 I know the owner reasonably well, he has had quite a few medical problems in the past, and I am sure currently. Nice guy when he is ok.  Jack actually helped him fix his bug on the side of the road where it broke down while going to some show.  I was surprised the owner could not fix it himself, because he was very good with bugs. I know he did not thank Jack for the help to get it going, but just took off. I contribute that to the meds he was taking - I he seemed a bit out of it at the time.  Am surprised he was able to keep the shop open for this long.... his father really tried to help him continue the business, but I guess it got to be too much.

  It's been years since I been there, he had some good stuff and some crazy stuff, such as he made a stretch bug limo for fun.  Maybe I will stop over to see what he has
