presents Walter Brennan and Gigi Perot. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network and Cooperation with Family Theater presents Land of Sunshine starring Walter Brennan. To introduce the drama, here is your hostess, Gigi Perot. Dear Tony LaFranco, Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives if we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world. Family Theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. And now to our drama, Land of Sunshine, starring Mr. Walter Brennan as Simon and featuring Verna Felton as Sally. The sun's pretty warm today, Simon. Yeah. Same as it was yesterday. Nothing like the weather in St. Petersburg. You know, can't be it, Bill. Can't, uh, quiet it today. Yeah, real peaceful. Uh-oh. Here comes that chatterbox widow woman. Seems to me she could pick out some other bench on Central Avenue. Just don't pay no attention to her. No, can't be done. I'm getting. Well, no one's driving me off this pinch. Well, if you can stand hurry, I'm inside. It's up to you. See you later. So long. Good morning, Simon. Beautiful Florida weather. Mind if I sit down? You've been asking me that same question every day for two weeks. I'm very polite. And I've been giving you the same answer. This is a free country. Thank you. I will have a seat. Don't thank me. It's a public bench, you know. You're pretty grumpy this morning. Guess I got a right to be grumpy if I wanted. I brought my little pot of a radio with me. I ain't blind. Do you ever listen to tunes of the 20s? Nope. Oh, it really brings back memories. Turn that blasted blaring down, would you? Oh, I'm sorry. Thought it might be peasant. I'll turn it off.  Sally? Uh, Sally. I understand. I'm sorry. Really, I am. Oh, I've been kind of short-tempered lately. Still not feeling up to par? Just getting old, I'd say. Oh, now, Simon, don't even think that. Why not? Just a mess of aches and pains. Why don't you find yourself a small job? Haven't I been telling you I'm retired? Yes, I know. I suppose you've always been sickly. I never had a sick day in my life until a while back. Guess you wouldn't believe that until six months ago I ran a big farm up in Wisconsin. More than 500 acres. I always thought you looked competent. Of course, after my wife died three years ago it got kind of lonely rattling around in that big house. So you decided to retire and rest in the sun? Yeah. You know, that's exactly what happened to me. Same thing? Almost. After a few months down here I just started aching all over. Well, you don't look as old you're ailing now. Not now, but I didn't think I'd ever get well. Oh, I had terrible back pains. Right across the shoulder blade? Why, yes. And I felt tired all the time. You figure you just can't get out of bed in the morning? The more sleep I got the more tired I felt. That's it. Oh, my legs began to bother me. I had to hobble around on a cane. Well, what do you know? Get mine right here. Then I went to see this doctor and in a few weeks, oh, I was a new person. Don't believe in him. Never took a doctor's advice my whole life and I guess I'm too old to start now. Oh, I guess when a man's healthy he doesn't think of doctrine. What did he do for you? Who? The doctor. Oh, oh, I got him just in time. Felt like I was dying. Hmm. Too bad you don't believe in him. If you did, you might even visit my doctor. Don't go putting words in my mouth. If I want to see a doctor, I will. Well, if you insist. Of course I insist. What's his name? I'm not busy now. You might as well take you right over there with me.  I don't trust that Sally Crain. Well, that don't look to me like they're leaving together. Simon's walking away ahead of her. Oh, he's just trying to get away if you ask me. Look, she's caught up to him right now. Oh, it ain't fair, Bill. He's hobbling around on a cane. Don't matter, John. I win the bench. He got him off that bench with her. Okay, okay. Here's your quarter. Oh, well. It's a good thing Sally had you over here, Mr. Stone. Do you think I'll die, Doc? No, no. Whatever gave you that idea? Well, you've been writing on that paper for 10 minutes. Must be pretty serious. You'll be as good as ever. And what I'm writing is just your new diet. Boy, that's a relief. Your ailment is pretty common down here in St. Pete. Oh, you mean it's something like a cold? No, it's more than that. But nothing that can't be cured.  And then you'll have to operate? I've never known a case of needed in operation. For heaven's sake, Doctor. What have I got? A bad case of Neolitis. Neolitis? Why? Oh, that's terrible. And don't let the name scare you. I promise you'll be all right. Now here's your diet, and I want you to follow it exactly. Sure thing, Doc. You better will it. Holy smoke. Anything wrong? Oh, where in Tarnation am I going to get this stuff? Duck, beguarade, halibut souffle with almond sauce, artichoke bottoms, chicken tetrazini, Welsh rabbit, rink-tum-diddy, hasn't perfeffer. I never even heard of them myself. Well, that is a problem. Why can't I eat some good old American food like ham and egg? See, and I can build myself up on steaks just as well. Are you going to take my advice or aren't you? Well, it is no cook and the whole steak can pronounce half of these things. Let along cook them. You just wait one minute.  How is he, Doctor? He's got Neolitis, all right. A bad case of it. Oh, that's what I thought. He had all the symptoms. Well, that isn't half it. Take a look at this diet. Just look at it. Let's see, halibut souffle with almond sauce. Oh, I've got an idea. I can fix these meals for you. Would you do that, Sally? Oh, sure, I'd be glad to. No, nothing doing. I can take care of myself. Not that I don't appreciate you off of those. All right, if you still want those backaches and everything... Now, hold your horses, Doc. Maybe some pills would do the trick instead of all that fancy stuff. Are you going to do what I say? Don't worry, Doctor. I'll see to Simon eats just what you prescribed. We've heard the likes of it. All that fancy food, enough to make a body sick. Then it's settled. No, it's not. I can't just grub food off you. The doctor says I got to eat the Welsh rabbit rink. Tom diddy, I'll do it. But you've got to let me pay him away. Of course you can. As a matter of fact, there's something you can do for me that's very important. Yeah? What's that? Well, I've got a small orange grove and something terrible is wrong. The oranges are no bigger than walnuts. You look after my trees and I'll fix your meals. You're getting the better of the bargain, Sally. All right, you've got a deal, Sally. Shake. Now, if you'll excuse me. Oh, Doctor, could I see you alone a moment? Oh, yes, Sally. Anything wrong? Well, nothing serious. But, uh, would you excuse me, Simon? I'll see you outside. Sure thing. Yeah. Well, we put it over. You fell hook, lion and sinker. Frankly, Sally, I don't like this business. You could be right about him and you could be very wrong. Now, I thought you trusted my judgment. That's the only reason I agreed and it better turn out for the best. Give me two weeks. All right, Sally, two weeks. Heaven's sake, Sally, I'm no invalid. Well, I'm sort of responsible. Now, you just wait a minute, Mrs. Sally Crane. No one is responsible for me. I'm old enough to take care of myself. But the doctor... The doctor gave me a fancy diet. He didn't say nothing about settling around twiddling with thumbs. Well, all right. Look at that branch. The one you can't grow in orange worth a plug cent. Well, it looks healthy to me, Simon. That's the unhealthiest tree I've ever seen. Why, those... My trees have more leaves than any grove around. Sally, that's rich. Don't you know you've got to trim the dead stuff out? Is that why the fruits are small? Yeah, that's only one reason. But I've always watered them so carefully. A tree is like a man, Sally. Can't live on just water alone. You've got to feed them, too. Oh, that's the silliest thing I've ever heard of. Yeah, that's how much you know about it. Now, here's some dirt. Just take a look at that. Yeah? This is tree food.  Simon, you talk as if that tree were human. Trees are living, breathing things. You've got to feed them, pet them and take care of them. Just like you would babies.  Why shouldn't I talk about them as human beings? If it wasn't for them, there wouldn't be any human things. I know about trees, because that used to be a business with me. What do you suppose makes oxygen in the air? I don't know. Well, I'll tell you what. Trees, that's what. Leonardo da Vinci discovered that. Trees take the waste from the earth, take a meal out of it, and give you back oxygen to breathe. That's what the leaves are for. But if you want to get the good from them, you've got to take care of them. Yes, them? Treat them right, and they'll give you a whole lot of things. Food for your table, firewood to warm your house, and the very air you breathe. Simon, the way you talk about trees is simply wonderful. Yeah, and now if I could set up a lab someplace where I could figure out the things this here, poverty-stricken dirtier's needs. Well, you can fix it up on the sun porch. Oh, no, it'd make an awful mess. Oh, I don't mind at all. Well, all right. Well, you must make our list of the things you need. You tend your cooking, Sally. I'll take care of this end. All right, Simon. I'll let you know when lunch is ready. These women. Didn't know a tree had to eat. Oh, can't complain too much. Just a usual aches and pains, Bill. I've just seen Simon. Loaded down with garden supplies and headed this way. What's he been up to? Ain't been around for a week or more. That Sally Crane got her hooks into him. Oh, here he comes now. Oh, hi, Simon. Hi, Bill and John. Why don't you sit a while, Simon? Knock yourself out, run around, load it up that way. No bother me, none. Bind yourself out and screw? No, just help them Sally out. Sally? Uh, Mrs. Crane.  Oh, look here, Bill. Just what do you mean by that crack? No offense, Simon. She's a fine little woman. Might make a man a good wife. Yeah, well, don't you go jumping to no conclusions. Nothing to it at all. How's your back been lately? Well, it hasn't bothered me the last couple of days. Complete recovery, eh? Love, control, work, some big miracles. One more wise crack out of you and I'll show you whether I'm ailing or not. Now, hold on. I'm just asking after your health. Besides, you must be all right now. No sick man would be running all over town loaded down like a pack of mules. Yeah, well, that just goes to show you don't know what you're talking about.  Well, sorry to hear that, Simon. What's ailing you? Well, I've got, uh, Neolitis. What? Neolitis. It's a tough disease to beat. It can kill a man if you don't watch out. Oh, never heard of that before. Well, Doc Burr has spotted it right off. Has he gone to operate? I don't know yet. He's got to build me up first. That sounds reasonable. That's why I'm helping Sally. The diet he fixed up for me is a lulu. I don't know a restaurant in town that'd be able to serve those meals. Is that right? So Sally offered to do the cooking. I'm just paying her back. I'm not that sick that I can take charity and she won't take no money. Well, no matter how silly that widow Crane is, her brother is a mighty fine doctor. Yes, see, you better... her brother. What? Did she tell you? Oh, sure, sure. I knew. Well, Bill, I got to be going. See you around. So long, John. So long. See you, Simon. Hmm. Needleidus. Hmm. Maybe that's what they'll need, John. Could be. Go to ask my doctor about that.  I've got a real treat for you today. Yeah, and I've got something to say to you. A delicious bouillabaisse. Here. Just smell that. Mmm. Just smell good. What do you call it? Bouillabaisse. A French way of preparing fish. Hmm. Muddy appetizing. You sit right down now and start eating before it gets cool. Sally, I want a word with you first. Oh, sure, Simon. Oh, all these packages. Simon, what in the world did you buy?  Oh, you've got all those wonderful chemicals. My heaven, Sally, you're not paying no attention to me. Yes, I am.  That's right. Well, I declare... Oh, just look at all these things. Where did you pick up all that knowledge, Simon?  Oh, I know that. The minute I saw you, I said to myself, Sally, there's an intelligent man. Hmm. You can't always tell by looking. You're right. But I suppose part of it is a certain alertness. Mm-hmm. That's true. Now, uh, you were saying something about a liar? Well, uh... Oh, it's not important.  Well, it's just that... You know how some shopkeepers lie about their products? I just don't like it, that's all. Well, I want to tell you how much I appreciate you attending my grove. Those trees have really perked up in just a week. Well, there's no mystery about that. All the same. I'll have a nice crop of oranges this year. At least it could do. Oh, of course, I don't want you overworking.  I've been feeling fine since you started serving me these meals, and maybe now I'll be able to go off the diet, huh? Oh, no! Oh, no! I mean, Neolitis is dangerous. Sure is a funny disease. Could be the doc made a mistake. Oh, no, I'm sure he didn't. After all, you can't cure Neolitis in a week. You could have a relapse. Oh, and that'd be even worse. You've just got to follow the doctor's orders. Well, I suppose you're right. And Sally... Hmm? That's not too hard to do, you know. Do you mean that, Simon? Sure, I mean it. You certainly have a hand with meat and vegetables. Besides, I started to get a kick out of working in the grove. That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Sally... Yes? I got a confession to make. Now, Si.  What are you trying to say, Si? Well, when you first came around to that bench, I thought, by gosh... You know, I thought you were an awful pest. Oh, you did, my friend. I did, too. Of course, I've changed my mind. You really don't think so anymore? Why, not a bit of it. Matter of fact, I kind of like having you around.  Oh, now you've gone and spoiled what you said before. Don't be so thin-skinned, Sally. Can I even tease you a little? Simon, I don't know what to make of you sometime.  And you were. I thought you'd bite my head off. I didn't mean a word of it. Personally, I don't think it's good for people to live... Well, to be alone, do you? No, it depends. No, no. I mean, a man needs... A man needs a lot of things. That's it. But don't follow that he always gets what he wants. Sometimes, all he has to do is ask.  Maybe you and me could just... Yes. Someone's at the back door. Yeah, let him wait. Now, what were you saying? Must be that nitrate I ordered. But you are going to say something. You better answer the door, or if it's a nitrate, I want him to put the bags under the tree. I'll get to it this afternoon. I'm coming. Oh, drag those nitrates. That barbecue smells good. Should be ready in a few minutes, Doc. And, Sally, I saw Simon when I came in. He really looks fine. He sure did blossom out. I think it's time we told him the truth, Sally. Do we have to, Doc? Yes, Sally, the sooner the better. Well, all right. But don't you dare say one word until we get some of this barbecue inside of him. That's a deal. Take this handle, Doc. I'll go inside and call Simon. Okay. The barbecue's ready to serve him, Simon. I'll be ready as soon as I get this solution diluted. Mmm, that barbecue smells fine. Well, now, as you were... That's the front doorbell. Must be a pal bill. Will you just keep mixing this until I get back, Sally? Sure. I'm coming. Hold your horses. What's the matter, Bill? Your finger's stuck on the bell? Hello, sir. I didn't want to miss the barbecue. Come on in.  Come on out back. Hey, Si. Yeah? How's that terrible disease of yours coming along? Ha! I don't see that suffering from a serious ailment is funny. I was just wondering what kind of horrible operation would be necessary. Ha! Jay, have you gone crazy? No, no. Then what's this all about? Well, you might as well learn the bitter truth.  Ha! Heaven saves Bill. Bill! Come, come. You see, when you told me all about your symptoms, well, I figure I had the same thing. That isn't very funny. Well, so I dropped into my doctor. I told him about you and your neolitis. Keep talking. Well, at first he didn't know what on earth I was talking about. He was to put it mildly astonished. Well, he can't know everything. Then I sort of spelled it out for him, and... And what? Ha! I've never seen a man laugh so much before. That's a new one on me, says... What are you driving at, Bill? He told me that it comes from the Latin. You see, in Latin, N-I-H-I-L means nothing. So he figured out that you had a severe case of nothing-itis. Ha! Oh, no. And when I told him about that rich diet of special fancy dishes why the poor old doc couldn't talk for laughing, he just waved me out of his office very weakly. So that's it. The best game I ever heard of for a widow woman trying to trap a man. Well, we'll see about that. Well, where are you going, Si? Out to the barbeque. Come in here and bring dark birds with you. What's the matter? I'll tell you when you come inside. Oh, he sounded real upset. I think I can guess the reason. All right, you two. What's your little game? Calm down, Simon. Don't work yourself into a rage. I'll work myself into whatever I want to work myself into. What's got into you? Just a little information, that's all. I don't understand.  I've got a dangerous disease, have I? You're found out. Well, you're dang tooting a dead. I've got niolatus, have I? Well, I've got plenty of nothing. All right, what's your little game? Come on now and come clean. Sit down and I'll tell you. Don't try any monkey shines, either, doc, because all I know about you is... I know your Sally's brother and I knew it for some time. Oh, you didn't.  Oh, Simon, I never thought that. Listen to me, Simon. Maybe I made a mistake by not telling you the truth and maybe I didn't. But now you listen to what I've got to say. Well, it better be good. When you came to see me, you had a hundred aches and pains. You were dragging yourself around with a cane.  Now what's that got to do with it? Well, take a good look at yourself now. Have you got any pains? And where's your cane? Your cane? You don't need it now, do you? You had a real disease, as real as appendicitis. I just made up my own name for it because so many retired men suffer from the same thing here in St. Petersburg.  Of course I am. So long as a man is busy and interested in life, he's like a well-oiled machine. But when he stops working like he did, he just gets rusty, same as a machine. In why in tarnation didn't you tell me that? I tried to tell you to find some work, but just said you didn't intend lifting a finger, not after retiring. I tried to tell you that you'd feel better, but you only snorted. Sally told me you were as stubborn as a mule and probably wouldn't listen to advice unless you figured you had to. And from what I can see now, she was right. That's the whole story. Sure, Sally and I plotted to put one over on you.  All right, we did fool you, but for your own good, and we succeeded if you ask me, seems to me Sally has an apology coming to her. All right, Sally, I...  Oh, no, Simon. You tried to be an old curmudgeon, but I don't think you are, really. After all you did for me, too. Those wonderful meals, getting me interested in your orange grove, and I figured you were hatching up some awful plot. Oh, don't say that, Simon. You see, I have been plotting, and I have been sort of trying to get you to propose.  Hmm. I suspected that, too, for some time, Sally. You did? And you never said anything? Well, I tried to a couple of times. Tell me to stop wasting my time. No, Sally, to tell you the truth, I... that is to say, well... Yes, Si. Well, Sally, what I mean to say is, there comes a time in life when it does seem like a pretty good idea for a woman like you and a man like me to... Yes, Simon, yes. Oh, what I'm trying to ask you is... Yes. Maybe you and me, uh... Isn't that someone at the door? I don't hear anything. You don't? Not a thing. Sally, will you marry me? Yes, Si, I will. Thanks. Si, aren't you going to kiss me? Later, I'm expecting another shipment of chemicals, and I want to tell that fella that I'm knocking at the doorway to leave him. I'll hear again as your hostess, Gigi Perot. Thank you, Mr. LaFranco. Mr. Brannon. Oh, Mr. Brannon. Yes, Gigi, what can I do for you? I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your performance. It was certainly nice, and I think you're just wonderful. Well, that's mighty nice you to say that. You know, I think you're pretty nice yourself. Really? Sure do. Then would you help me with something? Uh-oh. I don't want too much sugar for nickel here. Oh, unless you don't want to help. Oh, I want to, all right. What can I do for you? Well, it's this. This is family theater, and tonight I'm the hostess, and I'm supposed to say something about family prayer. But there's so many things that should be said, I just can't make up my mind. Like a kid picking out penny candy, huh? Yes, I used to have that trouble when I was a little girl. Guess I just haven't outgrown it yet. Yeah, me too. I mean when I was a little boy. Let me see family prayer. I wanted to say something about how family prayer keeps the family together, and how much a family being together means to the children. Well, that seems like a pretty good thing to say. And I wanted to say how much God loves little children, and how He wants them to have their parents with them to see that they grow up all right. Well, that sounds pretty good too. And you might say how we all become as little children in the sight of God when we pray. That's a mighty good thing too, you know. Yes, I've already thought of that. Oh, you had. But I'm glad you said it because I might have forgotten. Thanks a lot. It's a pleasure to serve you. You know, Gigi, I think you can boil a whole thing down to just two lines. But I know which ones you mean. I bet you do at that. If I see the first one, Mr. Brennan, would you say the second one? I sure will. Ready? Ready. The family that prays together stays together.  From Hollywood, Family Theater has brought you Land of Sunshine, starring Walter Brennan and Gigi Perot as hostess.

Dear attention, please ladies and gentlemen Will you direct your attention down to the field once again and welcome Ken Singleton? To throw out today's ceremonial first pitch in honor of his retirement To his good friend and fellow broadcaster Michael K Lock in your retirement. There is a two-headed monster What a combination is Kenny gets it to the plate and then how about K with the scoop I talked to Michael earlier today, and I asked him did you bring a glove to the ball game? And he said no, I'm gonna have to borrow someone else's so the glove that he borrowed was obviously a golden glove nice Snagged by K behind the dish flash. You know what? I got to give Kenny Singleton a lot of props So he went out there with a sport coat on right? I would have taken that jacket off You could see if Michael K was in a more athletic position He could have caught that ball right in front of home plate He decided to go with the one knee down which we all know limits your range and your mobility back there I do give him credit though the pick which we've seen a lot of catchers go with this year He made the play it didn't look real confident doing it No, but you got to give him credit at the end of the day now He's got a dust off the right knee by the way of the suits and Kenny goes right to the top of the mound That's key is how cool is Kenny by the way He's got the aviator sunglasses on right to the top of the mound He obviously knows his way around a baseball field Bob You gave his resume and a wonderful Tribute by the Yankees to Kenny Allowing him to throw that pitch out today for the Yankee fans to recognize him Everyone is going to miss Kenny's commentary on the game Yeah, I really enjoyed seeing that resume right because we know Kenny as the human being and our friend But then you look at the baseball numbers and how great of a player He was a switch hitter with power in today's game You know I'm base guy it would have been so valuable So it's kind of cool that when you have a resume at the end of your career that has an amazing playing career And just as impressive in the booth and we get to know this guy and call him a friend That's pretty special and I love his story too Jack about the fact that you wouldn't think he'd be a Yankees announcer It was a long time Oriole and winning a world championship with them with George Steinbrenner knew He was a New York guy and had the Yankees best interest. It's a fantastic story And I'm glad that Kenny mentioned that when he was saying goodbye yesterday He's told all of us this story, but it's clear how important that was for him Well today we celebrate Kenny and all week long we've been celebrating the fact that Broadway is back for New York And that's a good thing and right now let's get it back to the stadium for the National Anthem


Hey, this is Brett and this 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor Crew Cab Short Box is stock number 14253Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Your new and used light-duty truck headquarters, this 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor comes with a 3.5 liter EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 engine, puts out 450 horsepower. It's paired up with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off per the state of Wisconsin inspection process and this truck is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside underneath. Start it up, take a look under the hood, show you all the options on the interior, and just give you the most accurate representation that I can of the truck. This thing is in really nice shape. Magnetic gray metallic is the color. I shoot all my videos in 4k. If you like the video, consider subscribing to the YouTube channel. Click the bell notifications. You'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day, as well as having access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle and light-duty truck walk-rounds on YouTube. This one comes with these 17-inch painted alloy wheels. That comes standard on the Raptor package. Also has BF Goodrich all-terrain TAK02 tires. These are LT31570R17s. These are also standard, what come on the Raptor, and they have right around 50 to 60% of the tread left on them. Frame and underbody is exceptionally clean on this truck. This is a one-owner clean title history, clean car facts from Florida. Front fenders absolutely perfect. LED headlamps, LED running lights. I'm going to turn all those lights on at the end of the video so you can see just how bright they are. Front bumper is absolutely perfect. I didn't see any dense dings, scuffs, scrapes, rock chips, or anything. Has the lights in the grille. You also get the front camera on there. The hood is in excellent shape as well. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. And the passenger side front fender, really nice condition too. Passenger side front wheel, no scuffs or scrapes. Magnetic gray, one of my favorite colors on the F-150s. Has a lot of metal flake in it. Looks really good. And as you go down this side of this 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor, just take note of how clean that body is, how reflective, and mirror like that paint is. I take these HD videos so if you're far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at or just make the decision to come take a look at the truck. And if this video helps you do either of those things, let your salesmen know that you saw the video, that it was helpful, and that Brett sent you. The back wheel is in excellent shape, and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. You do get these Fox live valve shocks on here with the reservoirs. Frame and underbody, once again, very nice and clean. This thing is an off-road monster. Sounds really good too. Wait till we start this thing up. It sounds so good. Underbody is in really nice shape. It comes with the powder coated Raptor running boards. They look really good. And this passenger side box, no dents, no dings. Very nice condition to LED tail lamps. You get that dual rear exhaust. The rear bumper is in really nice condition. Back up parking sensors, full towing package, which includes receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. And the tailgate is in really nice condition too. It does come with a Ford roll-up tonneau cover. I didn't see any rips or tears on there. Has the power drop-down tailgate. And it does have the original factory exhaust in the bed here. So that comes with the truck. LED bed lighting as well. I'm not really sure what the brand of exhaust is that's on it. You get the tailgate step assist, and that spring and bed liner goes onto the tailgate here. This is a factory Ford spring and bed liner.

Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Today's video, I am doing my week 71 update of my fitness journey. We are back with the blank wall because I'm kind of in a hurry. I am gonna go hang out with some friends and I just wanted to film this video real quick because I'm going out of town pretty soon. So yeah, let's just get on to what I did this week and I'll give you the big updates that I'm so happy about and then we'll move on to my little progress photos. So first on Saturday, last week, I did not work out at all cause I went shopping with my Shaman sister, Emily. And if you haven't seen that video, I will try to remember to link it down below but we went shopping and we walked a lot. So I just obviously didn't work out on Saturday like I normally don't work out on Saturdays. Next on Sunday, I didn't do anything. So I just, you know, kept it cool and just really didn't do anything. And then on Monday, I did a run. I did the second to last run before like hitting the milestone of a 5K. And then I did a booty workout. So hopefully I'll remember to put the booty workout footage on top of here so you guys can see. I've been really trying to remember to film myself doing the workouts. And then Wednesday, I just went on a run. It was kind of in the afternoon. It was just really super hot and sweaty and I really just felt like I was gonna die but I got through it and that is the day I hit my 5K milestone. Backing it up to Monday, I ran 3.01 miles and then I burned 325 calories that day. And then also I did the booty workout. And then Wednesday, I ran 3.48 miles and burned 360 calories. And that is when I completed my 5K goal. And then Thursday and Friday, I did not work out. Friday was just a day that was like kind of a blur. So I just didn't do anything and I really wanted to but I was like, no, I was just really lazy. So instead I worked out today, which is Saturday the 26th and I did the day three of one of Pamela Reeves plans. I kind of backed it up so it's week 17 but I did day three which was killer hit day and I love all of these workouts. I say this in all my videos but if you wanna check out her plans or on her Instagram, but I think she's now moved it over to her app. So you kind of have to just download the app and find the workouts there. Increase my speed a little bit and then also calm it down a bit. So like go a little bit slower and I just paced it out and I got really, really tired. I remember checking my phone because I was getting really tired and I didn't really wanna stop because I wanted to tell you guys that I ran a 5K. So I checked my phone and it was about four more minutes left and I'm like, oh my gosh, it's just like a couple songs. Like you can do it, you can do it. And I did it and I'm so happy. So I just wanted to tell you that I ran a good amount and I was really happy about it. Other than that, another update is this coming week. I plan on working out tomorrow which is Sunday and Monday and then Tuesday I am leaving. So we're going out of town. I won't be working out. So I'm pretty much taking the week off even though I'm gonna work out a couple days next week but overall I'm gonna take the week off, take it easy. Food wise has been really good. I've just been pretty chill with eating. Like nothing too crazy. So I really have been impressed with like my diet and just like making sure I'm listening to my body. But again, I'm going out of town. So I'm gonna be eating like junk. I already bought my bag of Doritos because Doritos are so good. And yeah, so it's pretty much the updates. If I missed anything, I will put it in the comments section below but I think that's pretty much it. Let's move on to the progress photos. So on the left, you're seeing Alex at the beginning of year two and on the right is current Alex. And then here is the side view of that. Honestly, I'm pretty bloated because like it's almost that time of the month for me which really sucks but I feel a huge difference in my body and my subcutaneous fat is lessening by the day. So I'm really happy about that. And I'm building muscle which is amazing. So I couldn't be happier with like my progress and everything. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, give it a thumbs up. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye.


When we assess our existence here on Earth, we pretty much take it for granted that we belong here, but it's a strange phenomena that is happening so close to our everyday life that we seldom even notice, let alone question the fact that human beings are still developing to our surroundings. That scenario inevitably leads to more questions about where exactly we came from and why we forgot where we came from in the first place. Use interpretations from stories in the ancient contextual records of our species leads us to class the ancient situation as a myth simply because we refuse to believe the things that are recorded by our ancestors, but why? Why the hell do we not believe that we came from the stars? All the evidence on the Earth suggests that this was the case, yet we are ignoring the signs of the past and at the same time we wonder. Wondering scenarios that are in our mind are born of something more ancient. A collective species like us are sharing more than we realize. Things like fear are collective in our consciousness from a time where a great trauma was inflicted onto us as a whole and just like a defensive reflex, we are ignoring what we once knew to be true. Wait, do you hear this? The first food that we give our infants is milk. Human milk contains all the nutrients and minerals a baby needs as it begins to grow. As a collective species, milk is the single most important food for survival. Would you be surprised to learn that other species like cow's milk was not a viable consumption option for humans until a few thousand years ago? This means that we only recently developed here on Earth to drink cow's milk somewhere around 5,000 years ago and hundreds of millions around the globe are still unable to consume this alien milk to this day. Most adults worldwide do not produce the enzyme lactase and so are unable to digest the milk sugar lactose. The genetic change that allows us to drink milk without getting sick has been mapped to daring farmers in a region between the Central Balkans and Central Europe. Previously it was thought that natural selection favored milk drinkers only in more northern region because of their greater need for vitamin D in their diet. People living in most parts of the world make vitamin D when sunlight hits their skin but in northern latitudes there isn't enough sunlight to do this for most of the year. You would have to consider that if humans were evolving on this planet for millions of years then we would make a connection between human milk and cow's milk much earlier. But the fact is, and with no stretch of the imagination whatsoever, we only recently have begun to be able to consume the cow's milk and are still in the development process to this day. This is not the only anomaly that suggests we are not used to our surroundings. Our skin burns if we are exposed to the sun, what's that all about? If we had evolved on this planet then our skins, you would imagine, would have developed all that is needed to deal with both our exposure and under exposure to the sun. We also contract diseases as if our nervous systems are under constant attack from bacterias that are saying we don't belong here. The earth is trying to kill us because we do not belong here and are still adapting to our new surroundings. The proof of who we are is no doubt all around us and even within our psyche the question is then why are we not acknowledging this fact? When Scott Kelly and his twin became the subject of an extensive human research project to understand the effects on the human situation, stunning changes between the twins startled the world including Scott aging less than his brother, but that was not all. Genes related to Scott Kelly's immune system, DNA repair, bone formation networks, his bloodstream, and numerous other systems have all been altered. Could it be that humans will in fact go through a series of metamorphic changes to a state we were at before we came to the earth? In our quest to explore the cosmos, perhaps returning to the stars will give us the keys to the past as well. Maybe within each and every one of us there is an answer stored for a later date in time when we start to go through these changes and return to where we once came from. In a book titled Humans Are Not From Earth a renowned author proposes that humans possesses a multitude of physical vulnerabilities such as slower childhood development, a heightened susceptibility to illness, spinal problems, and difficulty giving birth. He concludes that we most likely evolved on another planet. If we go out in the sun too long we get sunburn and that doesn't make a lot of sense unless the conditions on planet earth have changed very dramatically in the last few thousand years. You have to wear sunglasses outdoors that also indicates that our eyes are not properly adapted to the planet. Another factor is that when astronauts actually go into space their body clocks change from 24 hour days to a 24.9 hour day and that happens to be the exact rotational period of a single day on the planet Mars. Given the fact that our body clocks are tuned to the planet Mars, not to the planet earth, that indicates that we actually came here from there. Some have suggested that at some point Mars had an atmosphere and due to some cataclysmic events on Mars the Martians had to find a new home. What if we are the Martians? We know that sounds crazy guys but it also adds up to logical sense. The signs are everywhere. The writing is on the wall. For now we may not have the answers but at least we do have the questions. Thank you for watching.

This is a massive bedroom where you can have your big king-size bed as well as on the other side of the bedroom, a chill area right over there. We go upstairs. That looks like a little study, a little room where you can relax and just do some work. Again, more storage space for whatever it may be. The views are not going to disappoint over here. And we're back outside with the entertainment area with the wooden finishes on the ground. And this is probably where I'd spend most of my days. We're moving to Protea Glen now. Three-bedroom house, two bathrooms. This is amazing, it's under a mall. So, you know, for those first-time home buyers, if you're ready to invest, make a move.

This is, again, where I'd probably spend most of my day. The kitchen area, as well as a scullery area, and a reading area, like a mini library. So many different areas and rooms within this one, six-bedroom house.   There's that view again. We just, you'd never get tired of that view.

Thank you so much for tuning into the Private Property Show House Edition. We'll see you again next week, same time, same place. Remember, stay safe.


Now, what if we were to tell you that the Taj Mahal may be hiding something very significant? This modern wonder was said to have been built in the name of love in memory of the famous Emperor's late wife. Built in such a spectacular fashion that over 350 years after it was built, it is still one of the seven most famous landmarks on this planet. The history of the Crown Palace was seemingly pretty clear cut, standing majestically on the banks of a river. The Taj Mahal is synonymous to love. The name Taj Mahal was thought to have derived from the name of the Emperor's wife, Mumtaz Mahal, but there is information that has come to light that is so stunning, it is almost unbelievable and completely contradicts the origins of this place. The purity of the white marble, the exquisite ornamentation, precious gemstones used and its picturesque location all make a visit to the Taj Mahal gain a place among the most sought after tours in the world. At the brink of dawn when the first rays of the sun hits the dome of this epic monument, it radiates like a heavenly abode and then at dusk, basking in the glory of the moon. It shines like a perfectly carved diamond, appearing as if straight out of some magical tale. Nothing short of an architectural masterpiece and certainly ranked among the greatest monuments in the world, but what is the real story of the Taj Mahal? Wait, do you hear this? 20,000 laborers are supposed to have worked for 22 years during the Emperor's reign in building the Taj Mahal. Had this been true, there should have been available paper design drawings, heaps of labor muster rolls, daily expenditure sheets, bills and receipts of materials ordered, and commissioning orders.  Contrary to what visitors are made to believe the Taj Mahal is not a Islamic mausoleum but an ancient Shiva temple known as Tejo Mahalaya which the fifth generation Mongol Emperor commandeered from the then Maharaja of Jaiapur. The Taj Mahal should therefore be viewed as a temple palace and not as a tomb. When told you are visiting a temple palace, you won't fail to notice its annexes, ruined defensive walls, hillocks, moats, hundreds of rooms, terraces, multi-store towers, secret sealed chambers, guest room, stables, the trident pinnacle of the dome and the sacred esoteric Hindu letter OM carved on the exterior of the wall of the sanctum centurum in his book Taj Mahal, The Real Story. The author says the love story between emperor and empress is a fairy tale created by court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists. Not a single royal chronicle of the emperor's time corroborates the love story. Furthermore there are documents suggesting the Taj Mahal predates this era significantly and was a temple palace dedicated to Lord Shiva. For example, Professor Marvin Miller of New York took a few samples from the Riverside doorway of the Taj, carbon dating test revealed that the door was nearly 400 years older than expected and maybe even older. European traveler Johann Albert Mandelsloh who visited Agra in 1638, only 7 years after the Empress's death, and he describes the life of the city in his memoirs, but he makes no reference to the Taj Mahal being built. The writings of Peter Mundy, an English visitor to Agra, also within a year of the Empress's death and he is also suggesting that the Taj was a noteworthy building well in existence before this time. There are also a number of design and architectural inconsistencies that support the belief that the Taj Mahal being a typical Hindu temple rather than a mausoleum. Many rooms in the Taj Mahal have remained sealed since this time and are still inaccessible to the public. It is entirely possible the reason for this is because they contain a headless statue of Shiva and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples. There are persons who are connected with the repair and the maintenance of the Taj who have seen the ancient sacred Shiva and other idols sealed in the thick walls and in chambers in the secret sealed redstone stories below the marble basement. The archaeological survey of India is keeping discreetly, politely and diplomatically silent about it to the point of dereliction of its own duty to probe into hidden historical evidence. Fearing political backlash, the Indian government tried to have Oak's book withdrawn from the bookstores and to this day it is unavailable. It isn't even available on Amazon to this day in any format. There are claims that the government of India have threatened the Indian publisher with dire consequences. Incredibly, the only original source of the claim for the Taj Mahal to be the Emperor's creation is an inaccurate and misinterpreted journal written by 17th century French Jewel merchant Jean-Baptiste Travenner and all other subsequent accounts were either based on Travenner's unverified statements or were sycophantic additions after this period in time. A letter from the prince to his father, the Emperor, is featured in at least three chronicles regarding a special resting place for the Empress, his mother. In that letter, the prince records in 1652 itself that the several buildings in the fancied burial place of his mother was seven storied and were so old that they were all leaking while the dome had developed a crack on the northern side. He therefore ordered immediate repairs to the buildings at his own expense while recommending to the Emperor that more elaborate repairs be carried out later. This is the proof that during this period of time the Taj complex was so old as to need immediate repairs. The Emperor's official chronicler states that the Empress body was laid to rest in a lofty sky high palace with a majestic dome. The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur retains in his secret personal Kapad Dwarah collection two orders from the Emperor dated December 18th, 1633, requisitioning the Taj building complex. This was such a blatant action that the then ruler of Jaipur was ashamed to make the document public. A Sanskrit inscription too supports the conclusion that the Taj originated as a Shiva temple. Wrongly termed as the Bechua inscription, it refers to the raising of a crystal white Shiva temple so alluring that Lord Shiva once enshrined in it decided never to return to Mount Kalish as usual abode. That inscription dated 1155 AD was removed from the Taj Mahal Garden at the Emperor's orders. Historians and archaeologists have blundered and terming the inscription the Bechua inscription when the record doesn't say that it was found by Bechua. It ought in fact to be called the Tejo Mahalya inscription because it was originally installed in the Taj Garden before it was uprooted and cast away. A clue to the tampering is found on pages 216-217 volume 4 of Archaeological Survey of India reports published 1874 stating that a great square black ballistic pillar witch with the base and capitol of another pillar now is the grounds of Agra. It is well known, once stood in the garden of the Taj. Further quotes from the journals of Tamerlan and Babur show that this palace predates the said construction period and also points to the notable absence of any claim at all by the Emperor himself for its construction. Tavaner's claim of having seen the beginning and end of the entire construction work being carried out during his time here is refuted by simply pointing out that the enormous discrepancies between the three periods during which Tavaner stayed here between 1641 and 1663 and the period over which it is claimed to have been constructed 1631 to 1653. It is also disputed that the latter part of the presumed construction period as being implausible as they coincide with the leader's incarceration according to all accounts what Tavaner saw was actually the work to convert it to a mausoleum and not the original construction itself and advances convincing details on construction costs and labor requirements to support his theory. The Empress's real name was Arjaman Banu Bigham and she was conferred the horrific title Mumtaz-Ul-Zamani by her father-in-law but never Mumtaz-Mahal and it is contended that she acquired the addition Mahal posthumously by virtue of being entombed in the palace and that on the contrary it was not the monument which acquired her name as later-day historians would have us believe. The term Mahal is exclusively used in India is not of Arabic or Persian origin therefore not of the Mahal period and contends that it is instead of Sanskrit origin. One can easily identify Mahal as a contraction to the Sanskrit Mahalaya or Mahalaya meaning grand residence and when Taj or Tej meaning a crown is the qualifying adjective the term takes on a whole new meaning. Grand residence of the crown or grand royal palace Tejas is also the Sanskrit term for resplendence and Tajma Mahalaya also means resplendent shrine. The latter contensions would seem to be born out of the immensity and opulence of the Taj Mahal and its environs which are more consistent with the structure of a palace complex than that of a mausoleum. The grand palace no doubt has Hindu origins with a wealth of cooperative detail from the trident of Lord Shiva present on its dome to specific details on its decor. The Taj Mahal has a trident pinnacle over the dome. A full scale of the trident pinnacle is inlaid in the redstone courtyard to the east of the Taj. The central shaft of the trident depicts a kalash holding two bent mango leaves and a coconut. This is a sacred Hindu motif. Identical pinnacles have been seen over Hindu and Buddhist temples in the Himalayan region. Tridents are also depicted against a red lotus background at the apex of the stately marble arched entrance on all four sides of the wonder. People fondly but mistakenly believe all these centuries that the Taj pinnacle depicts a Islamic crescent and star. It was a lightning conductor installed by the British rulers in India. Contrarily, the pinnacle is a marvel of Hindu metalwork since the pinnacle made of non-rusting alloy is also perhaps a lightning deflector and the pinnacle of the replica is drawn in the eastern courtyard is significant because the east is of special importance to the Hindus as the direction in which the sun rises. The pinnacle on the dome has the word Allah on it as inscribed after capture. However, the pinnacle figure on the ground does not have the word Allah. Radio carbon dating was performed on some door samples taken from the Taj Mahal and the conclusion to these tests determined that the monument predates the set construction in the 17th century by at least three centuries. Archimetric methods are indubitably a great value in determining the true ages of buildings like the Taj Mahal and the fact of their inclusion considerably adds to the strength of the theory that this place is much older than we are being led to believe. Radio carbon dating is based on the measurement of the constant decay of C14 radio activity in organic materials and is a relatively well established technique limited however to materials such as wood and fibers. Thermal luminescence is another recent technique applicable among others to pottery shards, baked brick and sediments and is also fairly precise for dates up to the last 3000 years but its application requires careful sampling which is not easily handled by the non-specialist.  Any or several of these techniques properly applied to the study of the Taj Mahal would unambiguously reveal her true age. It would indeed be in the interest of science, history and posterity to have a complete study undertaken by competent scientists. The famous shroud of turn was believed to have been C14 dated to a medieval era fabrication but it was later discovered that the portion that was studied was actually added later. Similarly, scientific dating is the only honest truly objective means of determining when the Taj Mahal was first built, if and when alterations were carried out and to what extent. This massive complex is also a rich archaeological treasure house that needs to be explored to better understand Indian history and to put all the various myths of whatever origin to rest. This has nothing to do with belittling the achievements of one community or another for all we know every one of the stories surrounding the Taj Mahal could be a myth and the truth be elsewhere. The enigmatic structure is scrawled over with 14 chapters of the Holy Quran but nowhere is there even the slightest or the remotest illusion in that Islamic overriding to the emperor's authorship of the Taj. Had he been the builder and built this place out of love for his loft's empress, he would have said so in so many words before beginning to quote from the Quran. Had the emperor really built the Taj Mahal as a wonder mausoleum, history would have recorded a specific date on which his beloved was ceremoniously buried in the Taj Mahal. No such date is ever mentioned. This important missing detail decisively exposes the fallacy of the Taj Mahal legend and in fact even the year of her death is unknown. It is variously speculated to be between 1629 and 1640 but had she deserved a fabulous burial as is claimed. The date of her death had not been a matter of much speculation. Apparently the date of her death was so insignificant an event as not to merit any special notice. In fact, she was one of many wives of the emperor. The prophet Mohammed has ordained that the burial spot of a Muslim person should be inconspicuous and must not be marked by even a single tombstone. In flagrant violation of this the Taj Mahal has one grave in the basement and another in the first floor chamber both ascribed to the empress. The two centiphas were in fact directed by the emperor to bury the two tiered Shiva Lingus that were consecrated in the Taj. It is customary for Hindus to install two Shiva Lingus one over the other in two stories as may be seen in other Hindu temples in the region. PN Oak stated that Taj Mahal should be viewed as a temple palace and not as a tomb. He even goes on to say that the Empress is not even buried there. According to him all the records of the Taj Mahal are just instruments to hide its true origin. To prove his claim he even filed a petition in the court for permission to break open the centiphas and to tear down brick walls in the basement chambers to prove his case. However, his case was rejected by the court and his book outlawed. This place is dating to the 12th century at least and not the 17th century which was later implied and caught on. It was simply repaired during this period and claimed by a different culture to that of the builders. What do you guys think of this cover up anyway? Comments below and as always thank you for watching.

I really appreciate it You bet and is that it for the hands raised any mystery that it concludes hands raised great Thank you, and I'm going to ask him you bring up the site plan again for me Can you trail with your mouse so I understand Where what the drive with the drive pattern is it's hard for me to tell on here? It comes from Cleveland Avenue It goes this is the drive through Okay Got it Got it. So I guess and the pickup window is that over by the C2 Sign on the I guess the north side. Oh, no, what would be on the east side of the building? That might be a question for the applicant The owner has his hands raised. Oh, yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead And do they have can they still speak I sir you have permissions to speak please unmute and begin speaking Can you guys hear me? Yeah, sure I can So the pickup window our drive through pickup window is where B3 is about no actually on the look here It's yeah, it's about where B3 is on the lower part of the oh, okay. I see I see okay so so you so So the drive through you you have a menu board on the exterior of the building on the East side is that for walk up? Yeah, so we have a walk-up patio where if you see the blue D one. Yeah That's the menu board for the walk-up patio And so yes, that's to answer your question. That's where the walk-up patio menu is Okay, and then and then what are I guess I'm just I'm not I do understand That you're expanding the menu board on the drive-through aisle that makes sense And there's it makes good sense when you have a long line to have the menu boards kind of play Strategically along that drive-through aisle, but I'm not understanding what the the two signs the two signs on the the south The south elevation those are those are just those are not menu signs. Those are mine No, so the one I'm assuming you're talking about C1 and C2 I Am Not I'm talking about B1 and D1 B1 it looks like the newer signs. Oh, no, those are the existing sign. Yeah, the new ones are in red, correct, right? Okay, right Existing ones are in blue. I'm just wondering What's there now and what we're adding? That's what I'm trying to get to here. So right now if you're looking at B2 B2 would be a I'm trying to I'm trying to cross reference here B2 is a Dutch Bros coffee Sign on the top of our building Next to it where C2 is proposed. It's just a logo.  It's like a I want to say it's a tower-ish kind of looking thing Our building It's just our logo. We don't have any of our logos on our building, which is a just a windmill So that's what B2 is We'll see one the new sign. So it's just two windmills on on the two sides of that blue tower that we're adding Proposing to add What I'm more I'm actually curious because I did not which is unusual I didn't get an opportunity to do a site visit Okay, I'm curious about the existing sign. So there's right between B3 and C1 There's two existing signs. What are those? Okay, I have elevations if you'd like me to share Actually about I mean, but let me look so B3 right now is Another is just a generic. It says Dutch Bros coffee on the building. It's it's pretty much the same as the B2 Okay, so B3 is wait, hold on a second here. So B3 Sorry, I'm having to go back and forth between these elevations. So We're proposing B3 to be a Dutch Bros coffee just like be the existing B2 Because the traffic on Hopper going eastbound. Oh, there's no There's no signage going eastbound on Hopper Okay coffee park But it just it seems it seems very heavy on the signage to me And having the logos C1 and C2 I understand that that that takes a little bit of the the heart burn away And the monument signs already existing which is great. I understand that completely And I will say that I went ahead. I read I did read the resolution. I've asked Jan to try and bring up the Elevations yeah, and in the meantime, I want to say that I did review the resolution And I will say that the findings that were made were spectacular. I agree with them I did have some questions and I did have some questions Or I did have a couple small edits on the resolution that I wanted to read into the record, which I will do Just before I act and Getting in there. Thanks for your patience everybody. I have Elevations ready to share if needed Can you share this? Yeah, I'll go ahead and promote you to panelists. Please stand by for the prompt Thank you. Hey, we are here Nick Johnson and this is Connor Ashcroft. Hello. Yes, and a sign on him We'll share now. Can you see that? Okay? Yeah, yeah Okay So your questions on the existing signs versus proposed. There's the site plan for reference the There we go, okay, so on the south elevation This sign is existing Dutch Bros coffee, right? Is the windmill? Got it our element that I was kind enough to point out On this elevation, which is the east elevation? We get over to the west elevation There is no sign. It's currently here for v3 is a Pretty prominent elevation as you're approaching From the west heading eastbound and here are the two menus That were also proposing and I believe these menu contents Would be promotional in nature whether they are for a drink special of the month or a local charitable contribution or fundraiser that the Hong family is What do you call promoting And those contributions usually for local charitable donations So those are the proposed signs No, and I have I don't have any issue. I don't have any issue with the dry vial menu boards nothing What I'm trying to can you go back to the site plan again? Yes sorry so we've got streets on Can you point out where I clean it's Cleveland and there's Cleveland and what it was copper. Yeah, that's right here Okay, and that's way further west No east. I'm sorry. That's like past the talk of that wasn't it? No Even is east of I'm trying it's so on that On the the new Dutch brothers sign, which I think was on the west elevation Who is going to see that Was that a street facing Entry and ingress and egress of the whole shopping center and there's currently no visibility of what the business is on that side Mm-hmm. So it would be the only sign that would label What people are looking for us because the main street is all treed and you can see the tower from yeah Street, which is why we want the windmills and then the drive-through aisle has nothing on it So we would like to be able to have people at the shopping center know where they're Able and able to locate the building this area was super helpful. My apologies. I'm usually very good about doing site visits and for the record I will confess. I didn't do it this time. So this is super helpful So you've answered all my questions. Thank you very much So there were a couple of small edits that I wanted to read into the record and that's in the in the resolution in the second whereas It's the sign variants approval to allow the proposed project is based on the project description an official approved exhibit dated stamped received February 1st 2023 and then I wanted to add Whereas to memorialize the number of signs that are currently and approved on site with the approval of this resolution And so I'm going to add in whereas approval of this project will allow the following on-site signs One monument sign five wall signs and five menu board panels Then I also would like to add one condition of approval And that the plan saying that the plan set submitted for building permits shall match those approved by the zoning administrator Day stamped received on February 1st 2023 I have a draft so it's not necessary to take notes or relisten. I there's a another draft here available for stout and with that I need to ask do you accept the conditions of approval? That you require a permit sign permits and that your hours of construction are limited to eight to five On monday through saturday with no construction on sundays for holidays Yes, can we accept a high? Yes Great with that. I'm going to approve the sign very So thank you very much for explaining to me again my apologies for not doing the site visit. I it's It's just been a week. So it's okay. Thank you for your guide. Thank you for your time I'll say again, there is an appeal period and that appeal period expires on june 12 So you can apply for your building permits during that time We can even issue the building permits during that time if somebody does submit an appeal to this If we're in permit review, it'll be stopped and if you're in under construction It'll be stopped, but it's only a couple 10 days away. So Thank you very much. Okay. Have a great day. Thank you. Thank you. Take care Okay, and that moves us on to Item six, which is adjournment. So I am adjourning the meeting at 10 53 Thank you
