      Ryan you can’t imagine how much that must mean to your Dad to have to there and helping him. Don’t worry about whether we like the video or not. Go have fun with your Dad and just film it. We will like it. You must know that there is a reason we all watch. I don’t know what it is Hahaha but I never miss a video.

      Did Billy see the statue of Christ you found at the brocante? It would look amazing hung on the wall opposite where the gallery was (at the far end I think). There is an area there that looks like it was made for it.

    • @1947bonanza
      @1947bonanza Před rokem +11

      The A400M was developed as a replacement for the C-130 starting in about 2003, but thru delays and cost overruns not flown until 2008 and finally delivered into the French Air Force in 2013. It fills a niche between the C-130 and the C-17, and yes it has props. It can carry more than the 130 and still use unimproved landing strips. France, Germany, the UK, Spain, and another dozen or so countries have taken delivery so far. The anhedral wings, T-shaped tail and larger size differ it from the C-130.

    Your Dad is absolutely correct about number three - overspending. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what expenditures will give you the best returns. There are some things that need to be done immediately but there are other things that are not essential and will not necessarily be the best investment for starting up the business.

    With your Dad's health now a chipper is definitely needed so everything that isn't being kept for burning on the log fire can be chipped where it's cut and used to maintain the paths, it would take so much work and worry off of your Dad.
    Bless your Dad for being in the videos, it is lovely to see him and hear his wise words from experience in setting up a business in France, I hope he is feeling much better and I hope your mum is doing well as well xxx

      Yes, a chipper would be a God send for this dear gentleman. As large a one as you could afford and he could chip the prunings as he goes. That way there is not so much at one time. It would be great also if it could be directed to blow the chips directly in the cart> That would save handling it yet again.

    Wonderful advice and energy from Glenn. I would say that "challenges" has a more positive spin to it than "struggles." Interesting that he said to buy new (sound advice) but his first instinct is to do what he can himself to keep his mower maintained. So there's a good balance there of cost saving and equipment maintenance. The man knows!
    Have you ever filmed a tour of the guest accommodation? That would be fun to see. Its a charming building. Glad to hear you spotted the billy goat. Cheers from the US!

    Much going on behind the curtain so to speak--how exciting to have the planes come over. Your Dad is a treasure. Listen closely to his words

    Run an ad for your parents business. You might get a few clients!

    Loved the vlog and can't help but think how a picture of the lake and trees would make an amazing picture puzzle during all the seasons.

    The fly pass looked like an air exercise. Your dad gave great advice from his experience. Great job on clearing the twigs.

    Where I live we see planes do that frequently because we live near a heritage war museum with old bombers and other planes they take out frequently to keep them maintained. We also live near Toronto that holds air shows and we are in the area they do turn arounds. It is cool to see them fly low. It was a good idea to talk about business because I know there are many who are starting up tourist businesses and need to hear what your Dad shared.

    Just love your dad! His outlook on life is wonderful and he seems like can be quite the cheeky bloke. 😁
