BRANDON LONG

We had a great season, spent a lot of time in the dunes and alternated from Glamis to Ocotillo Wells depending on timing. Season isn't over yet; I think we can squeeze a few more trips in before it's too hot. 

Had a lot of seat time on the buggies, and probably even more on the quads riding with the kids.

I thought you were a realtor!  Sorry !!!

 

Haha, Correction "Broker"! No one that actually sells homes wastes their time at open houses, joke amongst productive agents. Those are for newbies that can't afford a BBQ!

I have one that we can put your company Logo on the tank and use it at open houses !   This way/ in the words of Kosmo Kramer....."You just Write it Off !!"

 

What's an open house? lol...

I think Mike on here has had quite a few and may even have one for sale. He would be a great source. 

Those are really cool!

Looks cool! I like the little boat with the turbo. 

Sad, and too young. 

Great looking ride! I am sure it will sell quick. 

I have discussed this in depth with customers of mine and professional business coaches. 

It's easy to want to chase the dream of doing something you love versus something that makes sense. The younger generations are taking this to the next level and deciding not to work if they don't love it or electing to barely work because they want to love it. 

I have come to the realization after being in my business for 20+ years that I do not have to love what I do but I absolutely love what my work allows me to do. 

Thats my two cents!

Is it sound by chance of the larger engine? If the larger displacement or sound is scaring him maybe a quiet stock pipe could be a solution. 

Oh, COME ON!!!! I need you to continue doing what you are doing. 

You're going to hate it, just stick to what you have been doing 

We have a little one at the moment with a 12K estimate. 

Just had an escrow close on a condo. Wall heater didn't work, so we needed a rush replacement.

One HVAC wanted 500 upfront to even show up before giving pricing.

One company quoted 7K for a wall heater replacement. The poor owner was about to hand over her credit card. Called me and I said absolutely not.

1300 dollars later the new heater was installed. 

People have learned that can take advantage of people. A lot of homeowners were improving homes on "easy equity" and didn't mind overpaying. 

RIP, nice guy and always great to talk too. Very sad news.

Trailer looks great. The mini split is awesome. 

Pumpkin carving party with the kids, Pizza, and a fun golf cart ride around the neighborhood following the kids. Always a great time. Seemed pretty crowded this year. 

Extreme roofing, desert river guy too. 

I've had quite a few trailers built and this one is by far my favorite. Couple specifics that I really like are the following:

- Cabinets up front and passenger side so I do not hit my head.

- 12V & 110 lighting.

- I have entry doors on both sides. Its super convenient for loading and unloading at the house and nice when camping to open it up. 

- Oversized axles with (two) spare tires. We have all had that feeling when you're on your spare and now think about not having another. 

- Couch for hanging out on those windy days but if you're driving over your fenders that may not work out. 

- Tie downs, tie downs, tie downs. Install more than you think. 

I have heard Sport has been in and out of the scene but cannot confirm. I would probably lean towards New Trend or Universal. 

There was a nice trailer at the SSSS this year that was about 12K new. Seemed like a good deal to me walking past it. 

Great store and great guys. In a bit of a lease battle the past few years. Hopefully they can hang in there. I go to them for my odds and ends needed.

That sucks to hear they did that to your family. Was there an apology?

No apology, and they were pretty rude indeed. I said a few words under my breath but didn't need to cause a scene. Yearly we buy gloves, shirts, or goggles there but definitely will not be back to their booth in the future.  

Ok rant over haha..

Took the family to see this. Very good & powerful movie. I'd encourage everyone to watch it. 

Weddle was there, they had a pretty cool Manx!

Tires seemed very available, Funcos looked great, and the new SCU looked really nice. 

Trucks doing the burnouts on the asphalt was fun to watch.

I noticed a lot less "swag" this year but all in all it was a nice show.

* Minus the "strip search" from Berts Megamall gear and apparel booth. Apparently, my kids, wife, and myself look like we deserved to have our bags gone through upon exiting lol. 

That was a first from them, and definitely will avoid that booth in the future. 

Looks really cool! Nice job. 

Simple rule, if it goes through you then it's safe. Also, no wings or strings. 

We had just returned back from Maui and heard the news. Seems most of the places we were hanging around at have burned down. It will take a long time for them to rebuild, and I doubt they will be able to maintain that "old village" feel. I am sure new building codes will change it up a bit too.
