I'm not sure there's anyone that has done more for any community service organizations than tire right out, Ty, welcome to the team. Glad
Speaker 3:To be here, been in the space a one time and forgot how, uh, just completely awesome that it is.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you. Thank you so much, Todd. We're going to start, like we start every podcast tie right out. Who are you?
Speaker 3:Well, um, since you asked, uh, gosh, I guess I would start by saying a dad of a three. I've got a nine year old, a 12 year old and a 15 year old. So teaching the a 15 year old, uh, to drive teaching the 12 year old, just to, you know, try to have good, good manners. And, uh, I'm not sure. I think the nine-year-old is teaching me, uh, definitely is teaching me patience. He's a autistic, uh, high functioning, autistic, and, uh, has been a joy, uh, of my life to raise, uh, him and all three kids, but just really interesting raising an autistic child, um, because you do truly learn more from them than, you know, you think that you might go into it. So I'm Allergan. So my wife's lastly, a, uh, small business owner, always more or less been self-employed since a teenager, I've had a few different businesses, uh, but last 20 years, one business that I've ran consistently has been Abbott promotion. So, uh, we provide marketing, uh, products and services do a whole lot on a local level, but fortunate enough to have a diverse customer base of fortune 500 companies along with mom and pops. And we like working with people that we like, you know, so it works well for us. Uh, also, uh, love real estate. And of course my wife, Leslie, if I hadn't mentioned her, enjoy working with nonprofits have, have not done as much the last, you know, five or six or seven years, just kind of focusing on raising the kids more, but, you know, I'm an HCC grad lesbian on the HCC board is involved with the Santa for center. My sister was a, uh, Santa for center employee for a long, long time. So those are, those are two of the things that I, that I, that I keep on keeping on with. And, uh, and so I guess, I guess that's, I guess that's tad,
Speaker 2:That's Ty indeed, to me, you will always be Mr. Entrepreneur, the small business owner. I think you just embody that and you have an incredible business. You're very humble about that, but, uh, you know, as well as I do and everybody else that does business with you, you do an amazing job and we're lucky to have you here. What is the street address where as you're building, uh, we're
Speaker 3:At three 22 second street and cover that a little bit more, you know, as far as you say that you always think of me as entrepreneur or small business owner or what have you, you know, it's kind of crazy because I can't imagine doing anything else. The, I always joked that, you know, self-employed is a syllable white syllable away from unemployed, but I mean, the reality is, uh, you know, if you love it, then you know, it doesn't matter if it's 70 hours a week. I mean, you love it. And luckily I love it just as much today as I did 20 years ago. So very blessed in that regard. So
Speaker 2:Indeed, indeed. So, you know, w how many boards have you been on in your career? Do you have any idea? Is it a dozen, probably
Speaker 3:A dozen or so the, uh, you know, you and I met through the chamber board and absolutely loved being on the chamber board. I, I'm not sure how long you sat on there, but I'm thinking I was on there four or five, six, seven years maybe, and loved every minute of it and made a ton of friends. Some of them are mutual friends of course. Uh, and so absolutely love that, you know, been on the United way board. And that was nice to kind of get, uh, overview of the nonprofits in town. So, yeah, so several, and, and, and I always enjoy board that works well. That's not too big, not too small. And that, uh, uses their time for, you know, the mission it's, uh, uh, when it works, right. It's, uh, it's a pretty powerful tool for change.
Speaker 2:You, uh, you have to know what you're getting involved in. You have to have an organization that has a worthy mission and has worthy leadership, or at least the potential for that, uh, before you get involved in, uh, in an organization
Speaker 3:Like that. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you know, when you commit your time, it's, uh, I I'd say the older that I get the, I always joke that I practice saying no in the mirror, uh, before I go to work, uh, because it is easy, you know, when, when, when you do love your hometown and you do, uh, see, uh, some nonprofits that are effecting change, you know, you want to say yes all the time, but, you know, you can obviously end up burnt out or you can be that board member that does not do a good job by not showing up. And, you know, and you don't want to be that guy. I don't want to be that guy. You might want to be that guy. I don't know, but I don't, I don't want to be that guy.
Speaker 2:I actually have been that guy for the last year. I feel terrible about that. And so, um, we've recently recorded a podcast with my very good friends, Susan Sauls, and Susan's executive director of the volunteering information center. And I've been on that board for several years now. And I let her know that, gosh, you know, since my job has changed, I just don't have the time and the ability to get to those board meetings and to do the research that I need to do. So I'm stepping down. It's just, it's not something I want to do, but it's not fair to the Vic. And it's not fair to any other board members that are there working hard for me not to be there. So yeah, you gotta, you gotta be involved and engaged. Right?
Speaker 3:Absolutely. And it's a responsible thing to do of course, to, to, to do that if, if you need to, but yeah, you, you want a board that's, uh, engaged, you want a board that has the mission in mind, and then, you know, the makeup of a board as you know, can be important. You need, you need diversity as far as, uh, youth, uh, color background, et cetera, you know, boards that aren't diverse usually ended up, uh, you know, they're not as nearly as effective as what they could be, so,
Speaker 2:Right, right. So, you know, you're one of those board members that, uh, everybody wants because you're logical, you, uh, are prepared. You spend the time, you have, uh, the perfect amount, in my opinion, the perfect amount of input you listen, you're an active listener, but then when something needs to be said, you'll say it. And you're not just going to go along with, uh, what's presented to the board, uh, for a vote. If you think there's questions to be asked you, ask those, and I've always appreciated that about you. Uh, and, uh, you know, I don't, I don't know how to, uh, uh, to say that is intended to be praise and not anything else. You know, I kind of want to be tired when I grow up is what I'm trying to say. All right.
Speaker 3:Well, you know, w w when you're talking about like, uh, speaking out, or what have you, in a board meeting when appropriate, you know, one, one of our mutual friends who I won't name on, on the air here, but, you know, I consider him a mentor of sorts and, you know, his probably biggest quality is candor, you know, and, and, you know, and that's, you know, I think in a board meeting, uh, or a nonprofit, you have to have some candor, uh, you know, if everybody's hindered by, uh, what they think of their employer might think, or some other organization might think, or, you know, what their neighbor might think, then, you know, they don't, they don't ask the right questions. And, you know, I'm not saying I'm uninhibited, but, you know, uh, yeah. CA CA candor's a, uh, an asset.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So where did you learn how to be a board member? Was this just something that grew out of experience, or did you apply some sort of management philosophy to this?
Speaker 3:That's a good question. Honestly, I'm not positive, but I'm thinking probably one of the first boards I sat on 20 years ago probably was Matthew 25, uh, eight services board. Uh, we both know how powerful of a force of nature that Cindy, uh, Burton is. And, you know, so it's hard to say no
Speaker 2:Pound for pound, one of the most exceptional people I've ever met. She's fantastic. Absolutely.
Speaker 3:So, uh, you know, I, I, to answer your question, I guess, you know, learn by doing, I guess, you know, the, uh, uh, you know, picking up business classes of course helps a little bit as far as, you know, actual logistics of management of an organization, but, you know, I guess, uh, just, you know, being on a board and, and seeing when other people, uh, do things, uh, right. And modeling there, I guess I'm, I'm not positive, but, but I guess it goes back to not being scared to ask, uh, questions, uh, even, even if they're uncomfortable sometimes. Cause cause honestly, you know, as a board member, you know, I always say that the, uh, you know, being on a board is easy. Uh, as long as the money's good and things are going fine, it's when you know, everything hits the fan, that's when you really prove your worth. When there's a crisis of some sort, whether it's monetary, a staff issue, uh, some sort of a logistics issue, you know, that's, that's when you really prove your, prove your worth by, by coming up with a steady plan. And a lot of times it's a matter as, you know, uh, being willing to pick the worst or the best rather of two bad choices, you know, I mean, not to sound Santa or, uh, pessimistic, but a lot of times that's what it is. You've got two choices and, or maybe three and none of them you want to choose, but as a board member, you know what, you got pick one of them. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You gotta go, you gotta figure out what the best thing to do is even if they're all lousy. Yup. And now one of these days I'm going to be on one of those boards that has plenty of money. I haven't seen that yet, but one of these days it's going to have it's,
Speaker 3:Uh, you know, it's almost, it's almost, uh, I have been on board that, you know, seemingly flush, uh, I mean everything's relative, but you know, it's easy to get lacks in multiple ways. If you are flesh, you know, it's, uh, uh, you don't want to let your guard down from, uh, uh, uh, from management standpoint, uh, either way. Uh, and I'm a big fan, you know, I, I like the idea of discussion. I like that idea of fully fleshing out a topic, making sure everybody has their say, making sure everybody has input, et cetera. But at the end of the day, you know, I'm not a big fan of group think, and I'm not a big fan of consensus in the sense of, you know, it's nice if there's five of us and we can agree on the proper way to go about it, but I'm a big fan too, of, you know, if five of us talk it out and we all have understand the situation and we all have our opinion, uh, at some point you vote and those five get behind that, uh, decision and yeah,
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the decision is if, I didn't know when the point, okay, I'm fully on board and let's, uh, let's support this as much as possible. That's that fiscal responsibility that's discussed, you know, usually at the annual meeting, but you gotta have it, you know, what's got, gotta be there. You've got to be loyal to the organization if you're going to serve it. Yup, absolutely. I think, uh, I think it was Hamilton. And now that we're Kurt Hamilton, uh, we were talking about how, when we met, we almost never agreed. We were on the, uh, government affairs committee together, um, the chamber. And, uh, it took us a long time to find something that we both agreed on. Uh, but what we loved was we could disagree respectfully and we liked each other enough to where, um, and it doesn't really matter if you like somebody or not, as long as you can respect their time and their opinion, and they respect yours. You can pretty much work through anything. You'll win some points, you'll lose some points, but at the end, the organization should be better for it, for having the discussion. Right. Absolutely.
Speaker 3:And as you know, uh, our, our frame cart, you know, candor's, uh, uh, value of his too. So that's why I love, I love working with people, uh,
Speaker 2:That might give his opinion every once in a while.
Speaker 3:He might not. And I love that you need it, you need it doggone
Speaker 2:It. I hate it when his ride all the time. So let's talk about some of the, the, uh, things that you do. I want to go back to Abba for a little bit, because you have some amazing products. Uh, now you probably, uh, produce more political yard signs than anybody I have ever seen in my life. Uh, but that's a good thing. So you have printed material, you have clothing options. What else do you do?
Speaker 3:I mean, on, on local campaigns and, uh, you know, you know, we do kind of full kind of consulting on them. So, you know, we, we, we try to work with clients to, to kind of plan, you know, marketing, planning and campaigning are kind of all the same word. And, you know, folks who, folks who don't have a marketing background, don't really realize that how important planning is. And I, and it, it sounds simple, but most everything about marketing done correctly is simple. Uh, and so usually when we, uh, humans, you know, uh, we fill it up when we make it complicated. So, but you know, that simplicity, you know, needs to be combined with planning proactive. You need to tell your money where to go, not, you know, uh, not reactively spend money. So, you know, at the very forefront of a campaign, you know, we like to get feedback other than, uh, just the candidates. We like to get feedback other than our own, because there might be a total blind spots you can miss about, uh, you know, the way that, uh, uh, the public perceives a potential candidate. So, uh, I forgot what the question is, but to, I guess, what else do we do, I guess, was your question related to, uh,
Speaker 2:Right. So you have other services, you have a hard copy services, and then you, do you have design and that sort of thing, w
Speaker 3:We do, we've got, uh, uh, two designers on staff, uh, installation person on staff, customer service and, uh, uh, business development, uh, fellow on staff. So, uh, but yeah, you know, it, it, it, it usually all starts with, you know, kind of talking out, uh, the message, you know, the objective, the timeframe, the budget, uh, those are all of, at the forefront of, uh, some of our projects and then, you know, diving into a design, how it's gonna, you know, visually end up and then, you know, kind of into the logistics, uh, of how it's all gonna happen. Uh, so
Speaker 2:Basically have a full service, uh, marketing piece there. Uh, it is Abba promotions as the name of your business. And so I know you're extremely successful. If somebody wants to reach out and do business with you, how would they best find you? Uh,
Speaker 3:Of course, you know, on the web or, you know, Facebook of course, or picking up the phone and call in and, uh, setting up a time to talk with either, uh, Alan, uh, Amber or myself. Uh, so it's, you know, w you know, for better or worse in today's world, as you know, there's so many channels, and it's a huge, huge challenge for marketers is, you know, how do you communicate effectively with your, uh, with your prospects or clients? Because we all do have so many channels of communication, and we all have preferred channels communication, but sometimes those change, sometimes those, uh, you know, your preferred method at 10:00 AM might be different than your preferred method, 10:00 PM. So I forgot the question again, but we do struggle sometimes, you know, as, as all businesses do, because, you know, we're, we're on, uh, you know, they're contacting in so many different ways, I guess.
Speaker 2:Well, we'll be sure to put some links in the show notes so that you can find Abbott promotions. I also want to talk to you a little bit about your real estate interests. Uh, you know, every once in a while, I'll see on Facebook that you have an apartment for rent or something, like, do you have commercial buildings or a single individual homes, or what do you have out? We do have a
Speaker 3:Few mixed use, uh, properties downtown, uh, and then, uh, course residential, single family, and then, uh, some, uh, apartment units. So, uh, but yeah, uh, love real estate. I love the idea of, uh, uh, you know, providing, uh, uh, a place that's, uh, you know, affordable, but still safe and, uh, reasonable, uh, living standard. So, uh, yeah, absolutely love, love
Speaker 2:Real estate. Every once in a while you have an opening for our downtown residents, which I love living downtown. I still live downtown, but I was, you know, in between first and second streets on main. And that was very cool. Other than parking on the Christmas parade day, it was pretty cool. That's a whole nother podcast that, uh, that we'll deal with in the future.
Speaker 3:If my lovely wife would let me I'd move downtown tomorrow, the, uh, I begged her to let me buy a building downtown trick out of apartment over, but, you know, sometimes, you know, she, she, she likes the, the, the house and the yard and so forth. So, but, you know, central park makes a great yard,
Speaker 2:Man. I've been there, lots of walks around downtown. All right. Very cool. So, um, you know, what is it about Henderson that is, so you could live anywhere in the United States and be a successful businessman? Why are you here?
Speaker 3:Ah, you know, I guess, uh, you know, that idea that, you know, I think we live in a town that's safe relative to other places, you know, when you got kids, you think about that, we live in a town that has some culture in terms of, you know, uh, just, you know, we're part of Kentucky, which is kinda cool. A lot of culture there, amazing festivals, right? Uh, may, you know, our events, I would say relative to the size of our city are second to none. Right. Uh, so, uh, and then I know, uh, overheard you and Susan in a podcast earlier talking about how benevolent that hinder Sony ones are, and, you know, and maybe they're, maybe they're that way somewhere else too. I don't know, because I've not lived anywhere else.
Speaker 2:A lot of places I've never lived in a town that is as charitable and benevolent as Henderson, Kentucky.
Speaker 3:It's amazing. I've worked on multiple capital campaigns, uh, here in town now. And at least two of them, I was just flabbergasted how quick we were able to reach our, our goal. Uh, and you know, I, I don't know what you attribute that to. I don't know whether we're a small enough town that, you know, people know each other and people care about each other. I'm not sure. Uh, but yeah, I don't know if I answer your question.
Speaker 2:I also think people can see the results, right. Then they see that their money is helping people
Speaker 3:Never thought about it that way, but right. Absolutely. Uh, absolutely. I mean, you and I both can point to organizations there, or, you know, causes where people have raised money and, and, and we, we actually saw what happened, right? Oh, that is kinda huge. Uh, and I guess that may not happen as much, uh, in a, in a, in a bigger town. So,
Speaker 2:So, you know, one of the things I love about Henderson is you have this incredible array of arts. You have exceptional assets, uh, if you want to be the outdoor adventurous activity, you know, if you want to, if you want to bike or run or a walk, we have a lot of walkers, especially on main street. Uh, but you can do all of those things. We have amazing trails at Audubon fart. So there's everything to do here that you can do in a small town, but you're only two hours away from Nashville. You're two hours away from Lowville and three hours away from either, I guess, Cincinnati or, uh, St. Louis. I'd love to go to a car team every once in a while. It's just one of those perfect places to live for me. I don't know if you feel the same.
Speaker 3:Uh, I do feel the same. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Speaker 2:So what's next for you? What's going on in your world these days? You got any, uh, any community service organization, uh, things going on you're part of any, uh, planning events,
Speaker 3:Uh, well, got a campaign or two in the future, thinking about helping on and, uh, as far as community service, I mean, honestly, just trying to do a good job as a, uh, uh, you know, just to being a steady, steady board member on, on the Santa for center, uh, and the college. So just trying to try and do a good job, uh, being a board member there
Speaker 2:About the Sandra for center. Sure. Absolutely. Tell folks, what does the sander or do
Speaker 3:Absolutely. It, it, if you don't care, I'll kind of start by telling him about my, uh, sister, my sister, Susan passed away. Uh, I have terrible sense of time, but I'm thinking about a year and a half. Uh, but you know, she, she was disabled, uh, and, uh, had a lot of different, uh, challenges, I guess. And, you know, for many, many years, she was, uh, uh, very, very, very happy and proud to work at Santa for center. I remember as a kid, uh, going with mom to pick her up at the, uh, Sanford center, which is on south main and, you know, she would be so excited to have earned her paycheck and it might be$15. It might've been$35, but I had purpose. She had purpose. So when she woke up in the morning, she's just like Brent bridges. She had somewhere, she had to go. She had people that needed her people that, you know, were counting on her to do her job. Uh, so, and without the Sanford center, I don't know if she would have had an opportunity to have that sense of purpose. So, uh, as you know, Sanford centers had a rough way at different times with, throughout its, I guess, 50 year history. I'm not positive in 50 years. I may be wrong on that, but I think that's correct, you know, a lot different, a lot of different challenges. Uh, but you know, to me, the one thing that kind of holds steady is the idea that, you know, we all wake up in the morning, we want to be needed. We want to be loved. We want to have purpose. We want to have something to do. We want people to count on us. Uh, and to me, that's what, you know, the Sanford center offers, uh, folks with challenges that, you know, you and I may be lucky, not enough not to have. So, uh, I forgot the question again,
Speaker 2:What a blessing to have structure and purpose. I mean, to be, to be happy, you have to have that right.
Speaker 3:Without a doubt, without a doubt. Uh, and our friend Julie wisher will tell you that, you know, I think she'll tell you something to the effect of it's the only job she's had where, you know, she gets hugs every day. I mean, you know, uh, a lot of folks with, uh, uh, challenges or disabilities, I mean that they are some of the most Candace folks, uh, and just fun to be around. Uh, and yeah, so,
Speaker 2:So what does the Santa for center need these days?
Speaker 3:Uh, I mean, obviously we'd like to build our, uh, we'd like to build our revenue streams to be, uh, you know, and I'm looking at it obviously as a manager, as a business person, but, you know, any organization needs multiple revenue streams to survive crises and every organization's going to have crises. It's a matter of when and how many and how hard they are. So, you know, you can never have, uh, you know, too many different revenue streams, at least four or five steady revenue streams or our, you know, our would argue important, uh, to survive, you know, uh, different adversities. So, you know, to answer your question, uh, well, I guess we need, uh, even more local awareness of local companies that might, can, uh, do business with the Santa for center. Uh, we need folks to know that, uh, you know, Sanford center is a phone call, white, if things are confusing in terms of what the person they care about may have, you know, some sort of, uh, may have some sort of, uh, government income that could be used for services at Santa for center. Some of those things that kind of technical well above my level of knowledge, but, uh, you know, so I, I guess to answer your question awareness in the community of how Santa for center can help, uh, uh, both, uh, those with disabilities, but also how Sanford center can help, uh, local companies.
Speaker 2:So is there a direct funding from the public to the Sandra for center? Well,
Speaker 3:Um, we certainly have, uh, some individual contributions, of course, uh, not, not a significant revenue source, but it's, you know, it's something that, you know, uh, I'll tell you this, that families that have been affected positively by the Sanford center who have means certainly, you know, they, they see, they see the value in what the Sanford center does and certainly have been generous. Uh, so, and then obviously we, uh, have a lot of Medicaid income, uh, and then we have, you know, production revenue, you know, as you know this last year. Well, you know, we've been in a state of change, I guess for quite some time, uh, a significant change, uh, where we downsize from a, uh, a large building that we sold to the city and moved out on market street. I would, I would argue that we right sized the organization, uh, do use managerial speak, uh, you know, we certainly right sized and Julia has done an incredible job of, uh, helping us through that process.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So we'll put a link to the Santa for center so that you can learn more about this organization and if you're in an, uh, an employer or an organization that could help, who would be interested in giving purpose and structure to someone who could use it, could need it reach out to Julie and the Sandra for center. And we would certainly appreciate that. And so would the individual served
Speaker 3:For that one little bay store here? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. You know, I think a lot of people, I think a lot of times we make assumptions about other's capabilities and, and really, you know, you probably shouldn't do that unless you really know, you know, and I'll give an example, uh, you know, w the Santa for center has a large clients like hunter Douglas, and then, uh, also local clients, like have been kind enough to work with us for a long period of time. And I guess my point is these aren't companies that are going to, uh, accept subpar work. I mean, they're not companies that are going to be okay with mediocrity. Uh, so my point in saying that is, you know, a lot of times we would look at somebody with challenges and say, well, there's no way that, you know, so-and-so could perform that sort of quality, uh, uh, check on this type of engineered piece of equipment. But the reality is a lot of times they're more capable than what you might think. Uh, they just need things broken down in different ways. So you might have a, uh, four jigs set up to where, you know, they're testing the size in these different jigs or, or as an example. Um, you know, if a job is, you know, if you've got John Jack and Sally and Sally struggles with dexterity in her hands, and, uh, you know, they might each have their own challenges, but if you break that job down three different ways, and there's three different people, there's a good chance that they can use their own abilities and perform a function of that job. And at the, at the end of the job it's done, uh, to hunter Douglas standards or whatever. Yeah. I don't know if I'm making sense with
Speaker 2:That's a very good point. Thank you for sharing that I would have not considered that had you not brought that
Speaker 3:It's, it's, it's, it's pretty impressive. And, and, and, and we shouldn't make us, we should not make assumptions about what others can do, because sometimes we don't know until we see it
Speaker 2:Last lately. Very good. What are you in the boys going to do this summer?
Speaker 3:Uh, anxiously awaiting, you know, getting out on the water to, uh, uh, float around a little bit. So we'll, we'll, we'll do a little bit of, you know, tubing or whatever, down at the lake. And, uh, and then of course we'll do, uh, we always, uh, camp, uh, so until it gets too hot, so, uh, no, no big plans. Other than that, not my, my go rafting. Uh, uh, so maybe take a little hiking trips.
Speaker 2:I like it. That sounds great. Now you're a Barkley guy or Kentucky. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Go, go like Barkley the, uh, usually, uh, like go out on the river some and, uh, like Barkley too. So yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, we're on Barclay. We're at Catava. So you have to stop by bring the, bring the guys by. And I know Jim would love to see all of them. Uh, the, the lake has been, uh, up a little bit, so we can actually get the boat out and move around without worrying about, you know, running over a church steeple or anything like that. So, uh, I'm so happy that the boating city season is back. Absolutely. Now, do you fish, are you just a full boar dragging kids around?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah. I mean, I, I, I bought a fishing boat maybe 10 years ago and I thought, well, I'll teach my kids to fish, you know? And not that I'm much of a fishermen because I really don't have patience to do it, but I thought, well, this be fun. Uh, so I bought a fishing boat and it had big engine on it. Well, you know, the end of the day, all they wanted to do is ride the bus.
Speaker 2:Right? Yeah. There you go. Go fast. So I was like kids.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Even if I was a fishermen there, there was no fishing on that fishing boat. So after a while, I'm like, eh, let's go back to run them out and be done.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I'll tell you, well, you may have to, you may have to be a guest on a, uh, lake life kind of a episode for the podcast, because I think there's is great, um, set of topics that we can discuss, like where to go eat on the lake, because there are so many cool places. And of course we have Hubie is just up the hill from our boat, but we'd love to, to, to, along over to, uh, uh, Eddy Creek, they have some fantastic salt wanes, and then we all tool over to the other side and go to Morris for breakfast. And you just never know. Or if we're going to go, you can tell, I talk about food a lot. I know there's more than food at the lake brand. Get on, you know, go on with life. But, uh, yeah, so fantastic. So you're going to be on the water. You're going to go camping. So do you have your own camper or do you go to like the camp sites?
Speaker 3:We can't do. We can't do it all. So we, you know, we got, we got a little place at the lake, but we like to camp at the lake too, over at, uh, across from, uh, um, uh, uh, Prizer point. Uh, sure. The, I'm trying to think of the name of the campground, uh, hurricane, uh, I can't think of the name of it now, but we look it's little spot. We'd love to tent camp there. Uh, and then we've got a, uh, kind of like a hunting, uh, kind of a cabin and pool Kentucky. So we, we, we camp there all the time. Cause it's all, it's convenient.

I don't know, far more than what anyone could expect.
Speaker 3:I do absolutely nothing that I don't thoroughly enjoy. So it's, uh, it's been, uh, uh, I've been very blessed to be able to, uh, help with stuff because I love it and I'm able to make the, the, the time and can afford the time to do it. So absolutely absolutely love it.
