.......Sergeant Pepper Taught The Band To Play...........no wait! That's a different story!

It was 20 years ago today that I told "The Man" to take his job and shove it, thus embarking on the adventure known as Cook's Restorations.

Sure has been a big fun time!

Congratulations! You are an inspiration to anyone that dreams of doing what they love for a living.

Sometimes I dream of giving the school board a principal's version of your blank check speech...I don't think it would work out so well.

Well, in 20 years I'll be 78. Probably work and race til I'm about 77 then consider retirement.

Congratulations!  Every single day I wish I had my own business, and admire those who've made it work. 

Tim, isn't there much of a market for one-room schools any more? Just build a big ol garage out back and let it serve double duty.  Might have to call yourself a Mennonite to draw the right audience, but it could work out . . .

It was twenty years ago today,
Greg Cook took a leap of faith
Taking restorations the extra mile
His work is guaranteed to raise a smile
So let me just suggest to you
Send that beater you've had for all these years
To Greg Cooks Magic Trailer Land

It's a lot of fun to share time with a person that loves his work as much as you. Congratulations!

Happy non-work birthday to you,
Happy non-work birthday to you!
OK, that's about enough of that......
