I'm not really big on speeches, never really done one before, but I gotta say thank you

for everything that you guys have done for me in the last six months.

I was in a really bad place and she'll tell you, I was headed down a really bad road and

you guys have turned it around like I never would have thought possible.

I know I've tried this numerous times for 60 or 90 days.

It always felt great but never stuck with it and I still can't believe I'm doing a triathlon

tomorrow.

But you guys have definitely all saved my life and I really appreciate everything you guys

are doing and this is just the icing on the cake.

So there you go.

I'm gonna get some.

I just want to say thank you.

Thanks for the hard work.

That was Joinga giving a dinner toast at a party that we had the night before our

triathlon at the Essleston family farm that is located in upstate New York just outside

of the capital of the state of New York which is Albany.

It's been in the Essleston family believe it or not since 1675 when Martin Cornelius van

Yessleston sailed over from Holland and kind of put a stake in the ground here.

It's one of two tri-centennial farms that have been owned and operated by the same family
