im not trying to be a "hard case" because i have money. i dont see myself as a "hard case" at all, while others may, and i dont see myself as "having money" or being even close to "rich" or "wealthy" (although right now im waiting on a check for over a million bucks on lawsuit settlement,i might have a few bucks then.) ive ridden with 3 piece patch clubs alot of my life, and for awhile was the president of a well respected organization in shasta county. ive slept in the dirt on the side of the road in the desert, and under a few bridges on the road i might add.. nothing to do with being a hard case or money. ive worked god damn hard for everything ive got, LEGALLY i might add, nothing was ever handed to me . when i was growing up, we were damn lucky to have meat on the table and there were times that if someone didnt go out and kill something, we didnt even eat. if you work hard,keep shit right and in perspective and not do shit you know is wrong or illegal, things will go your way as people see that. worst thing ive ever done is get traffic tickets and speeding tickets (no , no DUIs, just drag racing)

my whole point in all of this whole thing is, before we can get the MMJ industry in line and respectible, the "illegal" aspect has to be removed from it, I.E. we cant have dispensaries operating under the radar illegally, or have ex-felons involved. why?...because even if they have turned their life around (like personified) , are working their asses off and being as honest as a priest (well, maybe not, ive seen some real dishonest priests) there still stuck with that jacket of being a convicted felon, and being in that position, there ALWAYS gonna be looked at in that light by the people who count.

and by the by, everything else aside, i WISH i had that BSA and that rat rod. you have the makings of a couple of sweethearts there. dont ever get rid of them, as even in the condition they are in, there value will skyrocket. if it were me, id take my time, strip both down to nothing and restore them both .

im heading down on tuesday to look at a restored 1970 factory hemi-cuda mopar a guy has for sale, and also a 1969 dodge charger. going tomorrow to look at 4 1.5 acre wooded lots in calpines for $1000 an acre. thinking large outdoor grow.
