Default Merry Christmas from John Chesnut

Hello everyone, It's been along time since I've logged on. I moved from my long time New Hampshire home and nice shop, into my retirement home in the Adirondacks of New York. As some of you know I had to quit, or at least, take a break from the car business because of health reasons. I am dealing with those, but can hardly walk at this point.
Congress has also tried to kill my main business, which is making childrens coin banks, www.bigbellybanks.com. Along with the economic slow down they passed new regulations that cost me about $180,000 every 15 months!!
They will kill off all remaining US manufacturing with their good intended, but misguided laws.
I have only been able to drive my Cobra a few times this year. The last time was a week ago in a light snow with out the top on. I had to stop for gloves and a hat to make it home. But, it was worth it. It is put away for the winter now and I am looking forward to spring.
I have about a weeks worth of work left to have my new Dragon on the road. I hope to have this done over the winter.
I wish you all a blessed Christmas and New Year. Now that the move is complete and the holiday selling season is over, I hope to be on the forum more.
John
