folks, it's Josh Stony Ridge farmer. Welcome back to another gorgeous day off the farm. We are headed to my local airport and I have got to show you guys the mess that we've got going on. So, if you don't follow the channel or you don't know what's gone on so far, I have started taking flying lessons and I bought in as a partner on an airplane and basically I own a fourth of this airplane. Every couple months, we all put our money together and take care of the plane, which is a cheap way to learn how to fly and probably the least expensive way to get into aviation. However, we did our annual this past year and as soon as we did our annual, a deer ran out in front of the airplane on the runway and really damaged the plane pretty bad. about $15 to $18,000 worth of damage. The plane has been in the shop ever since. And I'm talking about at least 3 months ago is when the plane went in the shop. It is in absolute shambles. And you guys need to see this. And I want your opinion. Should I get out of this partnership now or should we continue on? We're probably going to end up spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $30,000 more dollars on this airplane, which is about eight grand out of my pocket. I want you to see the plane. So, we're headed to the airport right now. We're going to get in the hanger. We're going to take a look. It is in a million pieces. There's You just got to see this.
