That said there is a lot to do and being away from the farm for a week means I got to have things exactly the way I want them before we get out of Dodge on Wednesday.  TSP will return on Thursday the 10th.

In 1997, with one business partner, Phil Williams started and grew a mostly residential landscape construction and maintenance company from $0-$5 million plus in revenue in 8 years.
