Our 10th Anniversary at the restaurant was another success! We spent a ton of money on our 'spare' barn to turn it into a wedding facility. And, after 7.5 months of storage my baby gets a wash tomorrow, and then off to Sedona and the mountain twisties.

We had two of the sides of the house, including the front, sanded and re-stained last spring. Looks great.

Our view from second story deck.

Here's the 'final' outside shots of the restored white barn. Our restaurant is in the background, firing up the oven. And to the left is a 100 year old restored grain bin, which now houses our antique shop.

After all that expense, and no money left over, decided to 'keep' the leftover beer instead of sending it back. Nice.

Can't wait for the first track day of many this winter!

Great views!
So you go back to Arizona.

Small question, do you also have a spare car overthere which needs to be transported in the early summer to Wisconsin?
In that case send me a message, maybe we can arrange someting

I guess I've been away from this website for a little too long - you bought a 944 Turbo? Did you sell the 911?

The farm is looking great, btw. I wish I had time this past summer to make a trip up there and have some of your amazing pizza! Now I guess I'll have to wait until next year...

On another note I may or may not be getting a job in Phoenix, so I might be moving a little closer to you!

Thanks, the white barn was a lot of work, even though we hired out most of it. And, we added on to the right side of the Stone Barn. Doubled the kitchen space, and added two more bathrooms.

I sold the 911 a year ago, to a gentleman from LA. He ripped out the entire blue interior, and replaced it with white on black cloth door panels, and seat panels. Black dash, carpet, etc. Which is what the car needed and a myriad number of oil leaks needed attention. All I didn't want to do. The 944 turbo I bought is in great condition, after replacing all the vacuum hoses, and the cycling valve, it's done.

If you get the Phoenix job, are you bringing down the 924 cars? Or buying something more practical that has something like, oh, air conditioning?
