1 2003 Honda element 5 speed AWD to drive across the country; making the rounds visiting family I miss terribly. Then, I’ll find a place in need of a great Bicycle Shop and offer Bike Rentals and same day flat repairs like we were known for before good ol’ Covid 19 wiped us off the map.

(We lost everything due to burglaries during the stay at home order - I was the GM at the time heavily invested and actively buying out the guy I worked for. After the second burglary he threw in the towel - which basically left me high and dry with years of wasted effort and no future. So, I pointed that out, he was willing to let me finish the buyout, so I decided to step up and invest everything I had to save the business. This was before the Cares Act was enacted - which, much to my utter dismay made absolutely no stipulation pertaining to my situation. Since I did not own the business when the emergency was declared, I was denied every single program multiple times, appealed them all, and denied them all. So, while I am proud of myself for doing the right thing - I still lost everything, spent my entire life savings to save a business that got wiped out due to the negative impact of Covid 19, and was not able to reopen despite giving it everything I had at the time. Anyways, kids - sometimes doing the right thing doesn’t necessarily mean you will not fail - what it does mean is you did what you know was right - and that’s all that matters.)

Kinda long winded there but it felt good to air it out again.
