I’m not going to make it this year either.

Simply can not hire help at the shop. It’s only the owner and myself after our parts manager left in July. Interviewees either consistently stand us up and no-show, or they want a king’s ransom to get off the couch and come to work. It’s not a good situation, and I see sky-high car repair bills in EVERYONE’S future along with the other general inflation we’re all experiencing.

It’s not helpful that the wife and I came down with the COVID last month keeping me home two weeks already. It took 3 to get over it, and glad it’s behind us, but I’m going to have to retire myself to put one of these trips together it appears.

New T120 I bought last Christmas just rolled over 6,000 miles and both tires are toast. While y’all are riding N. Georgia I’m taking her in for new shoes, driving lights, fork springs and an early 10,000 mile service. At least it’s football season and I can chase my SHSU Bearkats around on Saturdays for the next 2 1/2 months. WE’RE CURRENT NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!! GO KATS!

You all be safe.
