice sourwood honey with a really nice smooth taste.. melt in your mouth honey like butter or a smoooth perfect temp. Gelato. The purple was not what we were looking for so we left it behind and i went to a farm in north carolina that has the purple honey and bought two ounces of it for 60 bucks with delivery. From what i have been reading purple honey only happens on nc and they say it is from the kudzu, but i also read that they have done scientific atudies and it may be from the aluminum in the soil reacting with the bee hives, bees, honey. There is more to it so if you are interested in reading about it check it out on google search engine. The package will be here in a few days anf i will post it when it arrives. We are excited to try it out. Super stoked. After mary met the bee man she continued to neel gap where she met our second group and shuttled them to amicalola. We had picked the group up several days back at amicalola and shuttled them to gooch gap where they ended their hike last time they were here. We had assisted the hikers a few years back when they got caught in the dark without headlamps between cooper gap and gooch gap and so j-dan had assist and helped with lighting the way. The couple was back to break off another piece of the trail. So we dropped them a few days back at gooch and they made their way to neel gap where we met them and shuttled them back to their vehicle. Today mary and I will rest and make some gelato for the week and some friends and after mary will head out to meet out riders at noland creek trailhead in the smokys and shuttle them to tapoco lodge in robbinsville, nc. After shae will make her way back to georgia and we will make some food and enjoy some television and downtime. For me i will be manning the phones and doing what needs to be done in the back ground and making sure biscuit holds the chairs down aaand that he does not go without treats or food when he summons us.. hahaha. Man, i'm going to end it here and i want to make sure we thank everyone for supporting mary and i and the team.. we appreciate you all. Be beautiful.. one love. Peace
